Book Description

November 27, 1999
Total Gretzky provides fans with a wonderful and lasting tribute to the greatest hockey player of all time. This gorgeous, full-colour book based on The Hockey News’ commemorative magazine The Great One, but adding much, much more, gives readers the total picture. It features over 130 glorious, stunning photographs, almost exclusively in colour. It includes a moving tribute by celebrated hockey author Roy MacGregor, a foreword by Gretzky fan and friend Peter Gzowski, and fascinating and revealing articles by former NHL players and acclaimed Hockey News editors and writers.

And Total Gretzky features something truly unique: the most exhaustive look at Gretzky’s career, in numbers, ever compiled. In addition to career totals and records held, Total Gretzky lists every game, year by year, in which Gretzky ever played in the NHL, in the WHA, in junior, on Team Canada, and in all-star games, with a running total of goals, assists and points accumulated for each stage of his remarkable career. Milestone games and records are highlighted, and Gretzky’s amazing achievements are set against those of other hockey immortals.

Total Gretzky is a dazzling and complete testament to Wayne Gretzky, a book that no hockey fan should be without.


Editorial Reviews

Review

“As a certified Gretzky addict, I preferred Total Gretzky to the other books. It’s a treat to read Gzowski and Roy MacGregor’s assessments of Number 99.…Total Gretzky has the best stats section.”
Edmonton Journal

“[Total Gretzky] has all the goods in pictures and stats. But its writing sets it apart.”
Globe and Mail

“This glossy 176-page offering is a keeper.…gorgeously peppered with photographs, making it a good view as well as a read.”
Hamilton Spectator

5.0 out of 5 stars An unforgettable champion, February 2, 2000
This review is from: Total Gretzky: The Magic, The Legend, The Numbers (Hardcover)
A champion is a lot of things for a fan, or just for anyone who claims to know him... He is mostly a great sign of ability,virtue, coherence, but what happens when a champion isn't simply the best athlete in his sport, but also an excellent prove of how to live a life?
