Honestly never heard of him, but the name 'Saskamoose' is pretty funny. In Canada there's a Province/State called 'Saskatchewan' and inside there is a city called 'Saskatoon'. Even funnier in Saskatchewan there's a city called 'Moose Jaw', so add in that he played hockey he's probably the most Canadian person ever.

Glad you got a charge out of it.

And it's province.
