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.

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.

Sears says its Gretzky lineup will feature knit tops, pants and sports jackets suitable for the office or after work.
