A three-time ECAC champion, Paul Moore remains one of the most accomplished defensemen in the SMU/UMass Dartmouth annals. From 1981-85, Moore was a key component in a 63-22-1 overall record for the Corsairs, featuring a three-peat of ECAC titles with three highly successful coaches in Joe Prenda, Alex Kogler and John Rolli. In 84 games, Moore registered 12 goals and 57 assists for 69 career points, good for fifth all-time in defenseman scoring in program history. In his senior campaign, he put forth seven goals and 20 assists for 27 points, the eighth-highest single-season total for a defender in the UMass Dartmouth records. For his efforts that year, Moore was tabbed to the ECAC Division III First Team, a significant accomplishment during a time in which the ECAC featured 32 Division III squads.

Following his collegiate career, Moore went on to play professionally for the Double A International League team in Kalamazoo, Mich. and eventually participated in two NHL camps (Detroit and New Jersey). Moore returned to his hometown of Falmouth, Mass., where he has become one of the nation’s most active figures in the sport. He became the president of the Falmouth Youth Hockey League, and was a principal figure in the development and construction of the Falmouth Ice Arena, which opened in 2012. That year, he was named the recipient of USA Hockey’s William Thayer Tutt Award, bestowed annually to a volunteer who has “displayed a selfless dedication to the enhancement of ice hockey at the grassroots level in America”. In 2013, Moore succeeded his high school coach, Buddy Ferreira, as the head coach of the Falmouth High School boys’ ice hockey team and currently serves as USA Hockey’s Coach-in-Chief for Massachusetts.
