The Washington Capitals have signed former Manitoba Moose forward Alex Limoges.
A Winchester, VA, native, Limoges played for the Washington Little Caps from 2010-2013. The 25-year-old then went on to play two seasons with the Tri City Storm of the USHL, and won a 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 sophomore year with 50 points (23 goals, 27 assists). His 50 points and 23 goals are a Penn State single-season record. The following year he would help lead Penn State to its first Big Ten regular season title.
The 6-foot-1 forward would serve as the captain in his senior year and left the Nittany Lions as the program leader with 0.98 points per game, and third most points in team history with 125.
Limoges signed his first pro contract with the San Diego Gulls, the Anaheim Ducks AHL affiliate, and had 21 points (11 goals, 10 assists) in only 27 games.
