Dhameystir weedha soo socota: Bishii Agoosto 9, 1988, oo ah talaabo si wayn u bedeshay dhaqdhaqaaqa NHL, Oilers waxay Gretzky (oo ay weheliyaan Marty McSorley iyo Mike Krushelnyski) u beddeleen Los Angeles Kings si ay ugu beddelaan Jimmy Carson, Martin Gelinas, $ 15 milyan oo lacag caddaan ah iyo
1989 (Jason Miller), 1991 (Martin Rucinsky) iyo 1993 (Nick Stajduhar). "Ganacsiga", sida loo yaqaanay, waxay ka xanaajiyeen dadka reer Kanada illaa heerka hoggaamiyaha New Democratic Party House Nelson Riis uu dalbaday in dowladda ay joojiso Peter Pocklington ayaa la gubay. Gretzky laftiisa waxaa loo tixgeliyey inuu yahay "khaa'in" qaar ka mid ah dadka reer Kanada oo u jeestay magaaladiisii la korsaday, gobolkiisii hooyo iyo waddankiisii hooyo; dhiirrigelintiisa ayaa si ballaaran loogu xaman jiray inay tahay horumarinta xirfadda waxqabadka xaaskiisa. Kuwa kale waxay aaminsan yihiin in uu ahaa Pocklington kii bilaabay ganacsiga, isaga oo raadinaya inuu si shaqsi ah uga faa'iideysto macaamilka.
