Scott Moe is seeking his second mandate after spending nearly 13 years in government, six of those as premier. But long before politics, there was hockey.
Scott Moe is the conservative premier who began life as a left-winger with a shot so hard, it was lights out — literally.
He wasn’t quick, but he could fire the puck, a skill forged through hours of blasting away in his family’s unfinished basement.“All the lights go out in the house,” he said. “It was a learning experience for my father. And we very quickly agreed on getting a net.”“What I love most about it was the team and everybody finds their spot on it, the competition of it and working together to succeed,” he said.
Moe returned to Saskatchewan in 2003 and became a member of the Saskatchewan Party. He has represented Rosthern-Shellbrook since 2011.In 2018, after former Premier Brad Wall announced his retirement, Moe entered the leadership race and won with a large backing from caucus. He won his first public mandate in 2020.Moe’s time as premier has come with challenges, beginning with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Moe said he’s addressing these issues by hiring additional health workers, opening health centres and spending more on education. “But I actually view the opportunity that we have over the course of the next four years as one of greater collaboration and coming together, rather than defend what we have and what we’re trying to do.”
