Moore just completed a four-year NCAA career at Robert Morris University. The 24-year-old appeared in 152 collegiate games, notching 31 points (4g-27a).

He was a four-time member of the Atlantic Hockey All-Academic Team. The native of Grosse Point, Mich. signed with the Elmira Jackals on March 23 and appeared in one game last season, making his professional debut on March 26 versus Brampton.
Pompeo skated two seasons at the University of Southern Maine before moving to Salve Regina University for his final two seasons of collegiate hockey.

He led defensemen in scoring both seasons at Salve Regina, leading the Seahawks to an Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference Northeast championship.
