As a 10-year old boy … Wayne Gretzky was playing for his hometown team – the Brantford Nadrofsky Steelers. 

That year, he scored an astonishing 378 goals in 68 games – an average of 5.6 goals per game!

Wayne would go on to play 21 seasons in his professional hockey career … amassing a stunning 2,857 points – (nearly 1,000 more points than the next closest player)!

Gretzky holds more than 100 NHL records, including (get this) … the record for holding the most records!
