Fred Sasakamoose

Best neighbor ever. Truly a man of honour.

My heartfelt condolences to Fred's family. I'm pathway through listening to his beautiful voice narrating his autobiography. It's such a frank and deeply moving account. What a gift to the world. May his family be blessed by his memory.

To his much loved family and friends, my sincere condolences on his passing last year. His essence as a wonderful human being is so clear in his autobiography. I am humbled by his acceptance of all that came his way, good, bad or indifferent. His straightforward description when he felt had acted badly is something so few people are willing to stand up and own up to.

I wish I had met Fred and wish I'd been able to chat with him on Hockey Night in Canada. I sensed that he was a very special person and would have made a memorable interview. RIP

my heartfelt blessings to the beloved Freddie, Loretta and family. I was so honoured and humbled to work with Freddie in Chiefs and Champions. He called me, and kindly thanked me for getting "it right", when credited with the "slapshot" . He said we "made him a star". He is a star, in the sky, on the ice and forever in our hearts. aho .

A terrific player and role model, he will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved him. What a player!

As a young teenager growing up in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, I recall the name of Fred playing hockey for the Moose Jaw Canucks same team as my brother Norman Johnson. Do know there had been many conversations in our home in regards to those who played hockey with Norm, perhaps that is the reason why I recall the name of Fred Sasakamoose. I appreciate being able to forward my condolences to the family for your loss, a gentleman I knew of and being the first Indigenous player with his desire...
