There’s great, and then there’s GREAT. Canadian hockey legend Wayne Gretzky owns so many records that it’s almost hard to comprehend his utter dominance in the sport. Many of his achievements will likely never be broken, and he is an absolute legend in Canada and among NHL fans worldwide.
Winning four Stanley Cups (1984, 1985, 1987 ,1988), Gretzky set records in both regular season and post-season play, holding the record for most career regular season goals (894), assists (1,963), points (2,857) and hat-tricks (50). The next closest player in total points for the regular season is Jaromir Jagr at 1,921,[1] thus he had more career assists than any other player has total points.
Despite his legendary status, he set the internet on fire by appearing at a victory night party for President-elect Donald Trump. Sending leftists further into angst, he wore a white Make America Great Again cap at the Mar-a-Lago soiree. Oh, the horror!
Gretzky is MAGA. It's taking over sports. https://t.co/wmuuaHf6BR

Gretzky joined a long line of pro athletes who rejected the Harris-Biden-Walz vision for America. And why not? Winning at sports requires excellence, discipline, and commitment—it’s a meritocracy, and favors aren’t handed out for how you “identify”:
Gretzky joined several athletes who have outwardly supported Trump on his way to defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election last week.
Athletes like Nick Bosa, Harrison Butker, James Winchester, Brett Favre, Danica Patrick, Jake Paul, Antonio Brown, Le’Veon Bell and a slew of UFC fighters have come out in support of Trump over the last few months.
Of course, the snowflakes were butthurt:
Gretzky was my idol growing up so this stings. A lot.

Oh, poor baby. But have you noticed “Perspective Canada,” what your Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has wrought on your country?

Canada under Trudeau has gone down a path that Biden-Harris-Walz could only dream of. He’s the answer to every one of their beta-male, censorious, socialist dreams. No wonder the Great One and his family have no interest in seeing that here.
Don Cherry and Wayne Gretzky, two of the world's greatest sports icons, are proud supporters of Donald Trump. And unlike Justin Trudeau, they have a lot of respect for Canadian veterans.

Raise your hand if you admire both of these men! ✋ pic.twitter.com/C5CXU0xOGD
But the wokesters gonna cry:
So disappointed in the Gretzky family. I looked up to you since I was a child. You were the role model for decency and family. All my memories are now tarnished and I will no longer think of you as one of the greats on and off the ice. @WayneGretzky

Yeah, whatever. Good for the Great One and his family, and for all the haters, get over yourselves. He’s right, and you’re wrong.
Meantime, in case you’ve forgotten just how great he was or weren’t around for it, here’s a reel that will take your mind off politics for a minute and remind you of just how completely he dominated the sport. Enjoy, despite the degraded footage:
