Which NHL team did Wayne Gretzky coach?

Wayne Gretzky coached the Phoenix Coyotes. He became the franchise's head coach in 2005 and remained behind the bench through the 2008–09 season.

The appointment was notable because Gretzky had never previously coached at any level of hockey. He was already one of the game's most influential figures, having won four Stanley Cups with the Edmonton Oilers and later helped grow hockey's profile in Los Angeles with the Kings.

Gretzky coached 328 regular-season games for Phoenix, finishing with 143 wins, 161 losses, and 24 overtime losses. He stepped down in September 2009 after the franchise entered bankruptcy proceedings. The team was later known as the Arizona Coyotes, which can cause confusion when modern sources describe the same franchise and coaching record.
