The 20-year-old Moore made his season debut with the Blackhawks
on Monday night at Seattle in a 3-1 loss to the Kraken. Moore
received 16:29 of ice time, registered three shots on net and
had a minus-2 rating in the defeat.
“It's great to be here,” Moore said. “Obviously I didn't get a
ton of sleep last night, but I don't think that matters. I've
got a lot of energy. I'm ready to go.”
Moore, the No. 19 pick in the 2023 NHL draft, agreed to an
entry-level deal with Chicago in March. He had no goals and four
assists in nine games with the Blackhawks last season.
“I think when Ollie’s at his best he makes an impact on the game
with his tenacity and his speed, his compete,” said coach Jeff
Blashill, who was hired in May. “He’s got good skill to go along
with that.”
Moore was in training camp with Chicago before beginning this
season with Rockford. He had six goals and three assists in nine
games for the IceHogs before his promotion.
“I think the expectation was for me to just go down there and
play winning hockey and dominate,” Moore said. “Tried to do that
down there. I think the first thing that (general manager Kyle
Davidson) told me was just ‘Make us make a spot for you.’ ...
I'm grateful to be here.”
