    It’s wild. The most wild Gretzky stat I can think of is if Wayne never scored a goal he would still be 1 all time in points scored by a comfortable margin

  2. 1000 points in 223 games

    678 goals

    322 assists

    Child Gretz was averaging a hatty and nearly 2 assists every game. Utterly batshit insane even for youth hockey

    Different era… But yet no kid has come close to matching this.

  4. Always worth remembering that he was the best sniper of all time early in his career, and it was 80 games a season during his prime. His game changed as he aged and decided that he’d rather shoot for 200 points with 20% in goals than 200 points with almost half in goals while taking injuries. Bet he’d have the goal record closer to 96 in a season if he was healthy for all 80 games in 83-84. If he were doing 82 games a year, Ovechkin might not have a shot.

    The guy was nuts.

    Imagine being the parent of the kid thats team had to play the Steelers again this week. Parents probably were pissed about that Gretzky kid.

    He was primarily playing defense those years. His uncle from a Calgary Herald article in 1972:

    “Wayne’s done everything but goal, but he mostly plays defence. When we think we need another goal, we’ll put him up at centre.”

    Same article also says he played the full 45 minutes of their games.

    The weirdest part is seeing him with more goals than assists

    Selfish kid. Should’ve passed the puck more s/

  9. catgotcha

    Pssh. He was playing against little kids.

    I bet I could rack up those numbers too if I played against kids. But I choose not to.

    Pretty good but doubt he’ll amount to anything against NHLers

  11. beginner-woodworker

    378 goals in 85 games is psychotic. That’s like 4-5 a game jesus

  12. Assuming they even had goalies in those games, I’m willing to bet there’s not a single one that ever made it to the big leagues.

    Gretzky stats make no sense, the dude is an alien who played hockey.

  14. DirtyRugger17

    That last year of 4.5 goal/gm and 1.5 assist/gm…woof.

    Imagine going out and being down 6 but still having to play the rest of the team.

  15. typeronin

    And that’s just average. You know there has to be at least one game in there where he scored like 30 points.

  16. DlEB4UWAKE

    Cus Brantford is amazing that’s why

  17. ColdRoller52

    That goal:assist ratio, what a puck hog

  18. MagnustheJust

    I came into existence during that season… Heh.

  19. A-zimmerman1234

    Wonder if he ever got bored of scoring all the time
