Wayne Gretzky remains the heartthrob of the NHL even after years pass by. He is regarded as arguably the greatest ice hockey player worldwide. Nicknamed the 'Great One,' Gretzky holds various unique records to his name. Playing 20 seasons in the NHL, he holds records as the leading goalscorer, assists creator, and point scorer. In addition, he is the only player to score 200 points in one season; while achieving this feat four times. With all the remarkable success under his belt, the NHL retired his jersey number 99 as a show of respect.

<h3>Early Life</h3>
Born on January 26th, 1961 in Brantford, Ontario, Gretzky had three brothers and a sister. He is the son of Phyllis Leone and Walter Gretzky. From an early age, his love for hockey came up at a very young age. His father introduced him to the sport and the rest as they say is history. He garnered attention when he was six by playing with older players. Therefore, Gretzky's love for the game evolved into something special. The first example of recognizing his talents came when he earned the Rookie of the Year in the Metro Junior B Hockey League during the 1975-76 season. As the NHL didn't allow signing players under the age of 20, Gretzky shifted his attention to the WHA but eventually found his way into the major leagues.
