Hockey Canada Wants Gretzky

from Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun,
Hockey Canada president Bob Nicholson revealed yesterday that he and The Great One are in discussions concerning Gretzky’s inclusion—and potential role—on the 2010 Canadian Olympic team, which will be under the omnipresent spotlight at the Vancouver Winter Games….
The options are open for Gretzky. He might be brought in to run the show for a third consecutive time if his coaching commitments with the Coyotes do not interfere. Maybe he could take over the coaching reigns from Pat Quinn, who coached the two previous Canadian Olympic teams. Or, he might serve as a consultant to a managerial team that could include the likes of Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland, assistant Steve Yzerman and coach Mike Babcock.
However it plays out, Gretzky is badly wanted.
