EDMONTON, AB - The hockey world, in particular the Oilers organization and Edmonton sports community, lost an iconic figure on Monday as Joey Moss passed away at the age of 57.
Moss was the team's locker room attendant for more than 30 years after Wayne Gretzky met him and brought him aboard during the 1984-85 season. Past and present Oilers players, as well as players and alumni from across the NHL, tweeted their memories and condolences for the legend.

Tweet from @Ferknuckle: Heartbreaking to hear about Joey Moss passing away. He is the soul of the @EdmontonOilers. I��ll remember him singing the anthem w/pride, getting fired up about wrestling and always asking if I combed my hair with a pork chop. 💔 My deepest condolences to the Moss family. pic.twitter.com/Ssa0ZBcoSn

Every day when I walked into the Oilers dressing room I looked forward to seeing what Joey would say or do. He was the best. Rest easy big guy and enjoy that beer!

There was nothing better than coming off the ice after a huge win to a Joey Moss high five on the bench. His energy and passion for the game were infectious and made you want to come to the rink everyday. He truly was a legend and will be greatly missed. #RIPJoeyMoss #Legend pic.twitter.com/CBpiuwyyCX

When you think of the Edmonton Oilers... names like Gretzky, Messier, Coffey and McDavid come to mind. Joey Moss is right there with them. He is a Canadian legend and a true inspiration to all of us. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Rest In Peace Joey. 👊🙏 pic.twitter.com/F0ASrzuvw3
