Wayne Gretzky isn't dead. Not yet anyhow and hopefully not for a while
For a while he didn't have to, but then the NHL required the use of a helmet.
because he broke many records and is an outstanding hockey player. he ate 8 hotdogs while playing in a minor league hockey game, but he never panned out as a player
while on the l.a kings he wore his 99 number, before that he wore his 99 while playing for the Edmonton oilers in Canada. his first number was 11, when he was 10. after that his professional number has been 99.
Yes, Gretzky was very skinny, but had long arms. For that reason, as a kid he would go one size up in jerseys, to fit in the arms, and then tuck the jersey in on his left hand side, to keep it out of the way while he stickhandled. The habit carried over to professional hockey, where he did it in all but one WHA all star game. In that game, Gretzky was pulled aside by his idol, Gordie Howe, and Gordie made an impromptu hem on the side of the jersey for Gretzky so it was out of his way.

Pre-Law
Wayne Gretzky won a total of 10 Art Ross Trophies. He won seven consecutive scoring titles from 1980-81 to 1986-87 with the Edmonton Oilers, then three Trophies while playing for the Los Angeles Kings: 1989-90, 1990-91, and 1993-94.

When people refer to "Wayne" in connection with hockey, they are invariably talking about "Wayne Gretzky" aka "The Great One". Gretzky holds just about every scoring record in the NHL which he earned playing for the Edmonton Oilers (there is a statue of him in front of the arena in Edmonton), LA Kings and NY Rangers. He now owns the Phoenix Coyotes and also managed Team Canada to a gold medal (the first in 50 years) in the 2002 Winter Olympics. He also has a small stint with the St Louis Blues. His scoring records will likely never be touched. While players today struggle to get 50 goals and 100 points in a season. The "great-one" would have that many in a half a season. Wayne Gretzky! How could you not know that !?

Houdini did not even complete school he taught himself for while so college was doubtful.
While this is very subjective, I would have to say Sidney Crosby and/or Alex Ovechkin. And although he has been retired for a number of years, Wayne Gretzky continues to be one of the most recognizable players in the sport.
