The Man who Discovered Wayne Gretzky - Gus Badali (Part 2)
This week we sit back down with Hockey legend and Agent Extraordinaire Gus Badali for part two of our in depth exploration of his career.
If you haven't heard part 1, we recommend starting there. In this episode we focus more heavily on his relationship with Wayne, Walter, and Phyllis Gretzky which began all the way back when Wayne was only 15 years old.
He walks us through what it was like navigating a junior league which thought he was too small, an NHL which thought he was too young, and a WHA which thought he was too good to pass up!
We also have some time to talk about Gus Badali's influence on Mario Lemieux's now-famous draft day incident.
If you're unsure what that's all about, make sure you listen to the end!
