🏒ALUMNI FEATURE: Stephen Moon - D ('76) from Riceton, SK!

🚨 STATS: (1993-97) 240GP, 47G, 87A, 134PTS, 586PIM

🐻 HOCKEY CAREER: Stephen Moon joined the Bruins as a 17-year-old defenceman and immediately became one of the most imposing blueliners in the SJHL. The 6'5", 230+lbs farm kid from Riceton ended up playing all four of his junior seasons in Estevan, with Moon serving as an Assistant captain in 95-96 and being named captain for his final season in 96-97. Moon is still the franchise leader in Games Played for the Bruins, with 240GP over 4 seasons.

🏒 POST-BRUINS: Moon received a scholarship to Merrimack College where he played 3 seasons for the Warriors from 1999-2001 and earned a double-major in accounting and finance. As he was finishing up with Merrimack, Moon received an invite to the NHL's Dallas Stars rookie camp. Moon impressed there and was then invited to the Stars' main camp where he was scheduled to play in a rookies-game against the Florida Panthers, but NHL preseason games were abruptly cancelled after the September 11th terrorist attacks. All the players were sent home and Moon decided to begin his post-hockey career by taking over the family farm. Moon still lives and farms at home in Riceton with his wife and children.
