So now we have the sale confirmation. Now The Great One, is confirmed to be part of our local club. I would hope with this announcement some credibility will be brought to the organization and a proper coach can be hired.

I guessed it was going to happen yesterday.

Gretzky will for sure help sell some tickets. This is really good news.

Why will he help sell tickets? Is he playing? I did not realize he was lacing up the skates.
He is the minority owner.
I agree it is good news.
Hopefully he will not let this guy embarrass the Great One.

But to come out and say that he will quote for sure quote help sell some tickets is kind of silly.

The only way he may help sell some tickets is if he actually comes to a game and drops the puck lol

If you don’t think they are going to play up the Gretzky connection as part of marketing, I think you are way wrong.

They’ll do it but will it matter if the team on the ice is garbage it’s not like he’ll be there taking pictures every game

If he merely shows up once a year, it will be all over social media and there will be a buzz in the arena.

If they have a good team they’ll have a buzz in the arena you don’t need Wayne for that I’m not saying having his name connected won’t help I just don’t think it helps as much as people think it will

Extra crispy today huh? The picture of the new owners (including Wayne) says it all to me. Yes, having him attend a game or two would put the local fans (and the league) into orbit. Heck we have had some minor celebrities (and a PM) at our games to great effect much less The Great One.

If all he did was show up, sit in the box and give us a "Go Dogs Go" the place would go crazy. C'mon even you have to be a 'lil enthused by that prospect?!

I am sure Gretzky wines will be for sale at the arena. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him at the home opener dropping the puck.
