    Walter Gretzky boy. What a great human being. I remember meeting him in the mid 90’s in Brantford. We played in the Walter Gretzky tournament. That man made a point of showing up to each an every game, greeting parents greeting kids. We’re talking A level hockey here. 25 years later I took my stepson to Walters tournament and sure as shit that old fella was there greeting these young kids and their families. What a fucking Canadian treasure.

And every time he made me feel apart of not only a community of hockey players but a nation of Canadians. I understand that Wayne is a legend beyond belief. But his dad is one the most Canadian Canadians you’ll meet. I love them both but Wayne is just they legend born of a myth.

You can see that Gretzky feels at ease and really opens up. I'm glad this interview exists in the world. Gretzky will always be The Great One. Theo Von is great too and deserves a place in the Pantheon of Comedy.

I do not think Wayne will ever have an equal. He was an amazing player, he was also a great person off the ice and gave a lot back to the sport, maybe more than anyone else. My favorite moment was when Canada won at the Olympics in 2002 with one of the best teams ever put together.
