Gretzky speaks out on sticks and visors TORONTO (AP) _ Even with two high-profile attacks, Wayne Gretzky doesn't see stick fouls getting out of control in the NHL. After Scott Niedermayer's hit to the helmet of Florida's Peter Worrell and the two-handed swing Gretzky's former teammate Marty McSorley landed on the temple of Donald Brashear, hockey has again showed its dark side. Niedermayer faces disciplinary action on Tuesday for hitting the forward on the helmet on Sunday night, while McSorley has been charged with assault with a weapon after clubbing an unsuspecting Brashear on Feb. 21. Although Gretzky acknowledged these things occur every year, they are not commonplace in the NHL. ``I don't think it's something that happens all the time,'' said Gretzky, who retired following last season. ``It's an occurrence that periodically happens because of the pressure. The NHL does a good job of curtailing it.'' Gretzky appeared at a Toronto hospital Monday to donate a robotic device that helps children link up to school classes while undergoing dialysis treatment. He is donating $1 from every purchase of his new clothing line to the project. The NHL's career scoring leader said he is nervous about the future of McSorley, who gained fame as Gretzky's bodyguard with Edmonton and Los Angeles. McSorley was suspended for the rest of this season and will appear in court on criminal charges on April 4. ``I don't know what to expect,'' Gretzky said. ``Nobody likes a scene like that. He got punished. Unfortunately for Marty, he has to go through a tougher situation, which is a trial. He's not the first person to do something like that and he's not the last.'' Gretzky does advocate making visors mandatory in the NHL in light of the serious eye injury to Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Bryan Berard on March 11. ``My stance is similar to every other parent whose kids play hockey,'' Gretzky said. ``There's absolutely no reason to take it off. ``I believe they should leave their visors on. These kids play years and years with visors and there's no reason they should take them off. Eventually, you'll see every player wearing a visor.''
