The Hershey Bears retired Chris Bourque’s number 17 on January 14, 2023, before its game against the Springfield Thunderbirds. The Bears would go on to win later that night 6-2 after getting goals from top prospects Hendrix Lapierre and Connor McMichael.
The Hershey Bears went all out to celebrate Bourque that night, giving all fans mini banners as they entered Giant Center and holding a touching 30-minute pregame ceremony that included all of Bourque’s family in attendance.
“The best years of my life were playing in Hershey,” Bourque said. “I’ve had so many nights in Hershey that will be with me forever. Tonight is one of those nights.”
The NHL Network named former Capitals forward Eric Fehr to its All Winter Classic Team on Wednesday along with Henrik Zetterberg, Vladimir Tarasenko, Duncan Keith, Kris Letang, and Henrik Lundqvist.

Former Capitals forward Eric Fehr spent 34 games in the AHL this season, but got a new lease on his NHL life at the trade deadline.
The Toronto Maple Leafs dealt Fehr, who they had previously loaned to AHL San Diego, to the Sharks for a seventh-round pick. Since then, Fehr has primarily served as the Sharks fourth line center.
After scoring three goals in 14 regular season games with San Jose, Fehr found the back of the net in the postseason for the first time, Tuesday night. Fehr’s second period goal helped the Sharks’ thrash the Ducks 7-1 during Game Three of their first-round series.
The Sharks now lead 3-0.
Former Capital Eric Fehr is on the move again.
Tuesday afternoon, Pierre LeBrun reported that the Toronto Maple Leafs traded the Capitals all-time leader in outdoor goals to the San Jose Sharks for a seventh round pick.
Long road trips for hockey players can be quite boring. Between the planes and buses, hotel stays, and long days away from friends and family, players often find other activities to fill their days.
Sometimes that involves playing poker, watching movies, or sightseeing, but as the weather gets colder in a majority of the hockey cities, the less site-seeing seems appealing.
Then you have Jay Beagle, who, according to Sports Illustrated’s Alex Prewitt, has compiled an army of Capitals players who all love playing Risk.

Stanley Cup champion Eric Fehr left DC more than two years ago. In those two years, he has now been placed on waivers twice: once by the Pittsburgh Penguins and now by the Toronto Maple Leafs.
On Monday, after officially signing defenseman Roman Polak to a contract, the Leafs began the process of removing Fehr from their roster. Dominic Moore beat Fehr out for the team’s fourth-line center role and it looks like the Leafs are choosing to carry eight defensemen.

On Wednesday night, Eric Fehr played his first game in a month — and his first in a Toronto Maple Leafs uniform. He did okay — getting outshot 12 to 9, winning all four faceoffs he took, and eating up about ten minutes of ice — but today doesn’t look good for Winkler, Manitoba native and former Brandon Wheat King.
Toronto Sun writer Lance Hornby reports that Fehr may have suffered a broken hand. He could be done for the season.
