He first met Howe when he was 10 years old and described him as being &quot;Bigger and better than he had ever imagined.&quot; They faced each other once in a league game where veteran Howe's Hartford Whalers beat young Gretzky's Edmonton Oilers 4-0.Gretzky is also the first NHL player to get his No. 99 jersey retired. This speaks volumes of the impact he had and will continue to have on the sport of hockey.
