OpenText Enterprise World 2017 welcomes hockey legend
Wayne Gretzky on stage for a
Fireside Chat with OpenText CEO and CTO Mark Barrenechea. Gretzky is widely considered
to be the greatest hockey player of all-time. The legendary player
holds or shares 61 NHL records and is the only player in the
history of the NHL to have his jersey number retired by all member
clubs. Seven months after he retired, Gretzky was inducted into the
Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto,
Canada, becoming the tenth and final player in Hockey Hall
of Fame history to have the mandatory three-year waiting period for
enshrinement waived by the Hall's board of directors. Gretzky will
discuss his career and what drove him to success.
