Moe grew up loving the sport, labelling himself an average player, who began on the left wing but got moved to defence.

Moe ’s interest in politics began while living in Vermillion , Alta., in his early adult life.

He began his work life selling agriculture equipment and owning gas stations.

His administration has stopped paying the federal carbon levy on home heating.

Moe roots for the NHL ’s Edmonton Oilers .

His family has a tradition of playing a game at a rink every Christmas.

“Politics has ruined my (hockey) career,” Moe says.
