This is great. It's being reported that Walter Gretzky is being named to the Order of Canada - which is pretty much the same as being knighted.
All for fathering Canada's greatest hockey player of all time. You have to love this.
Sure, sure, the official reasons are something like "contributions to youth hockey" or some shit, but everyone knows it's because his gene pool produced a player so monumentally great that even when he TRIED to tarnish his legacy by playing for St. Louis and the Rangers, he COULDN'T. Heck, even his wife making late night bets with Rick Tocchet couldn't diminish his shine, nor could coaching the abysmal Phoenix Coyotes. The man is the Teflon Don of Hockey.
And now, the guy behind the guy is getting knighted. Or Canadianed. Or whatever. Congrats, Walt!
