This time around it was 16-year-old Duncan, who like older brother Alan will represent Canada abroad this summer.
He'll do so at the Pan-Am Championships in San Salvador, after coming out on top at the Under-18 National Team Trials in Saskatoon.
Upgrading last year's silver, the 58-kilogram grappler dominated the competition with a 4-0 run -- never losing a round and surrendering just two points all day.
The last of those came in the final, where -- faced with his only real adversity of the trials -- Moffat delivered some of his family's trademark defensive prowess to edge Alberta's Daniel Hernandez 2-0, 2-1.
This followed three commanding wins, including one by decision and another via opening-round pin-fall.
Moffat becomes the third Milton wrestler this year to earn a spot on a national team -- joining big brother and fellow standout Kevin Iwasa-Madge -- while he and OFSAA champ Bobby Fillman should be legitimate contenders for a berth onto the Canadian squad that'll be headed to October's Commonwealth Youth Games in India.
The team trials victory highlighted a prosperous weekend for the younger Moffat, who was also one of two Dynamo Wrestling Club veterans to capture bronze at the Canadian Juvenile Championships Saturday.
With 76 kg grappler Jared Robb, 17, reaching the podium as well, the Dynamos enjoyed a multi-medal showing for just the second time ever at the Under-19 national level.
Both Dynamos went 5-1 and overaome adversity in their bronze-medal matches to prevail.
With a successful protest of a first-round loss giving him a huge second chance against B.C.'s Spencer Watkins, Robb came through with a clutch two points in the dying seconds of a tiebreaker to win 3-2.
With the exception of a quarterfinal loss, Robb was dominant on the way to securing bronze -- engineering a spectacular five-point throw and automatic pin to clinch one victory and turning back two other adversaries in convincing fashion.
Rallying from his only loss -- a semifinal defeat to defending and soon-to-be two-time champion Kirk Ackerman of Saskatchewan -- Moffat delivered a couple of hard-fought wins to place third. He reached the bronze-medal showdown with a 2-1, 1-1 triumph in the dying seconds and then scored straight 2-1 decisions over highly-regarded Harvie Sahota of B.C. after dropping the opening round 1-0.
He'd also need three rounds to win his second match, while he blanked his first and third opponents.
