Gretzky Would Have Coached Phoenix In Shortened Season

While I put up the Newslink yesterday, I forgot to call attention to the last part of the Q&A with the Great One:

Is it safe to assume you will be the head coach the next time the Coyotes take the ice?

“If we had played an abbreviated season, I was definitely going to give it a whirl. But I don’t know when the next time is the Coyotes are going to play a game. So, at this point, I’m going to step back and reconsider it before making a long-term commitment.”

So a would-be Coach Gretzky is iffy now.  Another thing we’ve missed out on - finding out if the great player could be the great coach.
