I humbly confess that before reading a book about Connor McDavid, I didn't know about Wayne Gretzky at all. I only looked up and searched about him because in Connor McDavid book, they said he was (is) almost as good as Wayne Gretzky. I needed to prepare for my son's question(s) on who Wayne Gretzky was (is) and why they called Connor McDavid as good as him. That was the start of my rabbit hole in watching videos about Wayne Gretzky. And what a legend he was (is).
The videos about Wayne Gretzky playing hockey were mostly in black-and-white and/or in low quality, something that made my 5 years old son annoyed eveytime he watched them. He doesn't fully understand that back then the technology was not as advanced as now. However, from those videos, it was certain that Wayne Gretzky was (is) a hockey legend. This book supported that fact by presented the statics from when Wayne Gretzky was still a little boy to his greatest hockey career.
Wayne Gretzky, through this book, inspired my son to keep playing hockey even though it's hard. My son said if Wayne Gretzky could play the sport since he was young, he can do it too.
By the end of the book, there was even more inspirational from this hockey legend. Wayne Gretzky was (is) so humble. I told my son that the legend himself was (is) humble, so there is no reason for us to be arrogant. In hockey and other things in our life.
Thank you to Luke Hanlon, Flux, Press Box Books, and NetGalley for the ARC.
