- Wayne Gretzky is one of the most legendary athletes in sporting history. You'd think someone so great would receive nothing but praise, but as it turns out, some people really didn't like him.

Quick note about Walter Gretzky: he didn't put his kid through endless drills because he wanted an NHL player. He did it because Wayne wouldn't leave the ice. Walter built a rink in his back yard so he could stay warm as Wayne spent hours skating around for fun.
They always make a point of telling people that it was always Wayne who insisted on skating when he was small so parents don't force their kids, thinking they'll somehow make their sprog the next Great One.
I once got punched by the father of a kid I beat at a Judo tournament for the 5th time that year. The dad saw me going to the bathroom, came after me and punched me in the face, I was 10 years old... He was sentenced for assault and banned from coming to Judo tournaments. Worst thing was that his son was really nice and a guy I liked to chat with between matches but he was so ashamed of what his father had done that he quit Judo completely... Seriously, some parents...
What a sick, vile person. Who the hell stalks and beats up a 10 yo for that?!
There's a reason the number 99 is retired in the whole NHL, "The Great One" isn't a nickname - it's his title.
ComplicatedNickname I like your username. LOL
i thought "The Great One" was Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
sam parker Um.... No. Just, no.
Crystal-Adair SnapsAndSings I mean its true you DUMBASS. Although wayne is obviously more deserving of the title
ComplicatedNickname I live in his hometown and EVERYTHING is named after him
If you go to Wayne Gretzky's restaurant in Toronto, they have the scorecards from his seasons as a kid. He would score like 9 goals every game.
Kid playing hockey scores more than football gods....
That seems impressive, then again I know basically nothing about the sport. Also, hi Tomato, hope those speed runs are going well.
I would watch more Hockey if I could see the puck 😂
tomatoanus daddy i didn't expect to see you here
WoAh ToMaToSeNpAi WaTchEs FaCt FiEnD? I'm assuming you were waiting for the fallout 4 opening cutscene to end.
One time when I was little playing in a football match for kids I score a goal and a boy just came and kick me, understandably this got him kick out of the game. However the mom was not happy about this, calling me a liar and a “sensible baby”(she said to the 8 year old girl crying with a bruise on her leg).
There were many witnesses so the mom ended up claiming it was a sincere accident and that I should have been the one kicked out for not being able to handle “rough play”.
How do I know it wasn’t an accident? Simple... the kid was the goalie.
Oh and in her rant she also defended her son by claiming I was being a “bad winner” by daring to celebrate.(celebrating by jumping and giving high fives to my team)
0utta S1TE hahaha. That is an awesome curse. You win the internet today
0utta S1TE That’s a creative punishment... i like it
I once got told off by a teammate's dad for "stealing" a goal from his son (it was basically a tap-in). But thing is his son took a throw-in and it was going straight in (if the ball goes straight in without any contact from an outfield player, it doesn't count) so I actually did the right thing and next week after he looked the rule up, he apologised.
Was my second (and last) career goal.
It's called soccer
8:52: Brad is so horrified by the behaviour of the parents he briefly turns into a robot.
@@GigawingsVideo he dead
He was temporarily possessed by Mr Blobby
Pingas😎
As a referee for Hockey Canada, and as a Canadian, I can 100% confirm that parents of kids in all levels of Hockey go to a whole new level of insane about all the details of what their "angel", as Karl said, is doing. This was a special case for Wayne, but it is not unusual for parents to yell at the coaches of both teams, at referees, or at other parents. One story I heard was that after a referee lost control of a game, as in play had halted and everyone was yelling at everyone else, that there were fights in the stands and people were arrested.
Hockey is something special in Canada, that's for sure
Booty Boy but... You guys are nice...
"""Special"""
To be fair though, every description I've ever heard from hockey fans always ends up with them defending violence as an important part of the game. They say things like "that's the reason you go, too watch the fights", making hockey the worst form of caveman trash in all of sportsball.
making canadians angry is a thing? i really want to watch one game now lmao
Its the one thing youre not polite aboot
Some people, usually its older people or kids, but there aren't many fights now. Its a dumb conversation and argument
What's with parents and the mentality that there kid is always the best? I don't remember my parents doing it much, but I remember my mom saying "I love you and I realize you tried your best, but god you suck." I think I was trying for American Football.
