Wayne Gretzky's name and statue stand as symbols of Edmonton ’s hockey greatness, but recent actions have shown he no longer deserves this honour.

Not wearing a Team Canada jersey at the 4 Nations Face-Off game was disgraceful, but giving a thumbs up to the U.S. team was even worse.

It's time for city officials to do the right thing: Remove Gretzkky's statue and rename Wayne Gretkky Drive .

Edmonton has no shortage of heroes who have remained steadfast in their loyalty.
