WAYNE GRETZKY is known simply as "The Great One." He is the best-known hockey player in the world and the game's biggest celebrity. He not only changed the game, he singlehandedly changed the whole league and turned hockey into a premier sport in the United States. He has won Stanley Cups, Canada Cups, and a gold medal. He scored more assists than any other player has total points, and is the only player ever to score over 200 points in a season. There is simply no bigger name in the game, and quite possibly no bigger name in Canada.

KIRSTIE MCLELLAN DAY ranks among the top hockey book writers in the world thanks to three national bestsellers: Theo Fleury's #1 bestselling memoir Playing with Fire, Bob Probert's Tough Guy, and Ron MacLean's Cornered. Kirstie is a mother of five and lives with her husband, television producer Larry Day, in Calgary. Together they own one of Canada's most successful television companies, Pyramid Productions.
