Breaking: Wayne Gretzky to be announced as Vice-Chairman of NHL team today!

The rumors appear to have been true.

According to a report from Sportsnet insider John Shannon, National hockey League legend Wayne Gretzky will be named the Vice-Chairman of the Oilers Entertainment Group during a press conference today. The group is obviously headed by Oilers owner Daryl Katz and this position will in theory give Gretzky significant influence within the organization.

The Oilers did a terrific job of keeping this story under wraps by having Gretzky already announced for a statue unveiling on the same day, and as a result it's likely to be met with a great deal of excitement both in Edmonton and around the NHL.

After several years of bitterness between the NHL and Gretzky it's great to have him back within the ranks of the league in some capacity.
