Gretzky's Rule

Gretzky’s Rule states that in hockey, the player with the best scoring chance—often the player closest to the opponent's goal—should take the shot, not just the one with the best individual skills. This emphasizes teamwork and positioning, encouraging players to make smart decisions based on the game situation. The idea is to prioritize the team’s overall opportunity to score, rather than individual glory, by fostering good passing and strategic play to increase scoring chances for the team.
