Boyd Kane, a free agent winger at the helm of the Hershey Bears when they won the Calder Cup in 2005-06, has signed with the Washing Capitals-Hershey Bears, according to the teams on Saturday. He returns to Hershey after three seasons with Philadelphia Phantoms where he scored 45 goals.
“He was very excited to come back,”said Bears president /GM Doug Yingst told the Patriot News . “And we’re happy to have him back in Hershey and Washington. (He’s) one player that we targeted at the close of the season, knowing we couldn’t have everybody returning after winning the Calder Cup. We again wanted to add experience and leadership to our lineup.”
Kane, 31, was captain of the Phantoms when they won the Calder Cup in 2004-05, and then repeated the feat for Hershey the following season. He is one of two players in AHL history to have captained two different clubs to Calder Cup victories in consecutive season. Dave Fenyves led the Bears and Rochester Americans to championships back in 1987 and 1988. Sphere: Related Content
