Sunday night the Hershey Bears are scheduled to give away a special bobblehead of defenseman Mike Moore. The figurine features Moore in a fireman’s uniform. “It was awesome,” Moore said. “It was really cool. It’s an honor to get a bobblehead. They combined a couple of passions of mine – firefighting and playing hockey. I couldn’t ask for something better. I think they did a great job with it including my hair, so I think it looks good.”

Another Hershey Bears season has come to a close and the team is now parting ways. After a disappointing ending against the Hartford Wolf Pack, players took a moment to speak to the media on breakdown day about their thoughts on the season and accomplishments from this past year.
Many fans might not remember the fact that defenseman Mike Moore played only ten games before he was injured at the beginning of the season. Moore would miss almost three months of the season before returning to the line-up on February 1st against Norfolk. Only two days games later would Moore get his first goal, an OT game winner against Wilkes-Barre. The 30-year-old defenseman appeared in 41 games for the Chocolate and White with a stat line of 3-11-14. He is set to be an unrestricted free agent.
