The Edmonton Football Team is hosting its first ever online 50/50 raffle and its in support of the Winnifred Stewart Association’s Joey Moss Memorial Fund.

Moss passed away in late October at 57 years old.

Wayne Gretzky and Moss were together for years in Edmonton and fostered a close relationship. Longtime friend Dwayne Mandrusiak said, “When I had my assistants and they would bug me I used to say, ‘I would trade you all for another Joey Moss, the problem is there’s only one.’”
