Comment
Talent from father to sonAs a child, Wayne Gretzky would train for endless hours, spending all his free time skating, taking shots on goal and wielding his field hockey stick. Wayne's father built a backyard rink when his son was six years old.
In fact, Walter Gretzky gave his son much more than an ice rink. He instilled in him a true passion: the inexhaustible pleasure of gliding across the ice, and this pleasure transcended the technical rigors of training because Wayne loved to skate, felt supported and moved in a playful atmosphere.
Thanks to his sense of play, Wayne became the best field hockey player of all time and the most successful player in the history of team sports in North America. La Merveille is a legend that could not have existed without the fervor of one boy or the loving support of a devoted father.
