Council to decide Monday on erecting Fred Sasakamoose statue at SaskTel Centre
Since early November, things have been tough on the family of Indigenous hockey legend Fred Sasakamoose.
Sasakamoose — the first treaty-status player in NHL history — died on Nov. 24 after battling a presumed COVID-19 case. He was 86 years old.
Fred’s son, Neil Sasakamoose, said since his father’s death, things just haven’t felt right in his world.
“I think we’re going into this new stage in our life, remembering him again. We had stages of him,” Neil said. “We’ve been dealing with the passing part of it now.”
