At the time of his retirement in 1999, he <a href="/wiki/List_of_career_achievements_by_Wayne_Gretzky" title="List of career achievements by Wayne Gretzky">held 61 NHL records</a>: 40 regular season records, 15 playoff records, and 6 <a href="/wiki/NHL_All-Star_Game" title="NHL All-Star Game">All-Star</a> records.<a href="#cite_note-Greatest-2">[2]</a> Born and raised in <a href="/wiki/Brantford" title="Brantford">Brantford</a>, Ontario, Gretzky honed his skills on a backyard rink and regularly played <a href="/wiki/List_of_ice_hockey_leagues#Amateur" title="List of ice hockey leagues">minor hockey</a> at a level far above his peers.<a href="#cite_note-Young-5">[5]</a> Despite his unimpressive size and strength, Gretzky's intelligence, stamina, and reading of the game were unrivaled. He was adept at dodging checks from opposing players, consistently anticipated where the puck was going to be, and executed the right move at the right time. Gretzky became known for setting up behind his opponent's net, an area that was nicknamed "Gretzky's office".<a href="#cite_note-sptimes.com-6">[6]</a> Gretzky was the top scorer in the <a href="/wiki/1978_World_Junior_Ice_Hockey_Championships" title="1978 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships">1978 World Junior Championships</a>.

The effect of calling offsetting penalties was felt immediately in the NHL because during the early 1980s, when the Gretzky-era Oilers entered a four-on-four or three-on-three situation with an opponent, they frequently used the space on the ice to score one or more goals.<a href="#cite_note-gretzkyrule2-76">[76]</a><a href="#cite_note-77">[77]</a> A few days later, during a press conference the day after being awarded the Hart Memorial Trophy, Gretzky criticized the NHL for punishing teams and players who previously benefited.

The focus of the game before Gretzky's arrival, he said, especially among the Canadian teams, was on the player with the puck—getting the puck to a star player who would make the big play. <blockquote>Gretzky reversed that. He knew he wasn't big enough, strong enough, or even fast enough to do what he wanted to do if others focused on him. Like a magician, he had to direct attention elsewhere, to his four teammates on the ice with him, to create a momentary distraction to move unnoticed into the open ice where size and strength didn't matter. ... Gretzky made his opponents compete with five players, not one, and he made his teammates full partners in the game. He made them skate to his level and pass and finish up to his level or they would be embarrassed.<a href="#cite_note-82">[82]</a></blockquote> Between 1982 and 1985, the Edmonton Oilers averaged 423 goals a season, when no previous team had scored 400, and Gretzky on his own had averaged 207 points when no player before had scored more than 152 in one year. Dryden wrote in his book <a href="/wiki/The_Game_(Dryden_book)" title="The Game (Dryden book)">The Game</a>, "In the past, defenders and teams had learned to devise strategies to stop opponents with the puck. To stop them without it, that was interference. But now, if players without the puck skated just as hard as those with it, but faster, and dodged and darted to open ice just as determinedly, but more effectively, how did you shut them down?"<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDryden2013291-81">[81]</a> In this, Gretzky added his considerable influence as the preeminent NHL star of his day to that of the Soviets, who had also developed a more team style of play and had successfully used it against the best NHL teams, beginning in the <a href="/wiki/1972_Summit_Series" class="mw-redirect" title="1972 Summit Series">1972 Summit Series</a>. "The Soviets and Gretzky changed the NHL game", says Dryden. "Gretzky, the kid from Brantford with the Belarusian name, was the acceptable face of Soviet hockey.

