Bill Moe

William Carl Moe (October 2, 1916 – July 13, 1996) He then moved on to play with the Philadelphia Ramblers in the American Hockey League (AHL).

Moe "excelled" in the AHL and posted 24 points in his lone season in Philadelphia. Following season's end Moe changed teams again this time joining the AHL's Hershey Bears. Moe's production dipped in his first year with Hershey, but in his second he finished with his AHL career high 31 points. He played 35 games for the Rangers in the 1944-45 season while also playing 12 games for the Bears.

Midway through the following season Moe was accused of delivering an illegal low hit to the Chicago Black Hawks' Bill Mosienko which resulted in a torn knee ligament. Rangers' head coach, Frank Boucher, defended Moe by saying "Bill [Moe] stopped Mosienko with a fair bodycheck and bodychecking is part of a defenseman's job." Moe finished the season with four goals and eight points, as the Rangers finished last for the fourth straight year. He continued to improve, increasing his point total over the next two season first to 14 then to 16, and the Rangers made the playoffs for the first time in six seasons during the 1947–48 season. It was the only NHL playoff game that he played in. He suffered two scalp wounds, requiring 24 stitches to close, and a mild concussion. Despite the injuries, Moe played in a career best 60 games registering 9 assists along with an NHL career high 60 penalty minutes.

Moe played two more seasons with the Bears, registering a total of 5 goals and 37 points. After his two seasons in Hershey, Moe moved to the Pacific Coast Hockey League playing for the Calgary Stampeders. He played only one season in Calgary before returning to the EAHL, finishing his career with the Troy Uncle Sam's Trojans. Moe retired at the end of the year and in his final professional season he recorded a career high 35 points.
