Wayne Gretzky, nicknamed “The Great One” for the incomparable skills that allowed him to become the NHL’s career scoring leader, apparently is preparing to test his skills in another part of the hockey world.
Gretzky resigned his position as vice chairman of the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday, a day after the Oilers were upset by the Winnipeg Jets and swept out of the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Various reports, including one from the New York Post, indicate Gretzky will become the lead studio analyst for TNT’s hockey broadcasts.
