Inducted into the

Hall Of Fame in
1999.
On November 22, 1999 Wayne
Gretzky was inducted into the Hockey
Hall of Fame.
As a kid I never imagined that one
day I would be in the Hall Of Fame,
but I guess dreams do come true. I am
overwhelmed with this honour and to
be part of the Hall Of Fame is a great
tribute. Wayne Gretzky
He was the tenth and last person to
have the three year waiting period
waved to be inducted into the Hall Of
Fame.
This just shows another reason why
he is called The Great One.
