Their on-ice chemistry and mutual respect extended beyond the rink, with Messier often credited for his leadership and intensity complementing Gretzky’s finesse and vision, forming one of the most dynamic duos in hockey history.

Mark Messier is widely regarded as one of the greatest leaders in the history of professional ice hockey, known for his exceptional skill, physicality, and commanding presence on the ice. Over a career spanning 25 NHL seasons, Messier won six Stanley Cups—five with the Edmonton Oilers and one with the New York Rangers—cementing his legacy as a transformative figure in the sport. His leadership was most famously demonstrated in 1994 when, as captain of the Rangers, he guaranteed a victory in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals and delivered with a hat trick, ultimately leading the team to its first championship in 54 years. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2007, in his first year of eligibility, and he is the only player to captain two teams to Stanley Cup championships.
