I`m not trying to be the next Wayne Gretzky or Mario Lemieux, ... I am putting pressure on myself to do my best and perform to my potential -- that`s all I can do.
- Sidney CrosbyIt was crazy. There were Japanese people all over him. It was unbelievable. When we arrived in Tokyo, they didn`t think about it. They didn`t think we were going to come in and people would flip out for Wayne Gretzky. Shayne Corson almost took him on his back and had to walk him to the bus because people were all over him. He couldn`t do anything.
- Martin BrodeurMr. Gretzky is very capable of dealing with this story on his own accord and we see nothing in this story that requires any Olympic response at this time.
- Michael ChambersIt`s Wayne Gretzky. No matter what he does it wouldn`t have bothered me. He`s a great man.
- Cassie CampbellGretzky will take the heat. If you`re on that committee, you`re doing what Gretzky tells you.
