The Daily Princetonian's 2008 male athlete of the year arrived on campus as a freshman to play for a brand new coach and a team that had won only four games the previous season. Four years later, senior defenseman Mike Moore led the men's hockey team to its best season in Princeton history: the Tigers' best ECAC finish, first outright Ivy League title, most conference wins, most overall wins and the program's second trip to the NCAA tournament.
Moore was the backbone of the team and - as Princeton developed a reputation in the ECAC as a fast, physical team that was good offensively but stifling defensively - became a player both feared and respected by opposing teams.
A unanimous first-team All-Ivy selection, Moore was also a unanimous first-team All-ECAC selection, ECAC Defensive Defenseman of the Year and a first-team All-America pick. He led the Tigers in scoring by a defenseman and was the heart of Princeton's squad both on and off the ice.
