Hockey Canada rumors about Gretzky
- Thread starter richaceg
- Start date
Its sad that politics has invaded sports the way it has over the past decade. Its petty nonsense. Gretzky has always supported and cheered for Canadian hockey teams despite having lived in the US for 30 plus years, having an American wife and American born kids.
Good! If I were PM I would take his rings and citizenship away. He's lucky I'm not!

Why? Because he's friends with Trump? 3 gold medal for Canada during his time not enough? 4 stanley cup wins for Canada not enough? Wayne has always expressed his love for Canada...Good! If I were PM I would take his rings and citizenship away. He's lucky I'm not!

I don't think Mike Commodore is one to just throw it out there for likes and emojis...
Yeah, Gretzky chose trump over Canada.
Just like you did.
Nobody likes right wing traitors.
How did Greztky chose Trump? Wayne is an athlete. He's not a politician. You support Hamas over Canada....what does that make you? A left wing traitor?
He is a Trump ass kisser and should have taken Trump to task when Trump was throwing around his 51-state nonsense.
He lives in the US. He loves the US.
The story is bogus, btw, and confirmed by Wayne.
Yes, what a shame that sports has just now, in this recent time, become political. Back in my day, sports was pure, apolitical competition, free of politics
And who can forget when a young Cassius Clay was drafted into the army, took his tour of duty, and went back to his boxing career, never mentioning his race for the rest of his life.
Of course, there's one guy who WASN'T punished for dodging the Viet Nam draft, and that guy is all about keeping politics out of sports:
AlMamlaka English on Instagram: "Donald Trump marked Team USA’s Olympic men’s hockey gold on Truth Social by sharing an AI-generated video of himself playing for the team after their win over Canada. The Americans claimed their first men’s hockey gold since 1980 at the 2026 Milan–Cortina Olympics, sealing a 2–1 overtime victory through a goal by 24-year-old Jack Hughes. Trump celebrated the following morning by posting a one-minute Grok-created clip showing him, in a suit and tie, scoring twice, accompanied by a fictional call of “What a play by Trump” set to Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger.” #Trump #Canada #JustinTrudeau #EyeoftheTiger #Hockey #AlMamlakaEnglish"

And who can forget how the Federal Bureau of Investigation is maintaining its long-standing tradition of Staying Out of Sports
I mean, it'd be silly to think that people used the sport of Cricket, of all things, to do diplomacy.

Or that a sporting boycott lead to the end of Apartheid in South Africa.
I, along with Mr. Douglas, am completely sure that sports has been completely politics-free from the dawn of time until February 27, 2016, when Barak Obama, in the dying months of his presidency, issued an executive order stating "ALL SPORTS WILL NOW BE POLITICAL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER BARAK HOUSEIN OBAMA"
The rest of the world, being woke, then started making sports political. Of course, Mr. Trump, having been president for 5 of the last 10 years, has been completely powerless to reverse this executive order.

He's not a Trump ass kisser. he's just a friend...lmao...you're right. th 51st state was nonsense and was probably just a troll post.... The guy is still a Canadian Hero...
Confirmed by Wayne Gretzky himself to Ben Mulroney, who read the text between Wayne and himself on air during his afternoon show today.You mean confirmed by Hockey Canada?

Trump's intention wasn't a troll post; he was testing the waters as he did with Greenland. To this day, his admin is still testing the water, and as proof, here you go. Unlike you, I provide receipts for my statements.

An anti-Semite...He's been consistent on that here and all the other boards he's on...
Ultimately perception matters. Especially if part of your core public identity(and that is what you use to sell products) is as the ultimate Canadian success story, small town kid who became the Great One.
Who you are friends with and associate with matters. His public identity is now associated with Trump.

Did you have another stroke?
Gretzky hangs out in Florida with trump.
I support Palestinians, as do most Canadians and now americans.
That makes me within the mainstream, but maybe a bit left.
You are to the right of PeePee here.
Palestine? You back genocide, that's a fringe, hateful and frankly, evil position.
