With the U.S. presidential elections underway, NHL legend Wayne Gretzky and his family were seen attending a prominent Republican Party gathering hosted by Donald Trump. The event drew several high-profile guests, including tech mogul Elon Musk and pro golfer Bryson DeChambeau.
On Tuesday, Wayne Gretzky’s daughter Paulina shared a group photo from the event on her Instagram. In the picture, she posed with her brother Trevor, husband and pro golfer Dustin Johnson, and her parents, Janet and Wayne Gretzky.
Trevor sported a Dodgers sweatshirt and a red "Make America Great Again" hat, showing his support for Trump. Paulina wore a beige dress and Janet wore a black outfit. Dustin Johnson and Wayne Gretzky chose classic black evening suits for the occasion.
The star-studded gathering is reportedly being hosted at Mar-a-Lago, a private resort and club in Palm Beach, Florida. In the 1980s, Donald Trump purchased Mar-a-Lago and later turned it into a private club with membership options.
UFC President Dana White also attended the event. With tight security, including bomb-sniffing dogs and special access for VIPs, the event featured dinner and a small private gathering to watch election updates.
Wayne Gretzky congratulates former teammates on induction into Oilers Wall of Fame
Last week, NHL legend Wayne Gretzky congratulated his former Edmonton Oilers teammates Craig MacTavish and Randy Gregg on their induction into the Oilers Wall of Fame. The honor was celebrated at Rogers Place, where MacTavish and Gregg’s names were permanently added.
Gretzky shared a photo from the event on Instagram, expressing his pride in the two players who were key to the Oilers’ success. He wrote on his Instagram stories:
“Congratulations to Craig MacTavish and Randy Gregg!”
During the ceremony, Craig MacTavish shared his gratitude, saying he felt humbled by the recognition. He also spoke of his time with the Oilers and noted how the talent on the team pushed him to adapt and improve. MacTavish is a former Oilers captain and three-time Stanley Cup champion with the team.
Randy Gregg, who played for the Oilers from 1982 to 1990 and was part of all five championship seasons, also spoke about the honor. Now a practicing doctor, Gregg joked that he didn’t know where his five Stanley Cup rings were during the ceremony.
Former teammates Kevin Lowe, Lee Fogolin and Craig Simpson attended the event, which concluded with an on-ice tribute after the Oilers’ game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Oilers Wall of Fame, which began in 2022, continues to honor the franchise’s most influential players.
