John Carroll Moore Jr. (born November 19, 1990) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman currently playing for the Boston Bruins in the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted in the first round, 21st overall, of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft by the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Early life[]

John Carroll Moore Jr. was born on November 19, 1990, in Winnetka, Illinois.[1] His maternal grandfather James B. Longley was the governor of Maine from 1975 until 1979.[2]

Playing career[]

As a youth, Moore played in the 2003 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with the Chicago Young Americans minor ice hockey team.[3] He later played for the Winnetka Minor Mite House League before joining the Winnetka Hockey travel program.[4]

Junior[]

In 2007, during his junior year at New Trier High School, Moore joined the United States Hockey League's (USHL) Chicago Steel for their 2007–08 season.[5] In 56 games with Chicago, Moore had four goals and 15 points, then he added two assists in seven playoff games. He returned to the Steel for the 2008–09 season and saw his numbers improve greatly, as Moore had 14 goals and 39 points in 57 games. However, Chicago did not make the playoffs. He was eligible for the 2009 NHL Entry Draft and was the sixth-ranked North American player as well as the top-ranked North American defenseman.[6]

Moore was selected by the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) in the second round of the 2009 OHL Priority Draft, also being selected by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the first round, 21st overall, of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.[7] Prior to his rookie season with the Rangers, Moore was signed to a three-year entry level contract with the Blue Jackets on July 21, 2009.[8] In his maiden season with the Rangers in 2009–10, Moore had 10 goals and 47 points in 61 games. Moore then put up impressive numbers in the playoffs, earning 16 points in 20 games as the Rangers lost to the Windsor Spitfires in the Western Conference Finals.

Professional[]

Columbus Blue Jackets[]

Following his rookie season with the Blue Jackets, Moore was assigned to start the 2010–11 season with the Blue Jackets' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Springfield Falcons. After 47 games with the Falcons, Moore was recalled by the Blue Jackets and made his NHL debut in a 4–3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on February 5, 2011.[9] His first NHL goal was scored on October 25, 2011 against Ty Conklin of the Detroit Red Wings.[10]

New York Rangers[]

During the lockout-shortened 2012–13 season, Moore was included in the NHL trade deadline day deal made by the Blue Jackets that sent Derick Brassard, Derek Dorsett, himself and a sixth-round draft pick to the New York Rangers in exchange for Marián Gáborík and prospects Blake Parlett and Steven Delisle on April 3, 2013.[11] In his first game as a Ranger, only three hours after the trade, Moore scored his first goal of the season in a 6–1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.[12]

Arizona Coyotes[]

On March 1, 2015, Moore, along with Anthony Duclair, a 2015 second-round pick and a 2016 first-round pick, were traded to the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for defensemen Keith Yandle, Chris Summers and a 2015 fourth-round pick.[13] In his short time with the club, Moore recorded 1 goal and 5 assists in 19 games. On June 29, Moore was not tendered an offer as a restricted free agent by the Coyotes, making him an unrestricted free agent.[14]

New Jersey Devils[]

On July 1, 2015, Moore signed as a free agent to a three-year, $5 million contract with the New Jersey Devils.[15]

During a game against the Washington Capitals in December 2016, Moore was awkwardly hit into the boards by Capitals forward Tom Wilson and stretchered off the ice.[16] He missed 17 games to recover from a concussion before returning to the lineup on February 12, 2017, against the San Jose Sharks.[17] When reflecting on his recovery, Moore stated he worked with Devils skills coach Pertti Hasanen and "really kind of challenged myself when I was injured."[18]

Boston Bruins[]

On July 1, 2018, Moore signed as a free agent to a five-year, $13.75 million contract with the Boston Bruins.[19] Following the signing, Moore stated "it was a slam dunk and something I wanted to happen...[Free agency] is a bizarre thing, but when [Bruins General Manager] Don [Sweeney] called it felt right and we just wanted to make it work, and I'm really grateful that we did."[20]

Prior to rejoining the Bruins following an injury, Moore was re-assigned to the Providence Bruins on a conditioning stint on December 1, 2019.[21]

Following the Bruins elimination from the 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs, Moore underwent hip arthroscopy and labral repair surgery.[22]

On October 9, 2021, Moore was placed on waivers, which he cleared.[23] However, on October 11, 2021, he was announced as part of the Bruins' opening night roster.

Personal life[]

Moore married fellow Illinois native Elizabeth Wanders in July 2016.[24]
