Gretzky (album)

Gretzky is the debut full-length album by Canadian instrumental progressive metal band Electro Quarterstaff. It is named after hockey legend Wayne Gretzky^[1] and follows the trend of the band naming their releases as the last name of a male celebrity – a trend that had begun on their first EP, Swayze (named for Patrick Swayze); it continued with the release of their second LP, Aykroyd.
