Richard Winston "Dickie" Moore (born January 6, 1931 in Montreal , Québec ; † December 19, 2015 ibid) was a Canadian ice hockey player who played for the Montréal Canadiens , Toronto Maple Leafs and St. Louis Blues in the National from 1951 to 1968 Hockey League played.

Career

Moore grew up in Montreal with seven brothers in a working class family and played for the Juniors of the Montréal Canadiens . When he was supposed to join the Canadiens NHL team in 1951, he received an offer for the minimum of $ 7,000, which disappointed him very much. He refused and for the first time showed his very pronounced stubbornness. The Canadiens added $ 2,000 for Christmas, and Moore made his debut. He was plagued by injuries not only during his career but also before. As a child, he was hit by a car and bitten in the lip by a dog. He broke both of his legs, and with knee problems, many doubted he would ever be able to play ice hockey professionally. He broke his collarbone twice in his career , had various knee operations and played with a broken wrist for the last three months of the 1957/58 season . He was one of the best team players in the great days of the Montreal Canadiens and won five cups in a row from 1956 to 1960 after his first Stanley Cup in 1953. When he was 32, Montreal manager Frank Selke brought him into his office to talk to him about a move. Moore refused and ended his career. Even when they tried to persuade him to return for the playoffs a year later, he did not want to and played 38 times for Toronto a year later. After another two year break, he helped the Blues at the end of the season and now brought it to 14 points in the playoffs with rested knees.

In 1974 he was honored with the induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame .
