Islanders arena team lands another QB

The Hawaiian Islanders signed arena football veteran quarterback Ed Moore.

Moore, a 6-foot-4, 240-pound Punahou alumnus, helped the Austin (Texas) Rattlers to the National Arena Football League title in 2000.

In 2001, he spent some time with the Columbus (Ohio) Wardogs of arenafootball2 --the league the Islanders have joined --before returning to the Rattlers.

Moore gives the Islanders two quarterbacks. Darnell Arceneaux, a St. Louis School graduate who played for Utah in college, is also on the team.
