From Edmonton to LA, LA to St. Louis, and St. Louis to New York, the journey of Wayne Gretzky’s legendary NHL career has always had the inevitable last stop of the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. After blessing hockey fans across the league with twenty years of greatness on ice, Gretzky finally closed up shop after skating in his final NHL game for the New York Rangers against the Pittsburgh Penguins on April 18, 1999. While most players typically wait the required time of 3 years post-retirement to be inducted into the HHOF, #99 was granted an exception by the committee and was inducted within the HHOF Class of 1999, fitting for the man who electrified the sport for two decades with that iconic # on his back.

This Hockey Hall of Fame plaque is autographed by Wayne Gretzky. Gretzky’s signature was witnessed by an Upper Deck representative as part of UDA’s 5-step authentication process. This item is not limited.
