• When Keith was old enough to start hockey, Wayne was still at home. That meant twice as many practices, and twice as many games.
• Keith is almost like Wayne. Keith has a temper. If you cross-check Wayne or knocke him down he just gives you that funny little smile, then goes and tries to score the goal that will beat you. If you knock Keith down and you're going to get it right back in spades.
• There was a playoff game when he was 11 years old for a Magnetic Metal minor peewees. Keith is their big scorer. Stop him and you pretty much stopped the team.
• So there they are, the Gretzky kids, each one different, each one special as every kid is to every parent.
• From Wayne through Brent, we've made it clear that once you started something, you finished it. School project, sport, hobby, it made no difference. You finished what you started, like it or not, because if you do it early in life, you'll do it later, too. We wanted them to learn early: in everything you do, you follow through.
• Respect fo others was and is essential, of course, especially towards adults, but other kids, too. And you never laugh at anyone about what the are or what they do.
