"He is the Great One. Wayne Gretzky's contribution to his sport is almost immeasurable, earning him a place among the finest athletes of the century. Now, Total Gretzky - a lavish, full-color book based on The Hockey News' commemorative magazine The Great One, but adding much, much more - provides fans with a wonderful and lasting tribute to the greatest hockey player of all time. Total Gretzky features over 130 glorious, stunning photographs, almost all in color. It includes a moving tribute by celebrated hockey author Roy MacGregor, a foreword by Gretzky fan and friend Peter Gzowski, and fascinating and revealing articles by former NHL players and acclaimed Hockey News editors and writers. And Total Gretzky features something truly unique: the most exhaustive look at Gretzky's career, in numbers, ever compiled. In addition to career totals and records held, Total Gretzky lists every game, year by year, in which Gretzky ever played in the NHL, in the WHA, in junior, on Team Canada, and in all-star games, with a running total of goals, assists and points accumulated for each stage of his remarkable career. Milestone games and records are highlighted, and Gretzky's amazing achievements are set against those of other hockey immortals. Total Gretzky is a dazzling and complete testament to Wayne Gretzky, a book that no hockey fan should be without." - from the rear outer cover.
