When the Moore brothers - Mark, Steve and Dominic- take the ice Saturday for the Harvard men's hockey team at Brown, they will be only the second set of three brothers ever to play NCAA hockey on the same team at the same time.
If they wanted to know what it felt like to be on the first trio, all they need do is ask at a family reunion. The Demarcos, who played together for Michigan State in 1969-70, are cousins of their mom, Anna.
As far as Harvard is concerned, the more Moores the better.
"Now that all three of us are here, it's a family affair," said Mark, the eldest. "And familial pride, besides my own and the team's, is at stake. And so I will take it even more personally than before if we lose."
Each Moore brother differs from the other two in position and personality and each will assume an important role this season, as the Crimson looks to adjust to a new coach.
Mark, a senior defenseman, is one of the team's leaders on the blueline. At 6'4" and 210 pounds, the big defenseman plays a physical game
Steve, a junior center, is Harvard's star. He has led the team in scoring each of the past two seasons and will be expected to provide the offensive punch again.
Dominic, a freshman winger, is the smoothest skater of the group. The smallest Moore at 6' and 180 pounds, he is a quick forward who will be counted on to score goals for the Crimson this season.
