Caleb Chase Moffat (b. March 17, 1983 Oakville, Ontario, Canada and d. April 23 2009 Atlanta, Georgia) was a professional ice hockey forward.

Caleb played junior hockey for the (2000-01)Capital Centre Pride of the North American Hockey League (NAHL), the (2001 - 2003) Baie-Comeau Drakkar of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) and the (2003-04) Prince George Spruce Kings of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL).

Calab missed the 2007-08 season after he drove his car off a road near his Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida apartment.

Calab was not wearing a safety belt and was ejected from his car via the sun roof.

Calab came back from his car wreck and played 18 games with the Knoxville Ice Bears (SPHL) in the 2008-09 season with 2 assists and 72 penalty minutes. He was then released January 6, 2009 after a stint on injured reserve.
