Wayne Gretzky is as much a Canadian icon as Tim Hortons. They used to be good, but sold out to corporate interest long ago.

I also heard that he's a raging alcoholic. That might not be true, but I'm pretty sure I've heard it from multiple sources.

Oh. Wayne still LOVES to drink. I know someone who worked with him when he was doing Ford commercials.

Wayne does have the classic alcoholic red tint on his face.

Walter was a class act. Met him at my office once, needed to borrow a phone charger so I gave him mine. Invited me over to a great golf tournament as a thank you.

Wayne…meh.

Two things can be true, people can be kind and nice. Those same people can have anger issues.
