OTTAWA -- The walls of Charles Henry’s home in Ottawa are adorned with photos of famous hockey players. Most of those pictures feature Henry with Wayne or Walter Gretzky. "Walter Gretzky was to me maybe the best and most outstanding Canadian," said Henry. Henry was, for years, the general manager of the Hull Olympiques when Wayne Gretzky was owner. For years before that, though, the 'Great One' and his beloved dad Walter, were already like family to Henry. "He was an ambassador that we've been lucky to have. For all Canadians, I thank him today for being so good to us. And I thank him for being such a buddy of mine and a good friend," said the affable 82-year-old.
