‘Had to hold back tears’: Family of Lincoln Moore, a Saginaw Spirit forward who won Canada’s ultimate junior hockey prize, was honoured with parade in his home community
It was a special weekend in Garden River First Nation as residents celebrated their very own Memorial Cup champion Lincoln Moore with a victory parade.
The parade passed by several notable parts of the area, including the “Indian Land Bridge,” before the procession concluded at the Recreation Centre around 1 p.m. He competed with the Greyhounds AAA team for four years before he joined the Spirit in the 2022-23 season. “A lot of our family are season ticket holders for the Greyhounds,” Belleau said. “It almost felt like more pressure when he would come into town.”
Moore scored a goal and had two assists as a fourth liner against the Moose Jaw Warriors during the semi-final game, which contributed to a big 7-1 win that sent his team to the final against the Knights. Under the brightest lights in Canadian junior hockey, it’s difficult to imagine how the mom of a player competing in that situation was feeling.
