Where is Wayne Gretzky from?
Asked by Wiki User
Wayne Gretzky was born in Brantford, Ontario, Canada, about 60 miles southwest of Toronto, on January 26th, 1961.
He played his early hockey there, usually against boys several years older. At the age of 10, playing for the Brantford Nadrofsky Steelers, he scored 378 goals in one season.
In 1975, at the age of 14, he transferred to Toronto, where he played Junior B hockey -- a level where players usually range between 16 and 20 years old. He did this to escape the criticism and heckling of parents and other players in Brantford.
To play in Toronto, he had to battle the Ontario Minor Hockey Association, which argued he was not really a Toronto resident, as his family stayed behind in Brantford. Ultimately, he was allowed to play for the Toronto Nationals, in 1975-76 and 1976-77.
The following season, at 16, he moved to Sault Ste. Marie to play his only full season of Major Junior hockey, with the Soo Greyhounds. From there, he turned pro, at just 17 years old, with the Indianapolis Racers of the World Hockey Association.

Last edemonton oiler to score 5 goals in one game?
Asked by Wiki User
While I don't know exactly who the last Oiler was to score five goals in one game, I know only three Oilers have ever done it. Gretzky did it four times, Jari Kurri did it once and Pat Hughes who had 130 career goals did it once also. I think its a safe bet to say it was Gretzky.

Why did Eric Lindros refuse to play for the Nordiques?
Asked by Myra Hodkiewicz
My understanding is that he had no desire to play hockey for Marcel Aubut who owned the Nordiques at the time. I have been looking but am currently unable to find what Lindros' specific issue with Aubut was.
