Chris Bourque leaves the KHL




Former Penguin/Capital/Hershey Bear alum Chris Bourque, son of NHL great Ray Bourque has left HK Atlant of the KHL after only 8 games to sign with HC Lugano of the Swiss National League A, even though he had a 2-year contract with Atlant.

Through 8 games, Bourque only had 1 goal and 0 assists.

Unbelievable turn of events for the most recent Calder Cup MVP winner.
