Another press milestone for Wayne Gretzky was when he earned a chapter in a Hockey Book. The photo above is the first of the 3 pages he was designated. The author was especially prophetic in naming the Chapter: Move Over Bobby Orr, Here Comes GRETZKY.

The photo above is from a ProStars baseball tournament and Wayne is actually getting an autograph from Bobby Orr.
The one below was taken in the backyard rink, at the family home in Brantford.

The Great Years in Edmonton
On Wayne's 18th birthday he signed a long term personal services contract with the Edmonton Oilers and proceeded to become a fan favorite everywhere. Clicking on the image above will take you to a profile of his Oiler's days. Clicking on the image below will take you to Pt.1 of a three part interview with Wayne.

Here he is with his famous hockey dad Walter.

This has to be one of my all time favorite's of Gretzky. I have always considered him a dancer, a Ballerina on ice. A Baryshkanov on skates if you will.

No. 9 with big No. 9 aspirations.
By JOHN IABONI...Toronto Telegram
My first significant press coverage took place in Brantford at the rink. The reporter John Iaboni, came to watch me play a hockey game and then wrote the following Story. It was published in the Toronto Telegram October 28, 1971. Once again I was very lucky because the Telegram Newspaper actually folded on or close to October 30th, 1971. If it had folded a couple of days sooner, it is unlikely my story would ever have been told.
