As a freshman in 2021-22, Moore notched 2-13=15 points with a +16 rating in 35 games. He was named to the ECAC Hockey All-Rookie Team, an All-Ivy League Honorable Mention and ECAC Hockey All-Tournament Team selection.
Selected by Anaheim in the third round (67th overall) of the 2020 NHL Draft, Moore helped the Chicago Steel (USHL) to a Clark Cup championship in 2020-21.
