"He shoots, he scores!" is a phrase synonymous with the National Hockey League and "The Great One," number 99 Wayne Gretzky. He is the most prolific scorer in NHL history and undeniably the greatest hockey player to grace North American ice arenas. Four Stanley Cups, nine MVP trophies, and an incredible 61 entries stamped in the NHL record book are testament to his athletic genius. But his mark on the game is more than just records, and Gretzky: The Great One and the Next Ones examines the impact he has had not only on players but on the league itself. In this wonderful retrospective, we see how Gretzky saved the game of hockey in Los Angeles and allowed the NHL to move its base from the frozen tundra of the Great White North to the Sun Belt of Florida, Texas, Arizona, and California. While that may seem like a stretch, it's not difficult to see Gretzky's impact on the next generation of stars arriving. And the best way to analyze these up-and-comers is through the eyes of the Great One. Gretzky examines the styles of the game's rising young stars, including Detroit's Sergei Federov, Colorado's Peter Forsberg, Pittsburgh's Jaromir Jagr, Anaheim's Teemu Selanne and Paul Kariya, Philadelphia's John LeClair, Dallas's Mike Modano, Toronto's Mats Sundin, Phoenix's Jeremy Roenick and Keith Tkachuk, and New York Islander Zigmund Palffy.
This video is an offensive hockey fan's dream, with clips of exciting goals, passes, and teamwork. In NHL parlance, this video shoots and scores. --Gordie Sholtys
