  • Summary

  • Once hailed as a national hero, Wayne Gretzky is now facing a wave of disappointment from Canadian fans, especially in his hometown of Brantford. Critics point to his lack of community involvement and his support for Donald Trump as reasons for the growing disillusionment. Many contrast Wayne with his late father, Walter Gretzky, whose charity work and approachability made him a beloved figure. Some are even calling for drastic measures, like renaming "Wayne Gretzky Drive" in Edmonton or unretiring his iconic jersey number. While a few defend his personal choices, the sentiment of betrayal over his perceived abandonment of his Canadian and Ukrainian roots is hard to ignore.
