Dickie Moore, a Feisty Piece of a Canadiens Dynasty, Dies at 84

Dickie Moore, a Hockey Hall of Famer who played on six Stanley Cup championship teams with the Montreal Canadiens and won two straight N.H.L. point-scoring titles, died on Saturday in Montreal. He was 84.

Réjean Houle, a former Canadiens wing and a community-relations official for the team, said the cause was prostate cancer.

As a forward for the Canadiens from 1951 to 1963, Moore was an outstanding puck handler and passer, had a hard shot and was adept at faking out goalies in front of the net. Although smallish, he had no problem mixing it up with the league’s roughnecks.
