You can't play hockey with a bald spot, so I'm hanging up the skates.

When you think of hockey, when you think of Canada, you think of Wayne Gretzky.

When you think of Canada, you think of hockey and you think of Wayne Gretzky.

I'm leaving the game of hockey with nothing but great memories.

When you think of Canadian hockey, he was the greatest ever to play the game. When he talks, everybody listens. He has that much knowledge and respect, and whatever he has to say is important. It's not that we can't win without him, but we feel that much stronger with him.

To play in the Olympics, to play for your country, there's nothing like it. You love doing it and I'm looking forward to it again. We're all looking forward to trying to win another gold.
