Oley Valley grad Kyle Moore has name engraved on Stanley Cup

Jul. 8—Days after celebrating on the ice, Kyle Moore knew it was likely that his name would be engraved on the Stanley Cup due to his position as the associate head athletic trainer for the champion Vegas Golden Knights.

Still, the 2005 Oley Valley grad didn’t want to get ahead of himself.

Now, though, the 36-year-old knows he will be part of NHL history as his name is one of the 52 that were engraved on the Cup.

“It’s amazing to actually see your name on something that will last forever,” Moore said via text. “I’m excited to be able to share this with my family. It will be special taking my kids to the Hockey Hall of Fame and seeing it with them. I’m very thankful for this entire experience and being a part of it during my career.”

The Golden Knights, who beat the Florida Panthers in five games last month in the finals, released the names Friday night. Moore is the 11th person listed. The first 25 names are ownership, management and staff, and the final 27 are players.

Earlier in the week, it had been announced that the Golden Knights would be the first team to have the Cup fully engraved before the tradition of the players and staff each getting a day to celebrate with it.

In the past, the Cup hadn’t been engraved until the fall.

Moore, whose title was changed to head athletic trainer following the season, said last month that his plan, if he got the Stanley Cup for a day — which he will — was to bring it to Oley.

He said Saturday that he’s still waiting to hear when his date with the Cup will be.

Moore has been part of the Golden Knights organization since the beginning, as he was hired before the first season, 2017-18.

Before that, he spent five seasons as the head athletic trainer for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in the AHL.

He and his wife, Lauren, also a 2005 Oley Valley grad whose maiden name is Hoover, have a 2-year-old son, Luke. They are expecting their second child in September.
