Dominic Moore
Profile Contributed By: Brandon LeBourveau
History
Born on September 3, 1980 in Thornhill, Ontario,
Dominic Moore has grown up watching and learning the game of hockey from
his two older brothers, Mark and Steve, who currently are both playing
professional hockey this season. Mark, a defenseman, was drafted in the
7th Round (179th overall) of the 1997 Entry Draft by the Pittsburgh
Penguins. After graduating from the Harvard University two years ago,
Mark played 27 games in the ECHL last season and 11 games in the AHL
with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins last season. This season he
seems to have found his niche, appearing in 41 games for the Wheeling
Nailers of the ECHL, totaling 5 goals and 15 points, along with 30
penalty minutes. Steve, a forward, is the biggest of the three Moore
brothers and was also drafted the highest, selected in the 2nd round
(53rd overall) of the 1998 Entry Draft by the Colorado Avalanche. Steve
just graduated from Harvard from Harvard this past year, and is in his
first season of professional hockey. In 39 games with the Hershey Bears,
Steve has 6 goals, 8 assists, 14 points and 19 penalty minutes. He also
got a cup of coffee in the NHL with the Avalanche, tallying no points in
three games. All three Moore brothers played for Harvard during the
1999-2000 season, which was the first time in the history of the school
that a brother-trio played for their hockey team. Mark was in his senior
year, Steve was a junior, and young Dominic was a freshman. Steve was
the first one to reach the NHL, but it could be Dominic who makes the
biggest impact in the National Hockey League.

Talent Analysis
Dominic Moore is what you would call a complete hockey player. He plays
a similar style to Mike York. Moore is a great skater and has good
straight-away speed. He's a creative playmaker and has proven he has the
ability to score goals. He has been one of the most exciting players to
watch in college hockey over the last year, and coming into this season
some were touting him as a potential Hobey Baker candidate, an award
given each year to the nation's top player. He plays a two-way game, and
is sound defensively, something the Rangers sure could use from their
forwards. Moore has the potential to possibly become a second line
center, but most likely will develop into a solid two-way third line
center that will chip in at both ends of the ice. |

Future
Dominic Moore’s two-way play lends well for a third or fourth line
center position with the NY Rangers. He earned a five game audition in
November of 2003 and has continued his development with the Hartford
Wolfpack of the AHL. Moore will compete in 2004-05 training camp for a
regular job with the NY Rangers. With the new direction of the NY
Rangers Moore’s chances of being an NHL regular are better than ever
before. |
