Who is Brent Gretzky?
Brent Gretzky is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey player, and the brother of Wayne and Keith Gretzky. He briefly played in the National Hockey League for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Taught the game by his father Walter, Gretzky was drafted by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft, but did not find the same success as his brother Wayne.
Brent grew up playing minor hockey in Brantford, Ontario for the Brantford Classics of the OMHA. In 1988-89, he played Jr. B hockey for the Brantford Classics of the Mid-Western Junior B Hockey League.
He was selected in the 1st round of the 1989 OHL Priority Selection by the Belleville Bulls where he spent three years. With the Bulls, he was a linemate of future NHL'er Darren McCarty.
During Gretzky's 13-game tenure with Tampa Bay, he played once against Wayne: "We must have faced off 15 times and I won one. I remember chasing him behind the net. I knew what he was going to do and I still found myself looking for my jock. The hardest part was after the game, going and watching ESPN. It was older Gretzky shows young Gretzky how to play hockey."
