Dickie Moore (ice hockey)

Richard Winston Moore (January 6, 1931 – December 19, 2015) was a Canadian professional hockey player, businessman and community philanthropist.

Moore spent most of his career with the Montreal Canadiens and came out of retirement twice to play briefly with the Toronto Maple Leafs and St. Louis Blues.

In the late 1940s Frank Selke Sr., the general manager of the Montreal Canadiens, called him Canada's best junior.

In 1957–58 Moore suffered a broken wrist in a collision with Detroit defenceman Marcel Pronovost which threatened to cut short a scoring championship year.

One night, when the Canadiens were travelling on the train, he asked for a meeting with coach Toe Blake and his linemates, Maurice and Henri Richard.

[3] At 37 years of age, he scored 14 points in the playoffs as the Blues made it to the Stanley Cup finals in their first season.

Following his retirement from hockey, Moore operated a successful equipment and tools rental business for construction in Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto.

[5] On August 27, 2006, Moore suffered neck, spine, and rib injuries when his car was hit by a truck in Montreal.
