Gretzky is playing in Sydney. Too bad I am going to the Rugby at the same time.

Is he actually playing or is he just there for show?

Wayne Gretzky heading Down Under to promote hockey

"Gretzky, who is attending the U.S. Open to watch his daughter's fiance, Dustin Johnson, compete this weekend, is heading down early next week and will suit up for a 4-on-4 game to be played in Sydney on June 25."

''"First off, we want to take down some players who can actually play," Gretzky said.''

 

[Bradesmaen]

He was already heading here but wasn't going to play

I purchased tickets a few months back. I don't follow the sport, nor know any players, and I have no expectations really, except for it being an entertaining evening...after all, it is at The Entertainment Centre (Adelaide). Should I go crazy with the warm clothes?

Nah you'll be fine in standard winter gear, especially if you're sitting upstairs

For those that went tonight, what did you think?

 

[FedEXFalls]

Don't know how the events themselves went but a fair few people in the Australian hockey community got to play with Gretzky. Great to see hard work being rewarded.

The next phase of these series starts tonight. Only in Sydney and Melbourne this year.

Played in Newcastle the other night?

Haven't heard a word about it until now, interesting article about "NHL star" Ben Harpur who's mum is Australian.
I'd expect my "NHL stars" to have at least one NHL goal but interesting read here

Hilarious him talking about this tournament as if he actually gives a s**t.

 

[brucetiki]

It’s back for another year. Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane next year.

 

[Kakkle]

Oh no, no Melbourne next year!!!!!!

These tournaments aren't going away anytime soon.

They've announced Adelaide will get one again in 2020, but it will be at Playford Arena
