Sad news 
Family is the most important thing in the world and hockey just pales into insignificance when your loved ones are hurting.
Best wishes to the Gretzky family.

Unfortunately Mrs. Gretzky, with Wayne and family by her side, passed away tonight. My condolences to the Gretzky family and to the hockey family.

My prayers go out to the Gretzky family. There is nothing like your mom. Tough to lose her right before Christmas. Glad he could be there.
