About Travis Moen

Travis Shawn Moen (born April 6, 1982) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey winger. He was selected in the fifth round, 155th overall, by the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League (NHL) in the 2000 NHL entry draft and previously played for the Chicago Blackhawks, Anaheim Ducks, with whom he won the Stanley Cup in 2007, San Jose Sharks, Montreal Canadiens, and Dallas Stars. == Playing career == === Junior === Moen joined the Kelowna Rockets of the Western Hockey League (WHL) as a list player in the 1998-99 season playing four games, before spending three full seasons with the team from 1999–2002. His final season was his best in a Rockets uniform, as Moen registered 27 points along with nearly 200 penalty minutes. === Professional === Moen was drafted in the fifth round, 155th overall in the 2000 NHL entry draft by the Calgary Flames, but was never signed to a contract by the Flames and remained in the WHL. As an unrestricted free agent, Moen was signed by the Chicago Blackhawks in 2002. The Blackhawks assigned him to play for their then-American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Norfolk Admirals, for the 2002–03 season. Moen managed to make the Blackhawks in 2003–04 and played all 82 games that season. The year after, he played for the Admirals due to the 2004–05 NHL lockout. Before the 2005–06 season, Moen was traded to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in exchange for Mikael Holmqvist on July 30, 2005. He played 39 games for the Mighty Ducks that season, and appeared in his first Stanley Cup playoff game, also scoring his first playoff goal in a game against the Colorado Avalanche on May 5, 2006.
