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 to play professional hockey. To Fred’s family and friends, sharing your sorrow, please accept my condolences, may memories bring you comfort, I know they will.
