Walter Gretzky, CM, O.Ont (October 8, 1938 – March 4, 2021) was a Canadian who is best known as the father of ice hockey legend Wayne Gretzky. The elder Gretzky, an avid hockey player as a youth and a keen analyst of the game, was credited by his famous son as playing a key role in his phenomenal success as a player. Walter coached his hockey-loving son continuously, starting at age three, building him a backyard rink, devising creative exercises and drills, teaching him profound insights into how to play successfully, and accompanying him to most of his games. He was famous for instructing Wayne and his brothers to “Go to where the puck is going, not where it has been."
