He played 20 seasons in the  National Hockey League  (NHL) for four teams from 1979 to 1999. Nicknamed " the Great One ", [ 1 ]  he has been called the greatest ice hockey player ever by the NHL [ 2 ]  based on surveys of hockey writers, ex-players, general managers and coaches. [ 3 ]  Gretzky is the leading career  point  scorer and  assist  producer in NHL history and has more assists than any other player has total career points. [ 4 ]  He is the only NHL player to total over 200 points in one season, a feat he accomplished four times. In addition, Gretzky scored more than 100 points in 15 professional seasons. At the time of his retirement in 1999, he  held 61 NHL records : 40 regular season records, 15 playoff records, and six  All-Star  records. [ 2 ] Born and raised in  Brantford , Ontario, Gretzky honed his skills on a backyard rink and regularly played  minor ice hockey  at a level far above his peers. [ 5 ]  Despite his unimpressive size and strength, Gretzky's intelligence, stamina, and reading of the game were unrivaled. He was adept at dodging checks from opposing players, consistently anticipated where the puck was going to be, and executed the right move at the right time. Gretzky became known for setting up behind his opponent's net, an area that was nicknamed "Gretzky's office". [ 6 ] Gretzky was the top scorer in the  1978 World Junior Championships , then signed with the  Indianapolis Racers  of the  World Hockey Association  (WHA), where he briefly played before being traded to the  Edmonton Oilers . After the  NHL-WHA merger , he set many scoring records in ten seasons with the Oilers, and led them to four  Stanley Cup  championships. Traded to the  Los Angeles Kings  where he played eight seasons, he led them to the  1993 Stanley Cup Finals , and he is credited with popularizing hockey in California. [ 7 ]  He played briefly for the  St. Louis Blues  before finishing his career with the  New York Rangers . He won nine  Hart Trophies  as the most valuable player, 10  Art Ross Trophies  for most  points  in a season, two  Conn Smythe Trophies  as playoff MVP and five  Lester B. Pearson Awards  as the most outstanding player as judged by his peers. He led the league in goal-scoring five times and assists 16 times. He also won the  Lady Byng Memorial Trophy  for sportsmanship and performance five times and often spoke against  fighting in hockey . [ 8 ] After his retirement in  1999 , Gretzky was immediately inducted into the  Hockey Hall of Fame , making him the most recent player to have the waiting period waived. The NHL  retired  his  jersey number  99 league-wide. Gretzky was one of six players voted to the  International Ice Hockey Federation 's (IIHF)  Centennial All-Star Team . [ 9 ]  He was inducted into the  IIHF Hall of Fame  in 2000, and received the  Order of Hockey in Canada  in 2012. Gretzky became executive director for the  Canadian national men's hockey team  during the  2002 Winter Olympics , in which the team won a gold medal. In  2000 , he became part-owner of the  Phoenix Coyotes , and following the  2004–05 NHL lock-out , he became the team's head coach. In 2004, Gretzky was inducted into the  Ontario Sports Hall of Fame . [ 10 ]  In September 2009, following the  Phoenix Coyotes' bankruptcy , Gretzky resigned as head coach and relinquished his ownership share. In October 2016, he returned to the Oilers as a minority partner and vice-chairman of their parent company,  Oilers Entertainment Group . He left in 2021 to become an analyst on  Turner Sports '  NHL coverage .     ......  Shipping and Packaging details: I ship everything with cardboard backing. Additionally, I slip all autographed photos inside sturdy photo-protective sleeves. Payment details: Typically, I ship paypal payments right away. PAYPAL is recommended. International shipping will be higher as all international orders go through the Global Shipping program.  How I obtained my autographs, and why I promise a FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE: As a kid, from roughly the years 1965 to 1973, and later from 1974-the present, I have amassed an enormous collection of autographed sports and celebrity memorabilia. In most cases, using Jack Smalling's baseball address lists and other assorted address lists, I wrote to both active and retired baseball players, sending them letters, requests for signatures, and self-addressed-stamped envelopes. This is how I obtained thousands of autographs. I also obtained many autographs in person at area parks and hotels.In the 1980's and 1990's, I travelled the country doing shows (20 National Conventions) and would buy quantities of autographs through player signings. I have every reason to believe that all of the autographs I'm selling are absolutely authentic. I stand by every item I sell. Upon purchasing an item from me through eBay, you may return that item, in the condition in which I shipped it to you, within 14 days of receipt of that item if you are not satisfied with the item.   I am selling each item "as is", per the guarantee I've promised above. All the old time autograph dealers know me and the professional authenticators will vouch for my reputation as well. I do this on a part time basis, so sometimes emails take a day. I have worked hard for my feedback rating. The last thing I want to do is damage my credibility, so if you have legitimate concerns about any item you win from me on eBay, I'll make every effort to remedy the situation to your satisfaction. PLEASE NOTE: Most items come with certificates of authenticity from outside companies (JSA and PSA predominantly; they are the best). I have spent lots of money with third party authenticators and have had very few come back without passing.
