Hershey Bears Announce Hall of Fame Class for 2016

With a new season already underway, the Caps’ American Hockey League affiliate Hershey Bears have announced the newest inductees into the team Hall of Fame.

The newest inductees include players Mitch Lamoureaux, Mike Mahoney, and Bobby Perreault, as well as Charles “Chuck” Hamilton, who is entering as a builder. Bears General Manager Bryan Helmet released the following statement:

“It is with complete respect and admiration that we happily add these four outstanding individuals to the Hershey Bears Hockey Club Hall of Fame,” Helmer said. “They have earned this distinction, and they should be proud of all they have accomplished while being a part of this historic franchise.”

The inductees will be enshrined in Sunday, December 18 before the Bears-Springfield Falcons game at GIANT Center. The Bears Hall of Fame is located on the GIANT Center concourse.
