このコンテンツについて
Wayne Gretzky has been firmly in the spotlight over the past few days, starting with major sports business headlines. The hockey legend just signed a multi-year contract extension to remain an NHL analyst for Turner Sports, as announced Monday across the NHL on TNT’s official social channels and confirmed by outlets like Associated Press and Variety. Gretzky spoke with characteristic humility and teamwork, emphasizing on-air chemistry with his colleagues Paul Bissonnette, Anson Carter, Henrik Lundqvist, and host Liam McHugh. Gretzky said, “We might disagree about a play or a player or a team, but there’s no animosity. Nobody tries to take over the microphone or take over the camera. We are a team, just like a hockey team." This resonates as Turner prepares for the new NHL season while their marquee Inside the NBA franchise transitions to Disney’s ESPN, potentially elevating the NHL studio coverage as a future anchor of the Warner Bros. Discovery sports portfolio. Variety notes Warner may be testing the waters for building a new studio flagship around the NHL crew with Gretzky as its iconic face.
In business, Gretzky's keynote appearance at the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo in Las Vegas grabbed attention. The session, moderated by Northwood University president Kent MacDonald, focused on Gretzky’s “Skate to where the puck is going” philosophy as a metaphor for business innovation and leadership—a message acutely relevant in turbulent markets. Execs and guests were eager to absorb lessons from the Great One, especially as he tied athletic intelligence, not just speed and size, to long-term success.
On air, Gretzky also made headlines for his lighthearted back-and-forth with Alex Ovechkin. Seven months ago, Gretzky joked he would buy Ovechkin a new car if he reached 900 career goals — a feat Ovechkin is now tantalizingly close to. This offer resurfaced during TNT coverage this week, with both stars laughing it off and Gretzky quipping “It’s one thing he broke my record, now he wants to break my bank?” This playful moment generated viral buzz among hockey fans and cemented Gretzky’s approachable persona.
Public appearances have been steady, with Gretzky maintaining a high profile in golf—sharing his enjoyment of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and mentoring young athletes. Meanwhile, Gretzky’s daughter Emma continues to dominate social media chatter, drawing tabloid attention for her lifestyle brand collaborations and influencer rise—a reminder that the Gretzky legacy now extends well beyond the rink.
On social media, Gretzky’s re-signing at TNT triggered enthusiastic responses, and his praise for Connor McDavid’s “home discount” contract with Edmonton was widely shared, with Gretzky publicly calling it a rare act of leadership and loyalty in modern sport.
No credible reports mention significant controversies, unconfirmed rumors, or health concerns for Gretzky in this period. All signs point to business as usual—still the class act, still everywhere, still the Great One.
