I believe the guy on the right is Eddie Mio, former Oiler goalie.

The guy between him and Gretzky is Kevin from The Office.

I don't know who the other guy is.

The blond guy seems vaguely familiar but I cannot remember the name. The guy on the left is Johnny Larue.

What the hell kind of tie is Gretzky wearing? It looks like one of those double ties from Back To The Future

The guy on the left is Doctor Ron Torcolson, Proctologist to the stars, well known for his enormous fingers and gentle laugh, he's been the butt doctor to such stars as Gretzky, Pee Wee Herman, Susan St James and Herve Villadude the little guy from fantasy island. He would suffer a stunning fall from grace in the 90's as he accidentally left a ring up in Robin Leach's nether regions and was humiliated on life styles of the Rich and famous

The guy in the red coat, that's Super Mongo, security guy to the Stars, know for speaking in simple words and riding an ox with the words yes and no branded on its butt, Mongo terrorized the west for the governor of California and the Railroad company until he was fired for helping the town of Rock Ridge.

The guy with the stash is infamous 70's porn star Rock Hardaway, a major film star known for acting with the most glamous woman of the 70's and 80's porn industry, his guns started firing blanks after filming his 1000's movie and was last scene making money by going to poorly attended "Best of the Male Pornstars" conventions and telling everyone at one time that he was the best in the business.

Looks to be a partially untied bow tie.

The guy on the left looks like he was in a Seinfeld episode. The other guy in the red suit looks like he was in the Office. I'd say Wayne lost a bet and they cut his tie. The guy on the right is definitely Eddie Mio. Why are we trying to ID these guys anyways?

The guy on the far left is clearly a young Don Blankenship:

Tie is tucked in to the pants, as was the style in the day, for a month anyways, in Edmonton. Mio was brought along with Gretzky from Indianapolis when Skalbania was in the mix. Definitely a meet and greet to drum up support for the Oilers and they emerge from the WHA.

The guy on far left just screams of a car dealer, when owning a car dealership was more of a prestigious position in a city.
