Hi there, I'm Judy Croon. Welcome to another Episode of Laugh Long and Prosper – Shelf Help with a dash of humour when appropriate. I believe that humour is one of our best coping mechanisms-especially when we are facing stress and unknown times like Covid. Today is Monday. That’s means it’s time for 'Just Another Mindful Monday'. I’d like to call this particular episode Wayne Gretzky -What Hockey and Humour Have in Common. This past year, I signed up for the online learning course called Masterclass. Aaron Sorkin, Shondra Rhymes, Steve Martin, Rupaul, James Patterson, Spanx founder Sara Blakely, Malcolm Gladwell, Wolfgang Puck, Jon-Kabat Zin and Chris Hadfield were just some of the presenters who filled my head with hundreds of hours of information, ideas and inspiration. Then there was Wayne Gretzky. I knew Wayne was The Great One. Please, I’m Canadian. Hockey is part of our heritage. I was surprised by Wayne’s presentation because yes, he did speak about hockey but his takeaways could apply to anybody really. Even a comedian! The power of routine, practice, anticipation, goal setting, having a mentor, having various outside interests and hobbies, keeping your head in the game and perhaps, most importantly- the power of play. Creativity. The importance of not getting locked into structure and a system too early. The need for young players (and comedians) to just play, have fun and have the freedom to discover their own unique skill set. It is so obvious throughout the Great One’s Masterclass how much of an influence his dad, Walter had over him. Walter was a decent hockey player when he was younger. His wife was athletic. Wayne and his brothers and sister all played sports. Wayne said that every winter, his dad built a hockey rink in the back yard of their Brantford, Ontario home. The neighbor’s wanted to know why Walter’s backyard was so green every summer. I guess they thought he was using a secret pesticide or formula. Wayne said it probably just all the ice from the rink that melted in the spring! Every winter, Wayne said he loved skating on that ice from sun up to sundown and well into the dark. His passion and discipline helped him develop the skills that made him stand out in the sport at a very early age. He worked on his accuracy by firing hockey pucks at a picnic table lying on its side with circled targets. Wayne said he sharpened his shot as a kid quickly because he hated walking in the snow and getting his feet wet while retrieving the pucks from the neighbor’s lawn. Because Wayne’s skills developed so fast, he always ended up playing with older kids. In fact, when he was a boy, he would tuck in his oversized jersey so it would fit- a ritual that he continued into his professional life. Walter told him that because he was smaller than his older rivals, Wayne would have to to use his brain and skate with his ‘head up’ -to anticipate the play, as well as avoid injury. This is where Walter came up with a unique exercise for Wayne. As Wayne watched Hockey Night in Canada, Walter made him get a piece of paper and draw a rectangle. That rectangle represented the rink that Wayne was watching on tv. Then Walter told Wayne to watch where the puck was going and draw it on the paper without looking down. Afterwards, when Wayne looked down at the paper, he was able to see the patterns that the puck made during the game. He saw the areas that the puck went to most of the time. This later helped him develop a way to capitalize on those areas and helped him to score and set up many goals in the future. Wayne is famous for the quote, “I skate to where to puck is going to be. Not where it has been.” He followed the puck, not the players. He learned to anticipate the next play. Those hours and hours in front of the tv set following the path of the puck gave Wayne new ideas for scoring.
