Another Hershey Bears Calder Cup champion is moving overseas to the KHL
Dinamo Minsk announced Thursday that they have signed forward Alex Limoges to a one-year contract for the 2025-26 season. Limoges became an unrestricted free agent this summer when his second one-year contract with the Capitals expired on July 1.
Limoges, a Winchester, Virginia native and former Penn State forward, won a Calder Cup with the Bears in 2024 after playing his first three professional seasons with the AHL’s San Diego Gulls and Manitoba Moose. In his two seasons in Hershey, Limoges recorded 95 points (41g, 54a) in 115 games.
The 27-year-old was Hershey’s second-leading scorer in their short playoff run this past spring, notching six points (1g, 5a) in eight games. He recorded 13 points (4g, 9a) in 20 postseason games during the Bears’ successful run to the 2024 Cup.
Dinamo finished fourth in the KHL’s Western Conference this past year, advancing to the second round of the Gagarin Cup playoffs, where Traktor Chelyabinsk eliminated them in five games. With Dinamo, Limoges will join fellow former Bears Sam Anas and Zach Fucale.
Limoges did not cross paths with either player in Hershey, but has likely skated with Anas before, as the latter is a Potomac, MD native. Fucale is also new to Dinamo after spending the past two seasons with Traktor.
Several recent members of the Bears have now made the move to the KHL this summer, including Limoges, Riley Sutter, Mike Vecchione, Chase Priskie, and Pierrick Dubé.
