Wayne Gretzky has amassed a remarkable litany of awards in his lifetime, including Four Stanley Cup and three Canada cup titles, numerous all-time records, and other honors.Among these, he won 10 Art Ross Trophies as the NHL's leading scorer, nine Hart Trophies as the League's MVP and two Conn Smythe Trophies as playoff MVP.
He earned five Lady Byng Trophies as the NHL's most gentlemanly player and made 18 consecutive All-Star Game appearances, securing three All-Star MVP Awards. Gretzky is an eight-time First All-Star Team member and seven-time Second All-Star Team member. He holds virtually every offensive record in the NHL. Gretzky played in the NHL's All-Star Game every year he was in the league and was the first player to be named game MVP with three different teams. Internationally, his record is unparalleled among NHL players.
After the World Juniors in 1978, he played in the World Championship in 1982. He also played in each Canada Cup in 1981, 1984, 1987 and 1991. Each time he led the tournament in scoring, and only in his first year did the team fail to claim the title of world champion.
Gretzky also participated in the 1996 World Cup, the replacement tournament for the Canada Cup, where Canada placed second for the first time to the United States. His greatest international honor came in 1997, when he was selected to represent Canada at the Olympic Winter Games in Japan for the following year.
Toward the end of the 1998-99 season, Gretzky announced his retirement. The NHL also retired his number 99 to ensure no one else would ever wear it. He was later inducted into the Hall of Fame, and in century-end polls he was consistently ranked the greatest hockey player of all time.
In 2000, Gretzky was named Executive Director of Canada's 2002 Men's Olympic Hockey team. His methods paved the way for Canada to claim the gold 5-2 over the USA.
