A few months ago, the 65 year old NHL legend Wayne Gretzky made an appearance on the Daily Hive podcast where he addressed the situation and said, “People are going to say and believe what they want…The bottom line is, I know in my heart I’m Canadian, I’ve stayed Canadian and I’m a Canadian for life.”The NHL legend added, “I had a lot of support.
