Mathieu Perreault

Chris Bourque’s jersey retirement with Hershey Bears included shoutouts from Jay Beagle and Mathieu Perreault

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.”

Former Capitals Daniel Sprong and Dennis Cholowski set to be UFAs after not being tendered qualifying offers

Daniel Sprong scored six goals in 16 games for the Seattle Kraken after the Washington Capitals dealt him at the trade deadline. That goal-scoring clip was not enough for the Dutchman to earn a qualifying offer and a 10 percent raise ($797k) from the Kraken, a team who scored the fourth-fewest goals in the NHL last season.

Dennis Cholowski, a depth defenseman who was a waiver wire pickup by the Capitals last season (before being reclaimed back by Seattle), also did not receive a qualifying offer from the Kraken. Seattle announced the news on social media before Monday’s 5 PM deadline.

Both players will be unrestricted free agents on Wednesday per the team.

Nine Washington Capitals players were a part of that group highlighted by Pheonix Copley, Paul LaDue, and Shane Gersich.

Welp, they finally did it, the Winnipeg Jets have completely ruined our sweet son Mathieu Perreault

“Dark, cold, Internet is a little questionable.”That’s how Sharks defenseman Justin Braun describes the desolate, park-less wasteland of Winnipeg, a hellscape that naive minds might think could only exist in grim-dark fiction like A Song of Ice and Fire or Downton Abbey but is actually a real place located in a remote region the locals call Man-i-toba.

Long ago, a sweet Quebecois boy named Matty left his homes in pre-Trump DC and Disneyfied Anaheim to seek his fortune in Winnipeg.

And all it cost him was everything.

That Moment Mathieu Perreault Met His Biggest Fan, Matthew Perreault

In the 2006 NHL Draft, the Washington Capitals selected tiny QMJHL centerman Mathieu Perreault with the 77th overall pick, and RMNB fell in love. During his time in Washington’s organization, Perreault won two Calder Cups in Hershey and played on the President’s Trophy-winning Caps team. He was a dazzling possession player for the Caps before the team had an analytics department. And we can’t forget about the #PerryCellys and onesies.

A few years ago, the Caps traded away the man we once called Perreaultcho-cinco to make room for first-round pick Tom Wilson. Now Perreault, continuing to blossom as a player, has a new biggest fan. His name is Matthew Perreault.

I’ll let his dad Danny Perreault explain.
