Scott Moe is a conservative premier who began life as a left-winger with a shot so hard, it was lights out — literally.
On a recent fall day, Moe stands among the seats at his hometown rink in Shellbrook, north of Saskatoon, and points to the spot on the ice where he was knocked out cold.
Trevor Miller, who grew up with Moe in Shellbrook, said sports shaped his friend and helped him achieve success.At the rink, Miller said, Moe was the team's glue. They married in the early 1990s and attended the University of Saskatchewan. He received a degree in agriculture, and she in pharmacy. They have two children: Carter and Taryn.In 1997, he crashed his car into another after not stopping at a highway intersection, killing Jo-Anne Balog. Balog's teen son survived the crash, and Moe apologized to him four years ago.
Moe returned to Saskatchewan in 2003 and became a member of the Saskatchewan Party. He has represented Rosthern-Shellbrook since 2011. Saskatchewan has also struggled with patients waiting longer for health care. School classrooms are overcrowded and inflationary pressures have squeezed wallets. "There's been times where we've had to be fairly firm and stand our ground on behalf of Saskatchewan residents," he said.
