With several members of the Boston Pride honoring commitments with the US national team over the 2015 holiday season, Moore dressed for a game as an emergency player while she was the general manager of the team. The game took place on December 27, 2015, as the Pride played against the Connecticut Whale. Moore participated in one faceoff in the 2–1 win for the Pride as the Whale endured their first loss in franchise history.
