• WHAT NHL ICON AND CENTENNIAL AMBASSADOR WAYNE GRETZKY IS SAYING ABOUT THE NHL CENTENNIAL FAN ARENA - "The truck is like a moving, mini Hall of Fame. I truly enjoyed my time in there and think kids and fans and players are going to enjoy the tours that they get through the truck. I learned something really new going through the truck. You used to be able to get four assists on a goal. I know a lot about the game of hockey and I didn't know that until today. I wish that was around in the '80s. Don't change the rule for (Jaromir) Jagr now!"
