Steven Francis Moore (born September 22, 1978) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player who played in parts of three National Hockey League (NHL) seasons with the Colorado Avalanche.
Moore is widely known for suffering a career-ending injury as a result of an on-ice altercation by then-Vancouver Canucks forward Todd Bertuzzi on March 8, 2004, as revenge for another incident involving Moore in a prior game between the teams that season. The fall-out from the event has contributed to a growing effort to curb gratuitous violence in hockey, and professional sports in general.
