At least two adjectives are necessary to typify Dickie Moore’s career in the National Hockey League: competitive and talented.

Between 1951 and 1963, the Montreal native left-winger contributed to six Stanley Cups, won the Art Ross Trophy in 1958 and in 1959, had six 20-goal seasons and earned two first All-Star Team selections and one second All-Star Team berth.

In 1958-59, his 96 points earned him his second straight scoring title. Furthermore, he surpassed Gordie Howe’s record of 95 points, established six years earlier. This record would last until Bobby Hull recorded 97 points, in 1965-66.

Moore was also very productive come playoff time. With the Canadiens, he played in 112 playoff contests and collected 94 points, including 38 goals. At the age of 37 years old, Moore added 14 points, including seven goals, in 18 games with the St. Louis Blues, in 1968.
In the spring of 1959, he led all playoff scorers with 17 points in 11 games. For 15 years, Moore held the NHL record for most points in a single playoff game, with six. He accomplished the feat on March 25, 1954, in an 8-1 win over the Boston Bruins.

Moore registered all those impressive numbers even though he suffered his fair share of physical ailments. In 1953-54, he was limited to 13 games because of a collarbone injury. In 1958-59, he completed the season with 84 points, even though he played the last three months with a cast on a broken wrist.

Moore was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1974.