Mm
Gretzky retired with 1,963 assists to his 1,072 goals. I'm not a huge fan of hockey, but his is literally a legend. The movie Waking Up Walter is not only inspiring but heartbreaking at parts and worth the watch.
There’s a reason the entire NHL retired his number 99
Karl you should put green food dye into a clear water bottle. To mess with Brad.
Barry Chuckle just passed away 😢
Don't suppose we could get a video on the legends that were the Chuckle Brothers.
he said on twitter that IF he did do that it would be a couple months down the line as he doesnt want to capitalise on his death. which is understandable.
That's fair enough.
TaintedCrazy, and that's why I love this channel. I love Karl and Brad.
RIP a legend
Grey Seer Thanquol Who are the Chuckles brothers?
Typical Parent Logic:
"that kid is better than my kid, so it must be his fault!"
I remember being a tutor for twin siblings (brother and sister; maybe 8 years old) in the neighborhood. They are good basketball players and played together in the boys' team. They were above their age in skill; just through playing against each other and watching TH-cam. But they played in their age group in a school team since money was an issue. Boos from opposing players' parents/crowds were one thing and it fueled them to play better; so that wasn't a big concern. But they, and the siblings' parents, couldn't deal with "stage parents" within their team. It wasn't every parent but it's enough to be concerning. They would accost the siblings of their kids' mistakes. Some of their teammates didn't want their parents doing what they did; as they are friends. But others were complicit. You don't have to be dominant like Gretzky, even a modicum of talent is enough fuel for these crazy people. The parents, and the complicit kids, were so narrow minded that they were willing to play for their position on the team (if they win the siblings go and if they lose they go). Needless to say, they lost. But the stage parents leveraged their PA position to create a 2nd team in the school that dissolved because of infighting. I wonder why 🤷
We had a problem with terrible sports parents for a long time in my town. It eventually got to the point where the sports center hired secure guards who's sole purpose was to keep out banned parents out during games and even practice. I still remember the day when a pair of parents where actually arrested for their HORRIBLE behavior. They would bring MEGAPHONES to the f'ing games and call out specific kids who they particularly did not like and when they eventually got banned, snuck into games to harras the kids before and after games/practices. It all came to a head when the mother brought fucking ROCKS to a game and they both started throwing them at the other team, on live television no less (this was basically the championship game for the season in my town). Needless to say, they both got arrested and their son and daughter were adopted by another family.
For those interested the video they reference is the James blunt one that has been made private if you find the link for it nowadays. Would be nice if they released that snippet separately. Until then I’m in the dark
It's because he's vampire
Ha I get it
It’s the room video
Wayne is vampire
Maybe you are vampire.
He does own a flying Mercedes...
i misread the title as
"that time parents _time travelled_ just to boo wayne gretzky"
and i'm like oh shit, has time travel been invented already??
Not yet, but the people from the future sure as hell hate Wayne
Same
Plus, when he was a pro, there was always someone on his forward line that would punish anyone who touched "The Great One".
Ahh cement-head and McSorley
I’m not salty over the fact the story wasn’t finished, I am salty that the original video seems to be private
Really that’s really Annoying

My cousin played hockey against him as a kid, he says that Gretzky walked into the arena wearing a yellow rain coat and they teased him. My cousins coach told everyone to stay on him, but even with 5 guys on him, he still scored 5 goals that game. I’ve also met Walter, Wayne’s dad, twice at the Walter Gretzky tournament in Brantford(close to Toronto). Super nice guy but I don’t think he has much time left
My last year in 10-12 year old Little League baseball, my team drafted up a 9 year old, who was the fastest, best hitter, and had the biggest arm on the team, by a wide margin. I thought it was awesome. No one ever booed him that I know of, but if they had, I would've been very angry.
Man, this story reminds me that parents are arses at times. I don’t know which ones are worse. The ones who act like arses during children’s sports or the ones who thinks an iPad/phone with an internet connection can teach their kids everything?
Its a tough choice between the two to be honest, one is constantly on the kids back, never lets up the pressure and no matter what they do, it isn't good enough leading to complexes later in life or growing up to resent their parents. The other is straight up neglectful and makes you wonder why they even had kids in the first place.
