Follow Us
Wayne Gretzky doesn’t need an introduction when it comes to the sport. His records are still prominent even after decades and are yet to be broken by an emerging star. While Gretzky and the world await someone greater, he enjoys his retirement by trying new sports.
Lacrosse is a sport that isn’t new to the Great One. During his childhood, Gretzky used to be an avid lacrosse player. Back in 2021, Gretzky was seen enjoying the sport, in a video shared by the official Twitter account of the NHL. “There’s nothing Wayne Gretzky can’t do…”, said the post. The tweet divided fans, with critics lashing at the Great One for not being able to coach in the NHL.
