VOICE OVER: Rebecca Brayton
Wayne Gretzky was unlike any hockey player to come before, or after. Known as The Great One to this day, Gretzky is considered by many to be the greatest hockey player ever to play the game. It therefore shocked Canadians when he was uprooted from Edmonton to go play in Los Angeles, from a market deeply invested in its hockey team to a market where seemingly no one cared about the sport. In this video, http://www.WatchMojo.com speaks with sportswriter Stephen Brunt to learn about what led up to the Gretzky trade, how that trade changed the game forever, and to discuss his book, 'Gretzky's Tears.'
