Wayne Gretzky by the furthest distance There is. Nobody comes close to that man.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

Patrick Cote

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Arjan Bhullar obviously.

 

[Kalmah]

Honestly, GSP was probably the best "athlete" outside of other freak athletes who aren't popular or known.

Gretzky is our most well known or greatest sports icon but he had a bad habit of eating hot dogs and drinking coca colas on the bench between periods lol.

That would be like GSP havin a smoke and a raw dogging some Montreal hoor between rounds. Just not something a great "athelete" would do.

Terry Fox definitely deserves an honourable mention for anyone who hasn't heard about him before.

He lost a leg to cancer and ran 5,373 kilometres/3,339 miles in 143 days across Canada to raise money and awareness for cancer research.

Global Steve Nash? I don't think anyone outside Canada and the US would have any idea who he is...

Ben Johnson is more infamous.
