Sitting around a lounge area at the Fox Valley Ice Arena on Oct. 7, Ian Moore watched the 2020 NHL Draft with some of his new Chicago Steel teammates. Later that day, Sean Farrell, of Hopkinton, also was in the lounge area.
Both were about to experience a memorable moment.
Moore, an 18-year-old ice hockey player from Concord was about to leave the lounge around 2 p.m. to catch the third round with his parents, who were visiting and sitting at Chelios Pub and Grill in the Illinois-based arena. But before he could reach the exit doors, Moore was bombarded by his United States Hockey League (USHL) teammates.
