SAN DIEGO, Calif. - The San Diego Gulls announced today that the American Hockey League (AHL) club has signed defenseman Ian Moore to an amateur tryout (ATO).
Moore, 23 (1/4/02), completed his four-year collegiate career at Harvard University with 9-47=56 points in 122 games from 2021-25, helping the Crimson to back-to-back appearances in the NCAA tournament in 2022 and 2023. The 6-3, 203-pound defenseman earned 3-11=14 points this season as a senior, serving as the club's captain for the second straight campaign. He tied a career high in goals (also three in 2023-24) while he led all Crimson skaters in blocked shots (60). Moore was also nominated for the ECAC Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
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.
