It seems hard to believe that’s been nearly 30 years since Wayne Gretzky scored his 802nd goal, surpassing Gordie Howe for the all-time NHL recod. Gretzky finished his career with 894 goals

Amazingly, if “The Great One” never scored an NHL goal he would still be the league’s all-time points leader (2,857 total points, second place is Jaromir Jagr with 1,921).

Just to review, The Fan Teaser comes courtesy of longtime buddy, Pat Schutte. The cropped photo below and the accompanying clue give you an idea as to who or what the image is of. We invite you to use the Comment option to take a crack at solving the Teaser and, if you’re so inclined, participate in some good-spirited banter with your fellow sports fans. The Fan Teaser will appear each Friday morning with the reveal coming to you Sunday.
