The Swedish mobile game developer Gold Town Games is proud to announce that Wayne Gretzky has become the global ambassador for World Hockey Manager as well as an equity partner in Gold Town Games.

Wayne Gretzky said, “We really enjoy playing World Hockey Manager and I think the game has great potential to bring joy to hockey fans. I am looking forward to becoming the global ambassador and spreading knowledge about the game and the interest of ice hockey.”

“To collaborate with one of the greatest athletes in history is the beginning of a new chapter for Gold Town Games. It is a natural step in line with our vision, being a world leader in mobile sports manager games,” said Pär Hultgren, CEO of Gold Town Games.

For sports fans, Wayne Gretzky needs no further introduction. Nicknamed “The Great One”, he is considered to be the world’s best ice hockey player ever. Gretzky led the Edmonton Oilers to four Stanley Cup titles and still holds 61 individual NHL records, including the most goals and assists of all time. His classic number 99 jersey has been retired throughout the NHL. After his playing career, Gretzky continued as co-owner and head coach in the NHL and won Olympic gold as director of Canada’s national team.
