Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to remember Joey Moss, an Edmonton legend who sadly passed away yesterday. Joey was a fixture in the dressing rooms of the Edmonton Oilers and the Edmonton football team. He sang O Canada proudly from the stands of the game, inspiring others to join along.
Joey was as much loved and respected by Edmonton's hockey community as the players themselves, though he always remained modest and humble. He also did much to help our community. During his 35-year tenure with the Edmonton Oilers and the Edmonton football team, he was presented with an NHL all-star award and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal. He was also inducted into the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame. He leaves a big legacy with his kindness and dedication to our community, as we continue to recognize the contributions people with developmental disabilities make to our society, thanks to Joey's passion.
My thoughts today are with Joey's family, friends and the entire Edmonton sports community.