While they were using all this energy trying to rattle his teeth, he was just skating away, circling, analyzing things."<a href="#cite_note-145">[145]</a> He was also considered one of the most creative players in hockey. "You never knew what he was going to do", said hockey Hall of Famer Igor Larionov. "He was improvising all the time. Every time he took the ice, there was some spontaneous decision he would make. That's what made him such a phenomenal player."<a href="#cite_note-146">[146]</a> Gretzky's ability to improvise came into the spotlight at the 1998 Olympics in Japan. Then an older player in the sunset of his career, he had been passed over for the captaincy of the team. But as the series continued, his unique skills made him a <a href="/wiki/Team_leader" title="Team leader">team leader</a>. <blockquote>The Canadians had trouble with the big ice. They had trouble with the European patterns and the lateral play and the endless, inventive cycling. ... Slowly, as game after game went by and the concern continued to rise, Wayne Gretzky began climbing through the line-up. He, almost alone among the Canadians, seemed to take to the larger ice surface as if it offered more opportunity instead of obligation  ... His playing time soared, as he was being sent on not just for power plays but double shifts and even penalty kills. By the final round ... it was Wayne Gretzky who assumed the leadership both on and off the ice.<a href="#cite_note-147">[147]</a> </blockquote> He passed and shot with prodigious skill. Hall of Fame defenceman Bobby Orr said of Gretzky, "He passes better than anybody I've ever seen."<a href="#cite_note-148">[148]</a> In his first two seasons in the NHL, his deft passing skills helped earn him a reputation as an ace playmaker, and so opposing defencemen focused their efforts on foiling his attempts to pass the puck to other scorers. In response, Gretzky started shooting on goal himself—and with exceptional effectiveness.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated71-149">[149]</a> He had a fast and accurate shot. "Wayne Gretzky was one of the most accurate scorers in NHL history", said one biography.<a href="#cite_note-150">[150]</a> Statistics support the contention: whereas Phil Esposito, who had set the previous goal-scoring record, needed 550 shots to score 76 goals, Gretzky netted his 76th after only 287 shots—about half as many. He scored his all-time single-season record of 92 goals with just 369 shots.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated71-149">[149]</a> Because he was so light compared to other players, goalies were often surprised by how hard Gretzky's shot was. Goalies called his shots "sneaky fast". He also had a way of never shooting the puck with the same rhythm twice, making his shots harder to time and block.<a href="#cite_note-151">[151]</a> Veteran Canadian journalist <a href="/wiki/Peter_Gzowski" title="Peter Gzowski">Peter Gzowski</a> wrote that Gretzky seemed to be able to slow down time.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGzowski2004203–204-152">[152]</a> "There is an unhurried grace to everything Gretzky does on the ice. Winding up for the slapshot, he will stop for an almost imperceptible moment at the top of his arc, like a golfer with a rhythmic swing." "Gretzky uses this room to insert an extra beat into his actions. In front of the net, eyeball to eyeball with the goaltender ... he will ... hold the puck one ... extra instant, upsetting the anticipated rhythm of the game, extending the moment. ... He distorts time, and not only by slowing it down. Sometimes he will release the puck before he appears to be ready, threading the pass through a maze of players precisely to the blade of a teammate's stick, or finding a chink in a goaltender's armour and slipping the puck into it ... before the goaltender is ready to react."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGzowski2004174–175-153">[153]</a> Commentators have noted Gretzky's uncanny ability to judge the position of the other players on the ice—so much so that many suspected he enjoyed some kind of <a href="/wiki/Extrasensory_perception" title="Extrasensory perception">extrasensory perception</a>, that he played like he had "eyes in the back of his head".<a href="#cite_note-154">[154]</a> Gretzky said he sensed other players more than he saw them. "I get a feeling about where a teammate is going to be", he said. "A lot of times, I can turn and pass without even looking."<a href="#cite_note-Young-5">[5]</a> Gretzky explained that what appeared to be instinct was, in large part, the effect of his relentless study and practice of the game, in co-operation with his coaches. As a result, he developed a deep understanding of its shifting patterns and dynamics. Gzowski said that Gretzky understood the game so well, that he could instantly recognize and capitalize upon emerging patterns of play: "What we take to be creative genius is in fact a reaction to a situation that he has stored in his brain as deeply and firmly as his own phone number." Gretzky agreed with this assessment, saying, "That's a hundred percent right. It's all practice. I got it from my Dad. . . . Nobody would ever say a doctor had learned his profession by instinct; yet in my own way I've put in almost as much time studying hockey as a medical student puts in studying medicine."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGzowski2001203–204-155">[155]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Physical_attributes">Physical attributes</h3></div> When he entered the league in 1979, critics opined that Gretzky was "too small, too wiry, and too slow to be a force in the [NHL]."<a href="#cite_note-156">[156]</a> He weighed 160 pounds (73 kg), compared to the NHL average of 189 pounds (86 kg) at that time.<a href="#cite_note-growing-157">[157]</a> But that year, Gretzky tied for first place in scoring, and won the Hart Trophy for the league's most valuable player.<a href="#cite_note-158">[158]</a> In his second year in the league, weighing just 165 pounds, he broke the previous single-season scoring record, racking up 164 points.<a href="#cite_note-159">[159]</a> The next year (1981–82), at 170 pounds—still "a wisp compared to the average NHL player"—he set the all-time goal-scoring record, putting 92 pucks in the net.<a href="#cite_note-160">[160]</a> He weighed "about 170 pounds" for the better part of his career.<a href="#cite_note-161">[161]</a> He consistently scored last in strength tests among the Edmonton Oilers, bench pressing only 140 pounds (64 kg).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGretzkyReilly199087-162">[162]</a> Despite his lack of strength, Gretzky had remarkable physical stamina. Like his hero, Gordie Howe, Gretzky possessed "an exceptional capacity to renew his energy resources quickly." In 1980, when an exercise physiologist tested the recuperative abilities of all of the Edmonton Oilers, Gretzky scored so high that the tester said he "thought the machine had broken".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGzowski2004176-163">[163]</a> His stamina is also indicated by the fact that Gretzky often scored late in the game.
