Along the way, he became a cornerstone of the teams, sent down the hall to the visitor’s dressing room to wish Mathieu Schneider a"Happy Hanukkah!" or to deliver the organizational handshake to a new husband or father. He was as welcome in the dressing rooms of every visiting CFL or NHL team as he was in Edmonton's.In sports, if they’re not kidding around with you or pulling your leg, it’s because you haven’t been accepted yet.

It was while he was dancing a few months back that his hip gave out. “He was dancing by the lunch table,” said Kulchisky. “His body just gave way.”

Spec I always fancied myself a die-hard Oil fan, but compared to Mr. Moss, I am just another guy who likes the Oilers.
