Even off the ice, Wayne Gretzky continues to place in halls of fame, this time, breaking a million-dollar record that has stood for well over a decade.
Known as the NHLs leading point-scorer, the legend is credited for earning close to 2,000 assists in his 20 professional seasons – rightfully earning him an iconic nickname and a place in the hearts of hockey fans worldwide.
For this reason, people practically flocked to the Grey Flannel auction site this week to see who would snag his last worn Oilers jersey – the one he donned when the team won the 1988 Stanley Cup.
