His Toronto restaurant may have closed down in October, but Wayne Gretzky is still dishing out treats to his hard-core fans.

Wayne Gretzky's Toronto restaurant is auctioning off signed pieces of the eatery to benefit the Toronto Star Santa Claus Fund. 

The restaurant shut down for good in October 2020 to make way for condos, according to CP24, but there are still a few signed pieces of furniture up for grabs.

$400 Gretzky signed stool up for auction

The auction is open until December 20, but all of the items up for auction are already over $200 — including the signed bar stools.

But perhaps the marquee listing the restaurant's front door handles, which are actually made from a pair of old hockey skates.

They're by far the most expensive item up at the auction, going for $620 at the time of writing.

The money raised goes to the Toronto Star Santa Claus Fund, now in its 114th year, which gives gifts to underprivileged children in Toronto.

Gretzky's has operated at 99 Blue Jay Way in downtown Toronto since it first opened back in August 1993, said CP24.
