Moore signs up with the Sharks

Having scored 52 points in 121 career games and led a Princeton team that won just eight games his freshman year to the ECAC championship a few weeks ago, Moore arguably has had one of the most impressive four-year careers in the history of Tiger hockey. It’s no surprise, then, that several teams came calling for his services.

Moore, who doesn’t have an agent, said that he chose the Sharks because they were the first team to approach him and the most persistent in their pursuit of him, as evidenced by the extensive homework the Sharks’ scouting department did on him.

“Sometimes they know more about you than you do about yourself,” Moore said.

After fielding inquiries from several teams, Moore decided upon the team that had come after him first.

The six-foot, one-inch, 220-pound bruiser will wear number eight for the Worcester Sharks, who have four games remaining in their regular season schedule. Unfortunately for Moore, the Sharks did not qualify for the AHL playoffs, so his pro hockey action this spring will be limited to a handful of games.

Despite the woes in Worcester, however, the parent club in San Jose has recently solidified its position as an NHL powerhouse, and Moore could hardly contain his enthusiasm for his new franchise.

“I’m really excited to be a part of this organization,” Moore said. “They’re a great organization, as shown by the fact that they’re going to the playoffs this year.”
