As I’m sure you already know, Wayne Gretzky resigned as the head coach of the Phoenix Coyotes earlier this week which has left a lot of people wondering about his plans for the future. While it’s true that the Coyotes didn’t exactly flourish under his watch, Gretzky really is an ambassador for the sport and it’s great having him around.
Steve Yzerman, who is now the executive director of Hockey Canada as well as the vice president of the Detroit Red Wings, has said that he is hoping to talk to The Great One about his experiences at the Olympics (really? Does anyone want to remember how badly Team Canada performed last time?).
Of course, the 2010 Vancouver Games are just months away so I’m sure that the newly appointed Hockey Canada leader is trying to get prepared. I’m guessing he’s going to ask Gretzky about what went wrong and how to avoid it. I can provide one bit of insight – pick young, skilled players! Sheesh.
