Nearly six years after he stepped off the Corel Centre ice from his final game in Canada as an NHL player, Gretzky's place in hockey has not dimmed.
"Retirement" was a relative term in his case. When Gretzky lands in Ottawa tomorrow for Tuesday's game against the Senators, the Great One is a rookie again -- first-year head coach of a Phoenix Coyotes team that is above .500 and one of the NHL's brightest turn-around stories.
