William Moore

Final Rankings – While a weaker year in the program didn’t help Will Moore’s case, he finished strong at the U18s, leading Team USA in scoring. With improved consistency and detail, the big and skilled center could make our ranking look foolish.—Anni Karvinen

June 2025 – With some fresh linemates, Moore played some of his best hockey of the year next to Cullen Potter and Will Horcoff at the U18’s. While he didn’t look like he was dominating (or necessarily the main driver on his line) his abilities to absorb contact and make plays, both along the wall and at the netfront, looked improved. While his hands and playmaking ability remain strengths, I’m still not sold on his skating, his strength, or his athleticism. More importantly, I don’t know that he’s done enough to alleviate the concerns about his work ethic, his defensive abilities, or his physical play. With a mindset-shift and a greater focus on defence and detail, Moore could make many scouts look very foolish.—Luke Sweeney
