It might have been one of the scariest moments of his hockey career, but Greg Moore remembers little about it.

After a hit into the boards Wednesday night in Hartford, Moore was sprawled on the ice for a lengthy period of time. Stretchers were brought out. Trainers attended to him. Eventually, the Lisbon native and former University of Maine standout skated off on his own, but not before a few anxious moments.

“I’d never had a concussion before and been in that situation before,” Moore said Friday afternoon. “To be honest, I don’t remember any of it. It was all a blank.”

Moore was on the penalty kill and skating along the wing for a shot when Lowell defenseman Mark Fraser put him into the boards.

“I was driving wide to take a wide shot,” Moore said. “I kind of got towards the bottom of the circle shooting and was kind of on one foot. Fraser hit me as I was taking the shot. It wasn’t a bad hit, but I was kind of in a vulnerable spot. I was going full speed into the corner. I kind of left my feet and went head first into the boards.”

Moore said his head hurt significantly Thursday, but it had improved by Friday afternoon. It still put him out of the lineup for Hartford’s game against the Portland Pirates at the Cumberland County Civic Center on Friday night.

Moore says his status is day-to-day and hopes to be back in the lineup next week. Though he missed the game in Portland, it allowed him to spend more time with family and get some much needed relaxation.

“Obviously it’s a game that’s real close to family and friends,” Moore said. “I always look forward to playing here. So it was a bummer that it happened right before this game, but it’s part of the game. It gives me an opportunity to sit in the stands with my family.”

Moore recently became just the fourth captain in the Wolfpack’s history, joining Ken Gernander, Craig Weller and Andrew Hutchinson. In January, his teammates voted him the new team leader for the remainder of the year.

“That was exciting,” Moore said. “I wasn’t expecting that. It’s nice to be honored with that and have that role. It’s definitely an honor that my teammates saw me in that light.”

Moore was team captain at Maine, but he says serving in the role at the professional level is a bit different.

“It’s a little more stress-free,” Moore said. “At Maine, it was a little more baby-sitting. Guys are younger and there’s a lot more to it. There’s more to take care of. Here, everyone is more dull and a lot more grown up and professional. Everyone can take care of themselves. It didn’t really change a lot for me on and off the ice. I’m still working hard every day and playing the same.”

Moore has 22 goals and 16 assists in 69 games with Hartford this season. He also has seven power-play goals. His production is similar to what he did last year, when he scored 26 goals and 40 assists in 72 games. In his first full season in Hartford, he scored eight goals and had 17 assists in 79 games. That was after netting three goals and six assists in 15 playoff games after leaving Maine in 2006.

He has appeared in six games with the New York Rangers and has no points.

Moore was originally drafted by Calgary, in the fifth round, but was traded to the Rangers in 2004 along with Blair Betts and Jamie McLennan, in exchange for Chris Simon and a seventh-round pick.

Moore signed a new one-year deal with the Rangers organization last summer. He was a restricted free agent then, but will be unrestricted next summer. That should give him other options when he looks to sign a new contract, but that’s something he says he won’t focus on until after hockey season.

“It’s really tough to tell right now,” Moore said. “I really haven’t put much thought into it. I’m just trying to play out this year. The organization I’m with now, I’m having a great time with this group of guys. When summer rolls around, I’ll start worry about that and figure it out then.”
