While Quinnipiac men’s hockey’s CT Ice semifinal on Jan. 24 against No. 12/13 UConn did not end the way the Bobcats hoped, it was a big night for graduate students forward Travis Treloar and defenseman Cooper Moore.
Both Bobcat athletes hit a milestone in their collegiate career, recording their 150th game.
Treloar and Moore are in their second season with the Bobcats, leading as captain and alternate captain.
Treloar has been an offensive generator for the Bobcats with 11 goals and nine assists during the 2024-25 season. Despite the loss to UConn, Treloar was able to record his 99th point on the game-tying goal and his 100th the next day against Yale.
“He’s phenomenal on the power play and scoring, he’s really working his face-offs and defending,” Quinnipiac head coach Rand Pecknold said. “He’s on penalty kill now for us, but even more than that he’s an elite person, he’s been a great captain, so we’re really fortunate to have him for the second year.”
Before coming to Quinnipiac, the Swedish native played at Ohio State for three seasons, recording 55 points. In his rookie season, Treloar led the team in scoring — the first freshman Buckeye to do so since 2012 — and was named 2021 Rookie of the Year on the squad.
“I’ve had some really good teammates and coaching staff along the way,” Treloar said. “It’s the best decision I’ve made, and obviously been really grateful and thankful for the opportunity from the staff and just sharing that locker (room) with my teammates, it’s been great.”
With several games left on the season, Treloar looks to surpass his 100th point, leaving an even bigger mark on college hockey.
On the defensive side, Moore has been a strong blue-liner for the Bobcats, recording six assists and one goal on the season.
He has a strong read on the play, letting him control his game to be a lockdown defender or offensive defenseman.
“He works,” Pecknold said. “He’s been playing greatly. I thought he was really good tonight. Again, happy to have him for the second year.”
Moore played at the University of North Dakota for three seasons before playing for the Bobcats, recording 13 points. During his freshman season, Moore recorded his first career point in his first game against Western Michigan. He ended his career at North Dakota earning NCHC All-Academic Team honors for all three years.
