[edit] Career

Prior to his professional career, Moore played for the Harvard Crimson in the ECAC, as did his two brothers, Mark and Steve. In 1999-00, Dominic joined both older brothers on the Harvard Crimson ice hockey team, marking the first-ever brother trio in school history to play at the same time. Moore is currently ranked eleventh in all-time scoring at Harvard; he is tenth on the school's all-time goal-scoring list.

Moore began his professional career in the 2003-04 NHL season, in which he split time between the New York Rangers and their minor league affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL.

Moore made his NHL debut on November 1, 2003, against the Montreal Canadiens, where he tallied three assists in a 5-1 victory. He became the second Ranger ever to score three points in his NHL debut with the Rangers, joining George Allen, who did so in 1938. Moore spent the majority of the season with the Wolfpack, where he finished fifth in scoring.

During the NHL lockout, Moore remained with the Wolfpack; he finished third on the team in scoring for the year.

Moore rejoined the Rangers at the start of the 2005-06 NHL season, where he was placed on a defensive-minded line with Jed Ortmeyer and Ryan Hollweg. Through minor line-changes throughout the year, Moore has continued his solid defensive play and continued to improve.

On July 19, 2006 the Rangers traded Moore to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a 3 team trade.

On February 27, 2007 the Penguins traded Moore to the Minnesota Wild for a 2007 third round draft pick.
