Travis Moen

Travis Moen is a former professional winger whose journey from the grain belt of Canada to the pinnacle of the NHL is a testament to the enduring spirit of the sport. Hailing from a farm near Stewart Valley, Sask., he was instilled with a strong work ethic and a deep sense of responsibility at a young age.

Before junior hockey, Moen played minor hockey for the Under-18 AAA Swift Current Legionnaires, where he collected 56 points in 56 games during the 1998-99 season. He then embarked with the Kelowna Rockets in the Western Hockey League (WHL), spending three transformative seasons from 1999 to 2002.

Although Moen was drafted by the Calgary Flames in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft, his path into the league took a unique turn. He remained unsigned and continued his development in the WHL. However, the Chicago Blackhawks recognized his potential and assigned him to their then-American Hockey League affiliate, the Norfolk Admirals. Moen's determination earned him a full-time spot on the Blackhawks' roster in the 2003-04 season. A pivotal moment in Moen's career occurred when he was traded to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim where he quickly became an essential part of the team during the 2005-06 season. It was during his time with the Ducks that he showcased his ability to rise to the occasion.

The 2006-07 Ducks' playoff journey saw Moen emerge as a clutch player, with a game-winning goal in the Western Conference semi-final and two in the Stanley Cup final, helping Anaheim secure its only league championship. Notably, he is credited with the Stanley Cup series-winning goal after an own goal by the Ottawa Senators in Game 5, thus solidifying his place in hockey history.

Moen's 12-season journey continued with the San Jose Sharks, Montreal Canadiens, and finally the Dallas Stars. In 2016, Moen announced his retirement, marking the end of an illustrious career featuring 830 NHL games and 155 points.

Today, Moen's name stands as a testament to the determination, perseverance, and passion that defines the province’s hockey legends. His name is proudly etched into the Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame, celebrating his remarkable impact on the game of hockey.
