Brent Gretzky
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brent Gretzky (born February 20, 1972 in Brantford, Ontario, Canada) is an ice hockey player, and the brother of Wayne Gretzky and Keith Gretzky. He briefly played in the NHL for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Taught the game by his father Walter, Brent was drafted by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft. Unfortunately he would not find the same success as Wayne. During Brent's 13 game stint with Tampa Bay, he played once against him: "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."
Brent is a career minor leaguer, floating between the IHL, the AHL, and the UHL. He played for Graz EC Austria in 1997-98. On June 6, 2006, the Elmira Jackals announced they had acquired his rights from the Motor City Mechanics. He and four other former Danbury Trashers players were served with subpoenas by the FBI in its investigation into owner James Galante's business dealings.
