Wayne Gretzky has become such an integral part of hockey it's hard to imagine the game without him. Just try to think of an NHL without the first player to break the 200-point barrier in a single season (Wayne did it on March 25, 1982), the only player to register more than 1,850 career points (Oct. 15, 1989), or the only player to score more than 801 goals (March 23, 1994). Indeed, the memories of Gretzky are so interwoven within the fabric of the game itself, it seems one could not have existed without the other. Such is the legacy of the many facets of The Great One - Gretzky the goal-scoring prodigy, Gretzky the family man, and Wayne Gretzky, the NHL's ambassador to the world. With "Wayne Gretzky: The Making of the Great One," we offer you his story, from the sport's top photographers as well as in the words of those who know him best.This is the complete story of what it takes to be the greatest.
