Former Montreal Canadiens great Dickie Moore died Saturday. He was 84.
Moore, a noted playmaker in the 1950s, won six Stanley Cup titles with the Canadiens. That included five in consecutive years.
Moore also won the Art Ross Trophy twice from 1956-60.
“Dickie Moore was a player of great skill and even greater heart, someone admired on the ice for his will to win and adored in the community for his commitment to good deeds,” commissioner Garry Bettman said in a statement. “A six-time Stanley Cup winner and two-time scoring champion, Dickie Moore refused to let injuries stop him from reaching remarkable heights of success.
“As we mourn his passing, the National Hockey League family sends our deepest condolences to his family and his many friends inside and outside of the game.”
Moore established an NHL mark with 96 points in 70 games in the 1958-59 season. He also led the league with 84 points in 1957-58. He accumulated 594 points in 12 seasons with Montreal. He is third among left wingers on the team’s all-time list in goals (254) and points.
