TSNs award-winning news team rewinds to August 9, 1988 and captures unique stories surrounding Wayne Gretzkys blockbuster trade from Edmonton to Los Angeles with SPORTSCENTRE PRESENTS: THE TRADE AT 25. TSNs week-long series marks the 25th anniversary of The Trade that captivated a nation with five compelling features examining its social, cultural, and economic impact (see below for details). In addition to features led by respected sports journalists Michael Farber and Dave Naylor, SPORTSCENTRE PRESENTS: THE TRADE AT 25 also includes an original mash-up by DJ Steve Porter.

"We set out to create a different look at the Gretzky trade after 25 years and uncover unique stories," said Ken Volden, Vice-President and Executive Producer, News and Studio Production, TSN. "Between the celebrity factor, rumours, and emotion, The Trade was bigger than sports and made for a great palette for our producers to draw some great stories." SPORTSCENTRE PRESENTS: THE TRADE AT 25 includes the following features: GRETZKYS CHILDREN • Premieres: Monday, Aug. 5 during the 6 p.m. ET edition of SPORTSCENTRE• Hosted by: Michael Farber • Synopsis: Wayne Gretzkys trade to Los Angeles triggered expansion across the American Sunbelt. NHL franchises in non-traditional markets created youth development programs to help foster interest in the game. Twenty-five years later, some of those athletes are making an impact at the highest levels of sport, including Anaheim Ducks forward Emerson Etem and Pittsburgh Penguins forward Beau Bennett – both ex-roller hockey players from southern California.• Quote: "Hes helped and he doesnt even realize it…I think Beau [Bennett] can say the same thing. If it wasnt for Gretzky…maybe we wouldve been playing football – anything really couldve happened. I love the game of hockey and I wouldnt want it any other way." – Emerson Etem, Anaheim Ducks forward THE GRETZKY GOLD RUSH • Premieres: Tuesday, Aug. 6 during the 6 p.m. ET edition of SPORTSCENTRE• Hosted by: Dave Naylor• Synopsis: The Wayne Gretzky trade had an impact on hockey business well beyond Los Angeles and Edmonton. When Kings owner Bruce McNall ripped up Gretzkys Oilers contract to hand him a series of massive pay hikes, it helped send hockeys pay scale skyward and changed the business of the game forever.• Quote: "I remember clearly a lot of players thinking wow, Waynes going to get over a million dollars…it was over two million…everyone said what? I mean he helped every single player…because his contract was double what everyone was expecting." – Luc Robitaille, NHL Hall of Fame player and former teammate of Wayne Gretzky THE KID IN THE SHADOW• Premieres: Wednesday, Aug. 7 during the 6 p.m. ET edition of SPORTSCENTRE• Hosted by: Dave Naylor • Synopsis: This is the story of Jimmy Carson, the American-born player traded into a tight knit Oilers locker room as part of the Gretzky trade. THE KID IN THE SHADOW examines how Carson coped with living up to the unattainable expectations of replacing a living legend – and how these expectations led to his eventual exit from Edmonton only a year after The Trade. • Quote: "It was a situation where I was the symbol of the angst of why the hell did we just get rid of Wayne Gretzky? Arguably the greatest player of all time…" – Jimmy Carson DJ STEVE PORTER: "I PROMISED MESS"• Premieres: Thursday, Aug. 8 during the 6 p.m. ET edition of SPORTSCENTRE• Synopsis: The award-winning DJ Steve Porter debuts his latest sports mash-up, which transforms old news footage about the Wayne Gretzky trade into a remix, centering on the infamous press conference at which Gretzky says, "I promised Mess I wouldnt do this."

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- The strain of fighting against Lewis Hamilton for the past three years will have sapped the strength of Formula One champion Nico Rosberg.That verdict comes from a man who knows Rosberg better than most -- his father Keke Rosberg, the 1982 F1 champion.He has a lot of seasons behind him and Im sure that, especially, the last three seasons have taken a high toll, Keke Rosberg said in the F1 paddock at Abu Dhabi where his son clinched his first title on Sunday after being runner-up to Hamilton in the previous two years.Theyve been very hard seasons, because youre fighting for the championship for three years in a row, constantly, Keke Rosberg said. Its much tougher than trying to finish sixth. I dont know how much its taken out of him.Asked what he thinks his son will do next, the 67-year-old Keke Rosberg joked maybe he retires tomorrow.Actually, he expects his son to continue for a few more years yet.Theres quite a lot of mileage left in him, he said.Next season promises to be an intense battle as Rosberg defends his title and Hamilton tries to wrest it back. Furthermore, the 19-year-old Red Bull driver Max Verstappen will be pushing them hard, as will four-time F1 champion Sebastian Vettel -- whose Ferrari team ended the season without a race win.If you dont raise your game, you freeze ... You have a lot of talented people here who put in a big effort, Keke Rosberg said as he stood outside the Mercedes motorhome.The level is always high in Formula One. Look at Max, he is the teammate of (Daniel) Ricciardo. Or Sebastian, he is the teammate of (Kimi) Raikkonen, he continued. On that level, when you take the top three teams, all of them have been world champions already, or at Red Bull theyre all young talents. Thats the level we have.The hallmark of Rosbergs title-winning campaign was a steely resolve under Hamiltons pressure, allied to high levels of consistenncy.ddddddddddddYou never have a 100 percent season. Youre not going to win all the races. Its a bit like golf, Keke Rosberg said. When you hit the ball behind the tree, you have to recover from there. So even on a bad day, a golf pro plays a bad shot and recovers. Thats the difference. Its the performance on a bad day, those points count.He was partly speaking from his own experience, having won the 1982 title despite winning only one of the 15 races that season.Seeing his son win the title as the sun was setting in Abu Dhabi on Sunday evening was a strange feeling for Keke Rosberg.After the last two laps I was quite relieved, to be honest, Keke Rosberg said. I was a little bit nervous.Father and son were different kinds of drivers in different eras.Rosberg Sr. was a dashing driver who loved to bash his car around the track in an occasionally reckless manner, while Rosberg Jr. is far more meticulous and methodical.But the mutual admiration shines through.For me its the story of father and a son, purely. I could have been a dentist, makes no difference, Keke Rosberg said. Im happy for my son and thats it. What I did is so long ago. It was a happy time, but it doesnt carry you 30 years after.Keke Rosberg secured his title driving for the Williams team yet only won five races in his career, while 31-year-old Nico Rosberg already has 23 wins -- albeit in an ultra-dominant Mercedes car.He is (a champion). He is standing on his own two feet. Dont forget, I did like 114 Grand Prix in my life and hes now done 200 or something, Keke Rosberg said.So his level of experience and knowledge of the sport is so much higher than mine was. Also engineering, they are so much deeper in there than we were, its like a completely different world.We knew we had four wheels and thats it. ' ' '
