Forever the first! History will remember that Pierrick Dubé became, on the night of Monday to Tuesday, the first Frenchman to lift the Calder Cup, rewarding the winner of the AHL championship, the second North American level.

A 58-point season in the AHL
And leaving his mark. On the night of Monday to Tuesday, during the decisive match, the 23-year-old winger scored a hat-trick allowing his team, the Hershey Bears, to win 5-4 after overtime against the Coachella Valley Firebirds. A success completing the victory by 4 wins to 2 in the AHL final series. This is the second consecutive title for the Bears and the 13th in their history.
Arriving with the Bears this season, Dubé finished his exercise with 28 goals and 48 points in the regular season, then 7 goals and 10 points in the play-offs. His next goal could be Olympic qualification with the French team at the end of August.
