Sears Canada says it will carry a new line of Wayne Gretzky menswear in an exclusive partnership with the Canadian hockey star. The agreement was announced as Sears Canada held its annual shareholder meeting in Toronto.

In a release, the company described the line as "casual menswear" that can be"worn from the office to dinner, from the arena to the caf."

It's not the first time the retired NHL player and coach has signed his name to a line of clothing.

Hudson's Bay Co. previously carried a line of mens casual wear but that was discontinued about 10 years ago, and the Roots clothing company had a more sports-oriented clothing with sweatshirts, T-shirts and tuques.
