I AM NOT NATIVE BUT I SURE AM A FAN OF FRED SASASKAOMOOSE! THE MAN HAS A WONDERFUL, JOYFUL SPIRIT ABOUT HIM! HE HAS A FUNNY AND NOBLE PERSONALITY! I ALREADY FEEL LIKE HE IS A FRIEND; AND I HAVE NEVER MET HIM! MOST IMPORTANT, IS THE GREAT WORK HE IS DOING SO UNSELFISHLY WITH NATIVE YOUTH IN MAKING THEM INTO GREAT HOCKEY PLAYERS AND INSTILLING NATIVE PRIDE IN THOSE KIDS! THE FIRST TIME I SAW FRED ON T,V, I THOUGHT HE WAS A GIANT OF A GOOD-HEARTED MAN! FROM EDMONTON, ALBERTA!
GO OILERS GO! ( GOOD GOING FRED!)
