Wayne Gretzky's Enduring Legacy: How The Great One Still Dominates Hockey's Spotlight in 2025
Wayne Gretzky BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
The hockey world is still buzzing with some of the echoes of Wayne Gretzky’s legendary legacy, though his days of scoring headlines as a player are long past. The most direct “Wayne news” from the last few days might actually be less about him and more about the records he once held—Alex Ovechkin, for example, just played his 1,500th career NHL game for the Washington Capitals, a milestone only previously reached by Gretzky and a handful of others, according to coverage from ClickOrlando. Ovechkin’s continued assault on Gretzky’s goal-scoring record, now officially surpassed earlier this year, still keeps Gretzky’s name in the conversation whenever the topic of NHL greatness comes up. In fact, when Ovechkin recently tied Gretzky’s record for most third-period goals—336—the NHL.com Media Site’s morning skate noted it, ensuring Gretzky’s statistical influence remains a talking point despite his retirement. Gretzky, for his part, continues to be honored in these moments; he publicly congratulated Ovechkin when the Russian superstar finally broke his long-standing goals record back in April 2025.
On the business front, Gretzky’s wealth remains a hot topic, with the Times of India reporting his net worth in 2025 is about 250 million dollars, far outpacing even Ovechkin’s 80 million. Much of Gretzky’s fortune is tied to post-career ventures—Wine businesses, NHL team ownership stakes, and enduring brand deals with giants like Nike and Coca-Cola keep “The Great One’s” bank account humming. He’s also still a regular presence in sports media, recently landing a lucrative deal with TNT after ESPN reportedly failed to secure his signature, as reported by AOL. His broadcasting duties continue to bring his calm, authoritative voice to national NHL coverage, preserving his status as hockey’s ambassador to mainstream America.
Socially, Gretzky is quiet—no major public appearances, interviews, or viral moments to report in the last few days. His family’s Gretzky Hockey School, which tours North America, is active, but there’s no indication he’s been personally on the ice at any recent camps. His endorsements, legacy, and occasional media commentary keep his name in lights, but lately, it’s the achievements of others—measured against his records—that bring him back into headlines. The Gretzky brand endures not through controversy or flash, but through steady, dignified influence: He’s still the gold standard, even when he’s not the one holding the puck.
