INDEPENDENCE, MO – The Kansas City Mavericks have signed defenseman Lleyton Moore ahead of the 2026-27 season.
Moore brings three seasons of American Hockey League (AHL) experience to Kansas City after spending the past three seasons with the Tucson Roadrunners. Moore appeared in 77 career AHL games, recording 23 points. Moore began his professional career during the 2023-24 season, splitting time between Tucson and the Wichita Thunder. In 46 games with the Thunder, Moore led all defensemen with 39 points. The Saskatoon native made his AHL debut with the Roadrunners on December 20, 2023, in which he scored his first AHL goal in that same game.
Before turning pro, Moore spent four seasons in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) with the Niagara IceDogs, Oshawa Generals, and Kitchener Rangers. Throughout his juniors’ career, Moore totaled 143 points in 226 career OHL games and a plus/minus rating of +48, serving as the captain of the Generals during his final season of juniors.
As Kansas City continues to build its roster, the addition of Moore’s ability to move the puck and contribute offensively has Kansas City set to defend their Western Conference title as the Mavericks open the 2026-27 season at home against the Rapid City Rush on October 16 and 17 at Cable Dahmer Arena.
