The Aug. 9, 1988 megatrade that sent Wayne Gretzky from the Edmonton Oilers to the Los Angeles Kings is often cited as the beginning of pro hockey's acceptance in the southern United States.

Gretzky never won a Cup after leaving the Oilers, but he did embark on a hockey Odyssey that would see him (in no particular order) suit up for three more NHL teams, play for and manage the Canadian Olympic team, coach in the NHL, buy into teams in both the NHL and CFL, and join the Hockey Hall of Fame.
