After his playing career came to an end due to injury, Kevin got into coaching. He went back to his junior team and became an Assistant Coach with the Spokane Chiefs. When coaching came to an end, broadcasting became a new opportunity. Kevin started with some Spokane Chiefs television broadcasts and that eventually turned into working with the WHL on SHAW TV. After a few seasons of doing WHL games across Western Canada, he landed his current job on the TSN broadcasts of the Winnipeg Jets.

Mooner goes Top Cheddar! This episode, we dive into the behind the scenes of how Cam Moon, our beloved co-pilot of the Top Cheddar show, became the new radio voice of the Edmonton Oilers.
He paid his dues for over 20 years in the WHL as the voice of the Red Deer Rebels and finally got his well deserved big shot. And that shot came in a hurry.
Along with what the first couple weeks have been like, Cam shares the story of being traded multiple times his one year in Junior in a way that some call it the Cam Moon rule. A great story you’ll want to hear.
