Wayne Gretzky was introduced as the official ambassador for the NHL's Centennial Celebration Tuesday, and while speaking with reporters, he recalled a hilarious story about the time he and his son decided to go to the Hockey Hall of Fame incognito.

The two tried out one of the interactive games, and, after missing his first three shots, Gretzky was approached by an employee who wanted to offer him some advice.

"The young man who was taking care of the line walked over to me and said, 'Sir, if you move your hand down the stick a little bit farther,'" Gretzky said. "And I lifted my hat up and I said, 'Go get me one of those pucks that are in there, there are 802 of them.'”

Imagine the embarrassment after learning you just tried to give shooting tips to the Great One.
