I just happened to catch the Life & Times of Wayne Gretzky. I'm not ashamed to admit that it made me cry. What an amazing, humble man.

You are so correct he was Hockey for that era. He was the Rocket Richard of the 80's and 90's.
 
I live in Paris and work in Brantford (where he was born and raised) I can tell you that his entire family is wonderful. They are very humble people and you would never know that they have a famous son/brother.

My neighbours in London when I was a kid are from Brantford and thier cousins grew up next door to the Gretzky family and went to school with them I got to meet his younger brothers when I was a kid they came with the Anthony's cousins for a visit. What a great bunch of kids they were.
 

The Greatest Canadian episode on him was really good too (regardless of that fact it was hosted by Deb Gray - she was just too flat sounding and used "no brainer" more than once...)

I'd really like to see this program. When was it on and what channel? Do you think they will repeat it?
Thanks!
