The Washington Capitals have signed former Manitoba Moose forward Alex Limoges.
A native of Winchester, Virginia, Limoges played for the Washington Little Cubs from 2010-2013. The 25-year-old then went on to play two seasons with the Tri City Storm in the USHL, winning the USHL Championship in 2016. He then spent one season with the Waterloo Blackhawks.
Limoges then went on to play four seasons at Penn State, where he led the nation in scoring in his rookie year with 50 points (23 goals, 27 assists). His 50 points and 23 goals is a Penn State single-season record. The following year, he would help lead Penn State to its first regular season title.
The 6-foot-1 forward would serve as captain his senior year and left the Nittany Lions as the program leader with 0.98 points per game, the third-most points scorer in team history with 125.
Limoges signed his first professional contract with the San Diego Gulls, the Anaheim Ducks AHL affiliate, and had 21 points (11 goals, 10 assists) in just 27 games.
