Description

Richard Winston Moore (January 6, 1931 – December 19, 2015) was a Canadian professional hockey player, businessman and community philanthropist. He won the Art Ross Trophy twice as the National Hockey League's leading scorer and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. 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 2017 he was named one of the '100 Greatest NHL Players' in history.

Career
Moore played with the Montreal Jr. Royals from 1947 to 1950. He played on two Memorial Cup winning teams, one with the Montreal Royals in 1949 and the Montreal Junior Canadiens the following year. In the late 1940s Frank Selke Sr., the general manager of the Montreal Canadiens, called him Canada's best junior. Moore made his NHL debut with the Canadiens in the middle of the 1951–52 season.

Moore was known for his hard accurate shot and his stickhandling. He twice won the Art Ross Trophy as the league's leading scorer. In 1958-59 he scored 41 goals and 55 assists for 96 points, breaking Gordie Howe's record of 95 total points in a regular season. He often played on a line with Henri Richard and Maurice Richard.

Moore won the Stanley Cup with the Canadiens for the first time in 1953 and five more times in a row from 1956 to 1960.
