GSP on Wayne Gretzky being his favorite hockey player

Georges St-Pierre's favorite hockey player of all time is Wayne Gretzky, and the two have a lot in common. Both are considered among the greatest ever in their respective sports, both are from Canada, and both are very respectful, polite and widely loved across the world:

My favorite player of all time is Wayne Gretzky. Not only was he the best player in the world, but he is a true gentleman and a pioneer in the sport. He can talk well, and he seems like an intelligent guy. He's a good guy on the ice and off.
