Re. Stu Cowan says Wayne Gretzky 's decision to give thumbs-up to U.S. team in 4 Nations final was his idea, no one else’s.

He says it was his decision to be honorary captain of Team Canada at the 4 Nations Face-off hockey final.

Don Intihar: It's time to move on from him as a Canadian rep. It's not fair to wipe the city of Edmonton clean of him.

Wayne Gretzky played 20 seasons for four teams, scored 894 goals and 1,963 assists, won nine Hart trophies, two Conn Smythe trophies, five Lady Byngs , and held 61 NHL records.

He may have associated with Trump but to like someone we do not like certainly does not paint him red and have him dishonoured by a city he brought honour to.

It’s time for Canadians to face reality, says Greg Falkenstein .
