From a prepubescent age, as early as age 9, Gretzky was nicknamed the next hockey messiah as he made his ascent toward a professional career in the National Hockey League. It was one in which he targeted idol Gordie Howeâs longtime records.
This problem did not materialize, because for the second straight year the WHA/NHL merger talks failed to produce results, and the WHA was back on for 1978-79. Gretzky played just 8 games for the Racers before the team, in financial trouble, sold his contract to the Edmonton Oilers.
