After watching my kid play this year, the assists stats are really impressive considering they’re all puck hogs at that age

Poor kid was so hated by so many hockey parents back then. He was booed and called a puck hog.

Imagine scoring 500 points in one year… that’s the craziest thing ever
SometimesLifeIsGood
71/72 averaging 6 points per game. I am guessing they won it all

If you want a good read, check out his NHL career wiki. It’s just a series of records and accomplishments and it just goes on and on. It’s hard to believe one person did all this
*In his first NHL season, 1979–80, Gretzky was awarded the Hart Memorial Trophy as the NHL’s Most Valuable Player (the first of eight in a row)….*

How is there even enough time in the games to put up 517 points

‘What about his nose and eyes?’
‘Pucks never hit those.’

71-72 mustve have been boring right? Wouldnt it get old just potting a hat trick every game?

At what point was the coach like: Ok Wayne, stop scoring now, we’re winning by 50.
This seems so odd.

Fun little side story to go with this that my Grandpa always told;
Gretzky Sr. was a tad nuts about Wayne and would have him on the ice every breathing minute. Wayne would play with his age group and then also play with the older teams in Brantford also (how he ends up with like 80+ gp). In Welland Ontario they hold the famous Silver Stick Tourny every year for all ages and levels of minor hockey. My grandpa was coaching the St Catharines team, age 12-13s. They were up 5-1 at the start of the 3rd against Brantford. Wayne finished playing his game with the 10-11s, got dropped off on the bench of the Brantford 12-13 year olds team for the third. He scored 4 goals and 2 assists in the third and Brantford beat my Grandpa’s team 7-6 lmao.

4.5 goals per game in that last season. What a maniac.

Astronomical numbers there boys

And how many of those age advanced as well?
Completely unreal. If that happened today his parents would need security.

The fact that someone kept detailed stats of a 9 year old is ridiculous and misses the point of youth sports.

When hat tricks are a subpar effort…
Jfc. His last year he averaged 4.4 goals a game.
