Cooper Moore Commits To Augustana

NHL Puck (Jamie Sabau-USA TODAY Sports)

Lloydminster Bobcats forward Cooper Moore has committed to Augustana, it was announced late last week.

Moore, a product of Red Deer, Alta., is in his first season in the AJHL where he has collected 13 goals and 30 assists for 43 points in 39 games.

Prior to making the jump to the junior level, Moore spent last season playing for the Red Deer Chiefs U18, putting up 26 goals and 30 assists for 56 points in 38 regular season games. Over the course of his minor hockey career, Moore played for the Chiefs, West Central Tigers, Red Deer Rebels, and the Red Deer Northstar Chief.

Scheduled to join the Vikings this fall, Moore has been a revelation for the Bobcats this season. As someone who makes plays out of nothing, Moore has showcased his ability to make a difference every shift and should be someone who finds success in his freshman NCAA season.

The Avs should just be happy with getting into the playoffs this year. Get the golf clubs ready to hit the course by early May. Very early.

Can't agree with you here. I think the Avs are for real. Any team with MacKinnon and Makar has a good chance to go far.

I'm curious, what makes you so sure they'll be hitting the links that early in May? Sure, the Avs started the season rough and their overall record for the season doesn't scream postseason juggernaut, but they've improved the team a ton since the beginning of the season and have been super hot lately. They got rid of both struggling goalies in return for two very solid goalies, and Blackwood has potential to steal games for them on occasion. They traded away Rantanen, but they got back Necas who's been above point-per-game since the trade and arguably fits the team better with his speed, as well as a solid depth piece in Drury. The Rantanen trade also gave the Avs the cap space to beef up their depth by adding Nelson and Coyle. They now have good goaltending, and both star power and depth in the forward group and defense. They're hot right now too, 12-4-1 since the 4 Nations break. I'd argue they're poised for a deep run this postseason.

SDBeerLeaguer32 Agreed. Avs are rightly going to be one of the favorites this spring.
