Notes

Red Moore was a talented athlete, both amateur and professional. He excelled at football, hockey, and softball, as can be seen from the newspaper clippings below.

In 1929, he signed a three-year contract with the Toronto Millionaires of the International Hockey League. Unfortunately, it appears that the team folded the following year, in 1930.
