Robbie Moore

Robert David Moore (May 3, 1954 – January 7, 2022) was a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender. He played 6 games in the National Hockey League for the Philadelphia Flyers and Washington Capitals during the 1978–79 and 1982–83 seasons. He played his college hockey at the University of Michigan and the University of Western Ontario. Author John U. Bacon claims that Moore was one of the first goalies in either college or professional hockey to not only come out of his net and handle the puck like a defenseman, but "actually shoot it as well as the forwards." As of 2001, Moore held the Michigan Wolverines hockey record for most saves by a goaltender with 4,434. He played for the University of Western Ontario for the 1976-77 season. The Mariners led the AHL in goals against average for the season, and Moore and Peeters shared the Harry "Hap" Holmes Memorial Award, awarded to the goalies who play at least 25 games for the team that leads the AHL with the lowest goals against average. His NHL debut came on March 6, 1979 against the Colorado Rockies, and Moore registered a 5–0 shutout in his debut.

Moore was also on the Flyers' roster for the 1979 playoffs. He played five games in the playoffs as well, more than any other Flyers' goalie that season. He had a 4.03 goals against average in the playoffs and one assist, as the Flyers won their first round playoff series against the Vancouver Canucks but lost to the New York Rangers in the second round. Moore played 32 games with a 3.51 goals against average. The Mariners led the AHL in goals against average once again, and Moore earned his third consecutive Harry "Hap" Holmes Memorial Award, this time sharing the award with Lindbergh. Moore played the entire 1981–82 season for the Nashville South Stars of the Central Hockey League.
