2011 - 25 Cents - Wayne Gretzky Coloured Coin - The Great One - From father to son

Child, Wayne Gretzky practiced for endless hours, occupying all his free time to skate, make penalties and handle his hockey stick. Wayne's father built a rink in the backyard when his son was six.

 In fact, it is more than a rink that Walter Gretzky gave his son. He breathed his true passion: the inexhaustible pleasure of slipping on the ice, and this pleasure transcended technical rigor of training because Wayne loved skating, felt supported and evolved in a fun atmosphere.

 With its sense of play, Wayne became the best hockey player of all time and the most successful player in the history of team sports in North America. Wonder is a legend that could not exist without the fervor of a loving father and a devoted boy or support.
