Hockey Canada's Yzerman plans to call Gretzky soon








DETROIT (AP) — Hockey Canada executive director and Detroit Red Wings vice president Steve Yzerman plans to call Wayne Gretzky to find out his plans for the future.
Yzerman said in a phone interview Saturday that he has been in contact with Gretzky to talk about his experiences at the Olympics.
Gretzky resigned Thursday as the coach and director of hockey operations for the financially struggling Phoenix Coyotes. He led Hockey Canada during the previous two Olympics.
Yzerman was appointed last year to take over for Gretzky as Canada gears up for a bid to win men's hockey gold at the 2010 Vancouver Games.

Gretzky was a great hockey player, a great ambassador for the game and would be a great inspiration for anyone in the dressing room------------------as long as he doesn`t try to coach !!! Very few great players can coach others------and Gretzky ain`t one of them !! Yzerman is a brilliant hockey man, I`m sure he`ll find something for a huge asset like Gretzky.
