Pierre LeBrun at ESPN.com reports that Wayne Gretzky will not be participating as a member of the Rangers alumni team during the Winter Classic Weekend. Here’s what Gretzky said…
“No, I’ll be with my family for the holidays,” Gretzky said. “Plus, they don’t need to see a 50-year-old slow guy out there!”
…that’s too bad. Would have been nice to see Gretzky skating around with Messier in a Rangers jersey one last time. Especially since the last time we saw Gretzky in a game wearing a Rangers jersey, i think he was on a line with PJ Stock and Christian Dube.
