Wayne Gretzky is widely considered to be the greatest hockey player of all time. He began his career in the World Hockey Association (WHA) in 1978, playing for the Indianapolis Racers and the Edmonton Oilers. He quickly established himself as a dominant player, setting numerous records and leading the Oilers to three WHA championships.
When the WHA folded in 1979, Gretzky was signed by the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He continued to set records and lead the Oilers to four Stanley Cup championships. He was named the NHL's Most Valuable Player a record nine times, and was the first player to score 200 points in a single season.
Gretzky was traded to the Los Angeles Kings in 1988, and he helped the team reach the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in franchise history. He also became the first NHL player to reach the 2,000-point milestone. In 1996, Gretzky was traded to the St. Louis Blues, and he finished his career with the New York Rangers in 1999.
Throughout his career, Gretzky set or tied 61 NHL records. He is the all-time leader in goals (894), assists (1,963), and points (2,857). He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1999, and his number 99 was retired league-wide in 2000. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes of all time, and his legacy continues to inspire generations of hockey players.
