Wayne Gretzky reveals the NHL record he believes will never be broken during New Heights podcast appearance
Wayne Gretzky reflects on his most cherished and potentially unbreakable record (Getty Images) H ockey legend Wayne Gretzky, often referred to as "The Great One," recently made a guest appearance on New Heights, the popular podcast hosted by NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce. During the episode, Gretzky reflected on the storied milestones of his illustrious NHL career and shared which of his records he believes is truly untouchable: scoring 50 goals in just 39 games. Wayne Gretzky's 50-in-39 feat is the one he cherishes most When asked about the most cherished record of his career, Gretzky didn't hesitate to point to the one that still amazes hockey fans over four decades later. 'If I had one record that I cherish the most. I think it's going to be hardest to break and what was I scored 50 goals in 39 games,' he told the Kelce brothers. — newheightshow (@newheightshow) That remarkable achievement came on December 30, 1981, when Gretzky scored five goals in a single game against the Philadelphia Flyers. It capped off a blazing start to his 1981-82 season, in which he went on to set an NHL record with 92 goals — still the highest total in a single season. Gretzky opened up about the emotional weight of that record-breaking night, recalling a candid moment with his roommate while heading to the arena. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 'So, I was driving to the rink with my roommate. I had 45 goals in 38 games. I was a little more edgy than normal heading into the arena and my buddy turned to me and he said 'Are you okay?'And I said, 'You know, I just thought of this, If I don't get 50 in 50 now, people are going to say I choked.'' What followed was a masterclass in goal scoring as Gretzky netted five in a single night, not only reaching but obliterating the revered 50-in-50 mark.

Even as modern legends like Alex Ovechkin rewrite the record books, Gretzky's 50-in-39 stands as a towering benchmark, and in his own words, it may remain 'the hardest to break' in NHL history.

Should NFL stars play Olympic flag football? Jason Kelce has a bold and old-school solution
As Olympic flag football talks taking the news headlines for its much-anticipated debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Games, a new debate has been ignited—one that's been simmering beneath the surface since the sport's inclusion. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Who exactly should represent the United States on this global stage: world-class NFL stars or battle-hardened professional flag football athletes? Jason Kelce has a solid idea. Jason Kelce's proposal to determine NFL players' Olympic worth is too bold to ignore The conversation took an unexpected twist thanks to former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, who floated a wild yet captivating idea during the latest New Heights podcast episode with his brother, Travis Kelce. His solution? A high-stakes, winner-take-all showdown between NFL players and elite flag football professionals. Inside the NFL Owner's Meeting + Gretzky on Ovechkin's Scoring Record, GOATs & NHL Playoffs | EP 141 "Let's just have a flag football team of NFL players play these guys and see if they can win," Kelce suggested. 'May the best team win... I think a coach that is familiar with flag football should select an NFL-represented team. And that team should just play this flag football team that's been playing for a long time and feels like they are the best at it and they don't need other guys. Then whoever wins (goes to the Olympics). " It's a proposal as simple as it is brilliant. At its core, it's more than just a game—it's a solution to a problem that doesn't yet have a clear answer. Should Olympic rosters favor experience in the flag football format or raw athleticism and name recognition from the NFL? Kelce's idea is tailor-made for drama. Picture a squad of NFL giants—freak athletes trained in the highest levels of American football—taking the field against flag football veterans who've spent their lives mastering the speed, finesse, and strategy required by the non-contact version of the game. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now While the NFL players might have the edge in physicality and agility, flag football isn't just tackle football without the hits. It demands different instincts, quicker decisions, and a mastery of spacing and evasion that even NFL pros might find disorienting. This hypothetical clash could deliver not just answers but entertainment gold. 'The Longest Yard' comparisons are unavoidable—except in this case, the underdogs are professionals in their own right, armed with experience and chemistry. Meanwhile, the NFL players would be the 'fish out of water,' navigating unfamiliar terrain where pure athletic dominance may not guarantee victory. Of course, one can't ignore the elephant in the room: injury risk. More practices, more reps, more exposure—all increase the chance of something going wrong for active NFL stars. But as Kelce implied, if they lose the qualifier, the issue becomes moot. They wouldn't be playing in the Olympics anyway. In a landscape where debates often stall over logistics and legacy, Jason Kelce's pitch provides a thrilling, competitive, and media-friendly path forward. The question is—will the powers that be dare to make it happen? Also Read:

Travis Kelce flaunts leaner frame after Super Bowl loss and offseason uncertainty
Travis Kelce (via Getty Images) Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is back in the news again—only this time, it's for his new physique, not his touchdown total. Three months following a disappointing Super Bowl 2025 loss and with talk of his NFL future, Travis Kelce made an appearance at a public event in New York City, appearing considerably leaner and more driven. Following Super Bowl disappointment, Travis Kelce redirects energies to fitness and unfinished business Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce appears leaner and rejuvenated as he vows to make a comeback season after a devastating Super Bowl loss. The 10-time Pro Bowler made an appearance at the Amazon Upfront Presentation at the Beacon Theatre, presented by MGM Studios, where he and his brother and co-host of his podcast, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, took the stage. Based on fan reports and stories shared on X (formerly Twitter), Travis Kelce is said to be down 25 pounds from his typical listed playing weight of 250 pounds—leaving him in the ballpark of 225. Despite a difficult postseason and a Super Bowl blowout 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Travis Kelce is not quite ready to retire his cleats yet. In a text to ESPN analyst Pat McAfee earlier this year, Kelce confirmed he would be back for a 13th NFL season, writing that he was 'coming back for sure' and looking to be in better shape than ever. 'I'm coming back for sure. Gonna try to get into the best shape I've been this offseason and get back to the mountaintop,' Kelce said to McAfee. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 'Got a real bad taste in my mouth with how I played in that last game and with how I got the guys ready for battle. I can't go out like that!!!!' If this really becomes Kelce's final season, he's looking to go out on top.' Last year was Kelce's least productive since 2015, with 97 receptions, 823 yards, and only three touchdowns. But the veteran tight end seems determined to change that, spending this offseason in training and rehab—some of which has contributed to his new, leaner physique. While Kelce has kept a mostly low-key public life since February, he still co-hosts the hit New Heights podcast with Jason Kelce. In non-sports circles, his romance with pop star Taylor Swift keeps enthusiasts abuzz as well. The two, who started dating in 2023, were seen recently enjoying an intimate Mother's Day lunch in Philadelphia—a first public appearance together in months. Also read: 'She never expected it': Taylor Swift reportedly feels Blake Lively drama is 'a huge blow' amid quiet mom With rumors of the offseason in his rearview and a reenergized attitude, Travis Kelce appears more intent than ever. Whether 2025 is the start of his last chapter or just the next, he's committed to going out on his own terms—strong, keen, and hungry to redeem himself.
