At 15, Ty Gretzky is far from the budding hockey superstar that his father, Wayne, was at the same age.
Ty Gretzky has 4 goals and 6 assists this season for Shattuck-St. Mary’s.
In only his second season of competitive hockey, he has four goals and six assists in 29 games as a center for the lowest level of the four upper-school boys teams at the Shattuck-St. Mary’s School. Often, he said, he hears taunts from opponents who expect more from a player with a famous last name.
“I get smack-talked all the time on the ice from other players,” said Ty, a 10th-grader. “Just like, ‘I thought you were going to be a lot better,’ stuff like that.”
