Wayne Gretzky: How many seasons did play| Goal record
Great man has some big problems. Wayne Gretzky has a resume that has no equal in all of professional sports. He dominates the record books for the NHL, owns more than any athlete in his respective sport, and has enough hardware and jewelry to support a third world country.
How many seasons did play
He played 20 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) from 1979 to 1999 for four teams.
Goal record
Ovechkin, who turns 37 in September, trails Gretzky with 94 goals. Given that he averaged 0.61 goals per game in his career, it will take Ovechkin about 154 games to pass Gretzky if he continues at that pace. So if Ovechkin, who is under contract with Washington for three more seasons, stays healthy, we could see him break Gretzky’s record in 2024-25.
