  1. Hell of a hockey player! I had the opportunity to watch him a number of times while I was playing kid’s hockey in the early ’60s! He played on a few different teams in North West Saskatchewan for a number of years. Beautiful skater and his capabilities with a stick, well…
    Pretty fair golfer too.
    RIP Freddy.

  2. I think every time an old person dies, their kids should harp on the reason why.

    “Stop drinking any alcohol immediately, that demon caused my 85 year old father to enter the grave early!”
    “Smoking…it will kill you as my 80 year old father’s lungs will tell you, it’s real!”
    “Put down the pierogis and back away slowly, those extra 20 lbs your carrying will kill you as soon as it did my 78 year old dad!!”
    “Don’t use deodorant, that aluminum gave my father alzheimers which caused him to wander into the road and get hit by a car at 79!!”

    If they all band together, maybe the families of the 650,000+ that die every year in the US from heart disease can lower that number by mandating a course of government issued super food that will insure that we’re all at maximum nutrition.

  3. Born Christmas Eve 1934. According to my Inside Sports Hockey book Freddie played 11 games for the Black Hawks in the 53/54 season. Back when the NHL comprised just 6 teams playing even 1 game in the bigs was considered huge.

  4. Survived 5 days after being hospitalized. I wonder how far along the virus had gone by then?

    Even if he was in good health over 85 cohort have highest rates of mortality.

    Doubt he tried or was given or even heard of zelenko protocol, or media would have pounced on the opportunity to discredit it.

    At any rate, it would not have harmed him to try it.

  6. An ancient hockey player dies from a winter flu. So, we must obey Trudeau’s every order if we don’t want the hockey players fate……right?

  7. Freddie Saskamoose was a hell of a guy. You never heard him whining. He made it to the show but couldn’t take ‘not being home’. He walked out of a pro hockey career.

    He wasn’t just some ancient hockey player who died of the flu – he was a man among men. Respected.

    Good on ya Freddie.

  9. RIP and no disrespect but, after all the COVID talk, it sure takes the writer a while to tell you that an almost 88 year old man died of pneumonia.
