I saw Gretzky's first ever NHL game in Winnipeg. He would have been 18 at the time. He played terrible and the Winnipeg fans were chanting "Superstar" and taunting him, as Gretzky came with a lot of hype of course. I remember thinking that maybe the hype wasn't warranted. I probably was wrong about that....:)

EDIT:

I looked it up - Dec 7, 1979. The Jets won 8-3.

I saw Gretzky in the fall of 1978 as a 17 year old Indianapolis Racer when the Jets were in the WHA at the Old Barn on Maroons Road. No one knew at the time the kind of player he'd become back then. He was just this skinny kid trying to find his way with a bad team. Lots of hype back then too.
