Someone tried to teach Wayne Gretzky how to hold a hockey stick at the Hockey Hall of Fame

Wayne Gretzky is one of the best hockey players of all time, if not the best hockey player of all time.

However, a visit to the Hockey Hall of Fame with his son once turned him into just another guy getting advice on how to hold a hockey stick while playing on a virtual hockey experience.

While talking with the NHL on TNT broadcast crew at the first intermission break of the Philadelphia Flyers and Carolina Hurricanes game on Wednesday night, Gretzky retold a hysterical anecdote about how a Hall of Fame visit once went awry in the best way possible.

It centered on a young kid working an attraction at the Hockey Hall of Fame who tried to give Gretzky advice on how to hold a hockey stick. Yes, really.

We’ll let Gretzky take it from here.

To be fair to that kid, Gretzky said he was wearing a hat while he was trying to play the virtual hockey game and wasn’t immediately recognizable.

However, what a humble brag to run and tell your friends that you gave Gretzky hockey advice while he was playing a virtual hockey game. That’s got to make you the stuff of legends with all of your hockey friends.
