Idk I think he would like for his sport to go to next level. But Bill likes having his hockey. Once it's popular, which it won't be, it's not his precious band no one heard of but he's sure is better than the Stones. Getting more fans is nearly impossible for hockey. Low scoring. Hard to follow the puck. Just not going to happen. Aesthetically just not cutting it. Focus on getting more from the fans you do have.

I love hockey. I play, my kids both play, I coach. To grow the game they've got to get more sun-belt kids involved. The problem is that hockey is an incredibly expensive sport. You're looking at $1k/year per kid just to play house league. Compare that to the costs of soccer, baseball or basketball and you can see that hockey is out of reach for most lower-income families. And that's not even mentioning the lack of rinks in many US communities. I'd like to see the professional hockey putting a lot more money back into minor hockey. A move to small rinks for kids under 12 that are significantly cheaper to build and operate would also be a good start.

Bill Burr and Wayne Gretzky. Great combination and wonderful conversation. Thank you.

I’m a couple months older than Wayne and was born only a few miles from Branford, in Galt. Sadly not a penny for me to play hockey growing up where my family eventually relocated to in northern Nova Scotia when I was three. I’ve played lots as an adult but I really appreciate everything that Wayne has done in his career. Of course I only became aware of him when he became an Oiler in 79 but I’ve been able to live a hockey dream, by extension, through his great efforts. I’ve been a fan all along and debated all the haters with ferocity. I’m still a fan. Saw him play only once. In 1988 I attended his very last home regular season game in Edmonton. It was against the Los Angeles kings. The oilers won but I was mesmerized by his play. It was my first pro game to watch and while the worst player out there was 10 times better than me, the shit he did made all of them look like they belonged sitting next to me. Thanks Wayne for the many fantastic years. The GOAT!

From the perspective of someone outside the Americas and who only watches the Superbowl and no NBA, I think one problem is that it isn't part of the american culture (like it is in Canada, Russia, Sweden and Finland for example). I think another is that it requires by far the most skill to play than any other popular sport out there. A kid needs to kick a ball, now he's playing football. A kid needs to hold a ball and tackle someone, now he's playing american football or rugby. Hit a ball with a stick. Throw a ball through any horizontal crack. With Ice Hockey, first you need to find Ice, which for some places can only be achieved with costly courts. Then you have to learn to skate, which in it's self is harder than most other sports. That is without learning to shoot a puck with a stick, both of which are harder than pretty much anything with a ball. So, having kid's grow up loving Hockey as much is difficult in certain parts of the world. Personally I think that's where the passionate love for most sports come from.

Good points. No other major sport requires you to "learn" the basic movements. They all just require shoes. Batting in baseball does involve an apparatus, but although the pitches are erratic and fast, it's always the same motion (you stand there, the ball comes to you when you are fully expecting it and you try to hit it). In hockey the stickwork is on a whole 'nother learning curve. It's also stupid expensive. Not too many poor kids make the NHL.

@@jasondashney thank you for addressing a huge problem. I lived in a small town with a working class family... my parents still put me in hockey because I loved it, even though a lot of years I had to wear second hand equipment that didn't always fit so well (I was 6 feet tall and weighed 130 pounds at like... 11 years old), but you look at someone like Connor mcdavid, from Richmond Hill... that's rich people land. He's the best player in the NHL right now, and guaranteed he lived in expensive hockey programs and was shipped to the leagues where everyone was paying more attention... nobody from my small town would have the resources available to basically pay their way whorishly into the public eye. I have known a lot of incredible young hockey players who never even had a glimmer of hope because of their family and where they came from.

Jason Dashney, Wayne Gretzky’s family was pretty poor, but in the northern climates there is free ice all over the place, just gotta shovel the snow and keep it clean. Those who truly had a passion played for hours and hours. Kids today don’t do enough of that. But it sure was good for Howe, Orr and Gretzky.

how am I only just seeing this clip? amazing

That was awesome

Absolutely right! NBA turned into acting not sports, you get guys who didn't even get hit leave for the game while in the NHL guys get 75 stitches above their eye and are back in the game 20 minutes later! NHL is awesome, keep it real

The only reason NHL players are not marketed the same way as NFL and NBA players because they don't pretend to be primadonna's. Look at Odell Beckham and Lebron James, these guys are out their marketing themselves with their brands. Hockey players are much more grounded in that sense, hence why the coverage on them is not as big compared to their counterparts

Rickie j, When I saw Gretzky for the first time at MSG early in the '80s, he scored a hat trick. But I also saw that he would hang at the boards on the blue line to get his breakaways. Later, when Gretzky was a Ranger, I saw him score his last playoff hat trick against the Florida Panthers. When he was on the other team, I though Gretzky was a bit of a slacker on the ice but when I got to see him for those two years, I changed my opinion of him. Maybe because Gretzky was older and a little smarter, I don't know.

@Rickie j I played against Orr's brother Dale. Loved Bobby Orr but I dont compare them nor feel I have to denigrate other players to justify a favourite. You want a negative about Orr? He was still recommending Allan Eagleson as an agent to other players after there were signs he was cheating them. Some of those players were wiped out financially. To his credit, he admitted it later.

Bill always talks about how much he respects Gretzky and the amazing career that he had. I'm sure if this was his first time meeting Wayne it would be one of the best days of his life. However in interviews like this Wayne has to stay diplomatic and professional where Bill doesn't. So, Bill was just saying what Gretzky wish he could. Kind of interesting dynamic. Bill saw what Gretzky was saying and then went. "Pass the puck here man, I got it!"