I went to school with a kid who was kind of like the anti-Gretzky. He was an all-right player, but thought he was king shit on skates. Just an obnoxious little shit heel on and off the ice, and the parents hated him because he used to cheap shot kids all the time. A friend of mine who played on the same team as him (and hated him with a passion) just goes out and just destroys him with a body check during the middle of a game, and everyone in the friggin building started to cheer. It was freakin hilarious!
gretzky is legit one of the most wholesome and kind people in all of sport.
I like how at 8:50 ish brad turns into a robot
Maybe he is vampire.
WOT!
Everyone in the comment section wish they had a time machine to yell or beat up the parents booing
eye well I live in his hometown and while it’s like 50 years after, screw the time machine, the people in this city are STILL retarded.
Y'all thought soccer moms were bad, but you've never seen a hockey mom before!
(Disclaimer: many and most hockey parents are great folks but there are some who are supreme assholes who are way too competitive on behalf of their child)
Sports parents in general seem to have more assholes than other children’s hobbies
Hockey moms are the fucking worst
Rugby mums as well
when i did pewee hocky parents would cuss me out because i would help others get up off of the ice , to be fair i would help anyone up even those on thee other teams
Yumi you seem like one of these arseholes
As soon as you said "I hate hearing rumors", I suddenly remembered hearing this before. It reminds me of when a friend of mine tells a story and it gets a laugh. Then a month later tells the same story to everyone again, but with a couple new people, so the majority of people have to hear it again, knowing the punchline, for the benefit of other people.
Oh no, I didn't say that it's a problem, I'm fine with it. I'm just saying it's funny how many times I can hear the same story. Also everyone that's heard it before are in on the joke.
Wayne Gretzky and his brother Brent hold the sibling scoring record of the NHL still. Brent only played 13 NHL games and had a total of 4 points (1 goal, 3 assists).
My uncles both played against him back in his teens and yeah, he really was that good.
That's hilarious that those older kids tried to smash into him because they were jealous of his skills and they only made him more powerful 😂
The ending of the story... "That's not what I've heard"
I thank you
You are a saint, so you no what vid it’s from?
HawireHarpy681 if he could answer that I'd be very pleased to see more fact fiend plus the full story (ignoring the fact X said it...)
MikeMine2002 I guess you will just have to watch every single video to find out witch one it is in then....
X thank you
When a bunch of grown-ass people are less mature than a 6 year-old
My entire basketball team was kicked out of 3 different leagues of children our own age for being too good and yes we certainly felt the other parents resentment (a few were complimentary). We had to play against guys twice our size...and naturally got our asses kicked most times but also held our own quite well at times. We eventually found a league that provided enough of a challenge.
Wayne Gretzky is great, but his dad Walter was awesome... after Wayne left Canada for Los Angeles his dad did a awful lot of fundraising and donating to kids hockey programs across Ontario and Canada.
Walter Gretzky was the great one.
If just one of the other kids' parents had the decency to tell their kid to look out for Gretzky, imagine the bragging rights that guy would have had for the last 40 years. "Yeah, Wayne Gretzky was on my peewee team. Everybody f'd with him, and he was only 6 years old, so I became his enforcer."
“Like a greased salmon”
Last time I came this early I was disappointing the missus
They've done testing on Wayne Gretzky and his reflexes are actually faster than the norm. Which is why he's described as thinking several steps ahead by players - he legitimately was faster. He is truly the result of natural talent and dedication to hard work. It'd be interested to know how good he'd have been with just the work ethic and not the natural talent.
Did you put a green screen in front of a green screen? 😂
They green screen the old one as the background
They got a new green screen, that fills up the background, but said it would mess with the continuity of the videos. So they project the old backdrop onto the new green screen. 😭😭😭
Nathan-DTS Well, I saw the very end of the video, and they did put up the old one in front of the new one now. 😭😭😭
Yeah, got a problem with it?
Crystal-Adair SnapsAndSings yes, but in this video, it's actually the old green screen put in front of the new one. That's dedication.
Best endings ever.
I can KINDA understand the parents' salt, something along the lines of "you ruined my kid's chances at the majors, I'll ruin yours".
