I realize that the question of who is the greatest hockey player is up for debate in this board. But I feel like the league has already decided this. Isn't his number retired?
Yes its Gretzky. Who else? His name is synonymous with the game of hockey around the world. So I feel like when this board debates the point I don't think they give enough consideration to this point. Orr was great. Lemieux was great. But the league chose him to be the face of hockey? Was this just a clever marketing strategy or do they really consider him the greatest ever?

I just realized the man has a separate wiki page for just his achievements.
