“Wayne Gretzky says women's involvement in All-Star Game 'a big step forward'“:
Wayne Gretzky called the involvement of women's hockey players in the NHL All-Star Game "a big step forward" in growing the sport -- and he hopes the league will continue to stay committed to the women's game.
"Exposure is everything," Gretzky told ESPN on Friday, ahead of the inaugural 3-on-3 women's exhibition at NHL All-Star Weekend.
