TORONTO — Question for The Great One: Who’s the greatest?
The question was a simple one. The answer, not so much...
In announcing its upcoming splashy centennial celebrations to honour the NHL’s 100th anniversary, the league revealed Tuesday that Gretzky would serve as the year-long ambassador for its assembly line of festivities. And if you don’t agree that he’s the perfect candidate to serve in that capacity, then you really don’t follow the sport.
During his public introduction to the new post, Gretzky was asked who would be on his all-time NHL all-star team. He was told he could include himself, an offer he declined.
