With the Canadiens

Moore made his NHL debut with the Canadiens in the middle of the 1951-52 season after two Memorial Cup wins as a junior; Canadiens general manager Frank Selke Sr. had called him Canada's best junior. Known for his hard, accurate shot and his stickhandling, he often played on a line with Henri Richard and Maurice Richard. In 1958-59 he scored 41 goals and 55 assists for 96 points, breaking Gordie Howe's record of 95 points in a regular season.

Later career

Moore came out of retirement twice, playing briefly for the Toronto Maple Leafs and the St. Louis Blues.
