A hockey legend is making St. Louis his new home.
“The Athletic” reports that Wayne Gretzky has moved to St. Louis to be closer to his mother-in-law.
The former St. Louis Blue retired from the league in 1999 after 20 seasons. He still holds or shares 61 league records, including goals, assists and points.
Happy wife, happy life.
Wife wants to be closer to mom, so ya move.
A few years back he sold his California house in west LA.
Nice place, https://www.cbc.ca/life/home/how-the-great-one-lives-inside-gretzky-s-recently-sold-mansion-1.4074667
Most men are trying to move away from the MIL.
Considering his other primary choices are Ontario, California, and Arizona... he might be mostly moving away from Communism.
Gretsky is 60 so his MIL have to be in her 80s so maybe his wife wants to be close in the final years.
The fact that his house is in St Louis doesn't keep him chained there, St. Louis has an airport {two, I think} and he gets away from kalifornikator.
Even more people are moving away from Kalifornia
I'm doing the same thing tomorrow - from NH to FL, and couldn't be happier.
The Tom Brady of hockey. Saw him play in the NHL all star game in Hartford on a line with Mr Hockey (Gordie Howe).
St Louis gets labeled as a den of murder and corruption, but it has history, culture, tradition, sports, fine food and miles of quiet neighborhoods.
Like jumping out of the frying pan and in to the fire.
Saint Louis is famous for being crime ridden.
1) Move to crime capital St. Louis
2) Moved closer to mother-in-law
Which is crazier?.....
Gretzky gets lost in the hood
