The Great One
Wayne Gretzky is known as "The Great One" to ice hockey fans around the world, and with good reason: He holds more records than any player in the history of the sport. From childhood games in his parents' backyard to his final days in the National Hockey League as a member of the New York Rangers, Gretzky displayed a natural talent and agility that thrilled crowds and attracted many new fans to the game.
99: My Life in Pictures traces the Great One's career from playing in his father's backyard rink in Brantford, Ontario, through his unprecedented 21-year pro career during which he rewrote the NHL record book - breaking 61 NHL records, leading Canada in international competition, and captaining the Oilers to four Stanley Cup titles.
This new volume, Wayne Gretzky: the Great Goodbye, is a tribute to his legacy, and this collectable book will provide readers with a keepsake to remember not only his tremendous career but his thoughtfulness, his humble nature and his compassion. |
