Ode To Wayne Gretzky
We all carry the same genes
and look how different we turn out;
I honed my skills to playing hockey
and look how far I’ve come.

Note:
Wayne Gretzky was born in Brantford, Ontario, in 1961. He played Junior Hockey in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, for the Soo Greyhounds, and in 1978, signed with the Indianapolis Races of the World Hockey Association (WHA). That same year, he was traded to the Edmonton Oilers of the WHA, who joined the National Hockey League (NHL) when the WHA folded. While with the Edmonton Oilers, Wayne and his fellow teammates won four Stanley Cups. Wayne Gretzky, aka “The Great One”, went on to play for the Los Angeles Kings, St. Louis Blues, and ended his hockey career with the New York Rangers in 1999 following his retirement.