But the extent the took it to was just short of psychotic.
I'm actually from the town that gretzky was born and raised in.. and I always wondered why he never cared for the place. But after this video I don't blame him in the slightest. Parents are just awful sometimes.
A great video about The Great One! What more could I ask for?
you can hear brad's expression during the pauses of silence
To be fair, by the time he was playing in the NHL, he was 6 feet tall, 185 lbs. (perhaps a fair bit lighter at the start, bulked up more later) , and while that isn't gigantic, he was at least close to average for a player of that era. True, today that would be considered on the smaller side, but 30 years ago, not necessarily.
But yeah, as a ten-year old, in one single season, he scored 378 goals and 139 assists for a total of 517 points. *IN ONE SEASON* .
Also should be noted that he got the nickname "The great one" at 10 years old. Imagine people saying you were better than your hero who was the best player in the NHL for 35 years at that point, before you were even a teenager.
The end of the ‘rumors’ post was a guy responded to her post in less than a minute saying “That’s not what I’ve heard”
You are my hero.
this video is close to my heart because i threw up with it playing on my birthday 🥰 I know some things are better left unspoken but it’s still nostalgic cheers
Haha...I like how the green screen has green screen behind it. Keep up the good work boys!
I know someone with a prosthetic leg and when he played baseball he had his prosthetic on the base and caught the ball, but the coach from the other team tried to argue that his player wasn’t out because there wasn’t a “foot” on the base
fun fact. the jersey makers in the NHL had 2 logos on the jersey tail of Gretzky's (one on each side) because of how he tucked his jersey in you usually wouldn't see it.
I have a new love for Gretzky now
"That's not what I've heard."
Bahahaha, that meta-ending... You sir, are a legend in your own right.
Absolutely love Ice hockey, watching the EIHL in Britain. He's an inspiration.
this is the greatest channel i've ever found, how come i haven't seen it before?!?!?!
Content m8 you’ll get sucked into the void of fact fiend videos, also whenever I find a new channel I usually get bored but this is the first channel that I’ve never gotten bored of
I can totally believe this. I remember when I was playing pee-wee hockey, I dropped from tier 1 to go on my dad's tier 3 hockey team. Didn't bother me much since we had a bunch of tier 1 players that my dad scrounged up so we had a pretty good team. Anyways, the Tier 1 skills competition and tournament came up and our team got in since one of the teams from the US couldn't make it. Myself and some of the other top players were selected for the skills tournament. We went against the top tier 1 team in the city and knocked them out of the first round and I still remember the father of one of the kids on the tier 1 team saying to his son how embarrassing it was to watch him lose to a tier 3 team in front of the scouts. I heard that walking off the ice so for sure people in stands heard that too. I'm glad I never had that kind of pressure growing up in hockey. That came later on in the season when some scouts called my name up because they heard of that tournament in the local paper and my name was in there. Then my parents told me the back story of my dad's cousins playing in the NHL. One of them even played with Gretzky on the WHA Oilers.
YOU GREEN SCREENED THE BORDERS IN THE GREEN SCREEN SEGMENT xD That's just… fucking amazing
So he was basically an ice hockey spartan
My parents just regularly Offered different sports to try out in hopes of me being less bad at it, I eventually picked up horseback riding but still am no sporty person (while my sister (bored at our brothers Socker practice) joined the boys team 2 years older and when league regulations didn't allow her to play in the boys team at 15 she joined the women's having to travel quite a bit future as female leagues are less dense) .
Gretzky's number has been retired across the entire league, he's the only player in the history of the NHL to have every team retire his number, let that sink in.
God tier trolling guys. Love it.
This is a story of staying true to yourself. Mad props.
This Channel deserves more subs. I've loved every video you 2 are hilarious I've been binging your videos for like the past 2 weeks
I'm here early for once!! Time to say something important:
Karl's single arm tattoo is more attractive to me than the entire Victoria's Secret Show
Im new to your channel and this shit is the most amazing batch of trivia thanks so much and keep it up!
