Editorial Reviews

He was an unlikely star in a violent game, seemingly too small, too slow and not strong enough. But he became one of the best players in the history of hockey. Wayne Gretzky played at a different level than anyone else on the ice--his instincts, intelligence, anticipation and drive more than made up for his physical shortcomings. Without ever seeking the spotlight, he understood the expectations that his stardom placed on him, and he spent the second half of his career as an ambassador for the sport. BIOGRAPHY® goes beyond the ice to paint a complete picture of the man known as "The Great One," tracing his journey to stardom and exploring his private life. Footage from throughout his career shows his greatest moments, while his emotions are on display in the tearful press conference where he announced his move from Edmonton to Los Angeles. Teammates Mike Richter, Glenn Healy and Mark Messier are among the many friends, family members, colleagues and confidantes interviewed in this fascinating profile of the man many feel is the best to ever play the game.
