“I don’t think anyone has better vision than Dom on the ice,” Pettit said after the game, which is high praise coming from the ECAC’s leading assist man.
“I think Dominic Moore’s a very special player,” said Harvard coach Mark Mazzoleni. “He plays to win.”
And despite the fact that he was unable to lead his team to a win over the Big Red, Moore never hesitated to attack Cornell’s feared defense in the game’s waning moments.
“Sometimes Dominic can even put too much on his own shoulder and try to do too much,” Mazzoleni said. “But I’d rather have players like that—you want kids who want the puck at the crucial moment.”
This weekend, at least, seven points—a hat trick and two pair of assists—was not too much weight for Moore’s shoulders to bear.
