Number 99 on The National

He may be the Great One, but there was Wayne Gretzky, shopping alone in the mall beneath a Vancouver hotel on Saturday morning, just checking the storefronts for bargains, like the rest of us mere mortals.
It was good to see, because we're so used to seeing hockey's greatest goal scorer being mobbed or surrounded with security. Here he was, just being Wayne, all by himself.
Half an hour later, the two of us were sitting down for this upcoming weekend's "One on One" broadcast. The interview is pretty wide-ranging - about him, about hockey, and about handling stardom, which is particularly interesting, coming as it does after we had both watched Tiger Woods' statement last Friday.
Please note: You can watch the full-length interview with Wayne Gretzky on Mansbridge One on One on Saturday, February 27 at 6:30 and 9:30 pm ET on CBC News Network.
