Andy Moog - Later Career

Later Career

With the Stars bringing in Ed Belfour, Moog signed as a free agent with the Montreal Canadiens for the 1997–98 NHL season. Ironically while Moog had helped eliminate Montreal from the playoffs four times (once with the Oilers and three times with the Bruins), he backstopped the Habs to their first playoff series win since 1993. In the summer of 1998, Moog was offered a contract to play for the Vancouver Canucks, but he chose to retire and instead became the team's goaltending coach.

Moog was selected to play in the National Hockey League All-Star Game game four times over his career. He was selected to the All-Star team with: the Oilers (1985 and 1986), Bruins (1991), and Stars (1997). In his two All-Star appearances as an Oiler, both he and Fuhr were selected to the team.

During the middle and latter years of his career, Moog served as Vice-President of the National Hockey League Players Association. This position made him a spokesman for the players, both during the 1992 NHL players strike and the 1995 NHL lockout.

On August 19, 2005, Team Canada appointed Moog as goaltending consultant for the 2006 Winter Olympics team.

On September 12, 2009, Moog was named assistant coach of the Dallas Stars. His contract expired July 1, 2010 and he was not offered an extension.