I love that even the thumbnail has the green corners around it. I love your subtle fuck you’s Karl. Living the dream :D
While you were shiting you pants, i was honning my skills with the puck
I can believe all of this...I can remember watching people I knew who were hockey fans while watching a game and, say, their team was playing one Gretzky was on and anytime Gretzky got checked against the boards and there was, say, a penalty they would say something about him being a crybaby lol It was ridiculous, didn't matter the context or anything, he was simply the crybaby unless he was on your team and then he was the Great One.
Congrats on 200,000 subscribers
Imma be that guy.. what is the end to the story? At the very least tell me the vid with the story in it so I can get some closure.. I hate cliffhangers..
You know in a weird way this is very inspiring, he is objectively the best player and he went through this. I don't know if he knew he was the best but he liked it enough to keep doing what he loved even if everyone hated him for it. And he loved it enough to genuinely help his teammates be the best too. Mr. Rogers gives him a gold star, like he would to every human but Gretzky really earned his. 🤓
I love these videos, but it's starting to ruin my life. I don't need to know this but I can't stop.
Wayne Gretzky, The Goku of the hockey scene
Grew up not far from the Gretzkys (went to his Mom's funeral), much later moved to Edmonton, AB (where he is regarded as a God to this day)... Still love Bobby Orr more though.
I love how you still put in those corners. Its my favorite. Lol
So we have an award for most goals, and total points. There should be an award for most assists, and this awards name should obviously be called “The Gretzky Award”.
At the end I wasn’t even mad I just had a huge smile on my face
Well, I've just lost my faith in humanity. Thanks for that Karl
I almost feel dirty hitting the notification button but I have a plan that as soon as you upload to go into your vid and comment a warning that if anyone comments "first" I'll swab there urethra
I just finished viewing every last vide you posted even the robocop vide you are amazing
Karl, we all know it is vodka, you don’t have to hide it in a smart water bottle. Great video!
Steve curry 😂 he left Nike because someone said his name wrong 😂
8:52 rip, F in chat, mic died instantly.
I love how the ad bar at the bottom pops up exactly at the same moment the flavour text at the opening card appears AND at the exact place I can't read it.
Fucking great.
cool vid, havent watched it yet bc you posted it literally 1 minute ago but still, cool vid
suicidal.banana maybe is vampire?
Good thing I've watched the entire backlog of your channel, tangents and all. (post more tangents, Brad!)
Wow...
You really did up your greensreen game to the max :D
Wayne Gretzky unlocked ultra instinct at the age of 9
Cool video guys. I just found you today. Whoever the guy is on camera is a great commentator.
I was beaten by a 6 year old girl in cyclocross racing when I was 17. That was very embarrassing.
I just watched a video of yours last week because my sister sent me a link and I’ve been watching them since because they’re fucking awesome! So I’m not pissed you didn’t finish the story, I’ll just find out the end when I get to it. I am however pissed at those piece of shit parents for booing a little kid. They should be thanking whatever entity they believe in that little Wayne Gretzky didn’t turn psycho after their verbal abuse and start cutting throats in the parking lot with his skate blades.
Imagine being his dad. And now imagine the fucking restraint you would have to have to not beat every single one of the parents that boo'd him within an inch of their lives.
Dude thats fx#&ng dedication
There is a kid on my team who was much better than the rest of my team. And we loved it, there were some games where I would get 8 assists. Whenever I got the puck I would just hand it off to him and he does some magic shit and scores.
I don’t know what to do now??? I have seen all of your videos and I found you guys 1,5 weeks ago.
Idea for future content, because I can't find them anymore:
There were a series of videos that got a massive rise out of some people because it was promoting the "Ten-Ten" initiative or something along those lines. This boiled down to "You should do these things to live a greener life, and if you are the one or two people out of a group of ten that isn't enthused to do it, YOU GET BLOWN THE FUCK UP!"
...Apparently, people got somewhat up in arms about a school teacher blowing up children in her classroom who were lukewarm on going home and doing a recycling project.
The gretsky brothers have the highest joint points for two brothers in the nhl, Wayne with 2857 and his brother at 4. The next highest scorers have 2034 between them.
I was always average at sports growing up and my family wasn’t the type to demand me to be bumped in when there was other kids better suit for a play and if my family saw other parents booing the kid good at the game, they probably would have fought for the star player. Gotta help those star players so u can win
I love that you are using the old green screen with the rounded corners, in front of the new green screen.
