If anyone thinks that after retiring from NHL, Wayne Gretzky is leading a restricted life, then they are sadly mistaken. The Great One, at 61, is still enjoying life to its brim while crushing beers with his peers. Recently, one of his mates revealed Gretzky’s tenacity to remain awake till 5 a.m. while partying with the guys. Paul Bissonnette, TNT’s NHL show host opened up in a conversation about how the Ice Hockey legend is evergreen when it comes to recreation.

The host of “Spitting’ Chiclets” and Gretzky’s TNT analyst buddy hilariously revealed his nightlife and talked further about his sons. Let’s get to know what Bissonnette had to say about the Great One.

What does Wayne Gretzky still hold on to?

During his time, Gretzky was popular among his fellow players, not only for his game but also for his amicable behavior. Bissonnette came to terms with him when both the players joined the same broadcasting show. As covered by New York Post, in an interview with “ThePat McAffe Show”, he said, “After these broadcasts, sometimes we go to Wayne’s room until like 4-5 in the morning,” He added, “This guy is the biggest guy’s guy. He will crush beers. He will tell me all these iconic stories. Buddy, it’s a dream come true and that alone is incentive enough for me to fly out here once or twice a week and do this gig — just to hear these stories from the greatest hockey player of all-time.”

Bissonnette goes on to recall that during his career from 2009-2014, he became friends with Ty and Trevor Gretzky while playing for the Coyotes. He added that the Gretzky sons threw big parties in their family mansion in Arizona every week. It’s like partying was their family tradition for a long time. Remembering their good old days Bissonnette said, “We would have home games on Saturday. We would go to the bar, and then we’d go back to his place. Let’s just put it this way: I was batting a thousand at this place. The girls were just everywhere. It was insane”.

As the interview proceeded, it became clear that it was Gretzky who convinced Bissonnette to work on this broadcast show. Consequently, they made the show the only successful hockey show ever in 40 years.
