Playing career

Limoges raising the Calder Cup in 2024

Limoges was a good scorer during his days in junior hockey and helped the Tri-City Storm win the Clark Cup in 2016. He began his college career in 2017 with Penn State and provided complimentary scoring as a freshman. While he couldn't stop the team from winning 7 fewer games than they had the year before, he did join the team for their appearance in the NCAA Tournament.[2] For his sophomore season, Limoges came charging out of the gate and never looked back. Scoring in bunches throughout the season, he broke the program record for the most points in one year and ended up finishing in a tie for the national scoring lead. His exploits led the Nittany Lions to a 22-win season and put them in the Big Ten championship game. Due to the PairWise rankings, both Penn State and their opponent, Notre Dame, needed to win the game to reach the NCAA Tournament. Unfortunately for Limoges, he was held off the scoresheet and PSU fell 2–3.[3]

As an upperclassman, Limoges was unable to continue his high levels of scoring and while he remained one of the team's top forwards, he was never again in contention for the national scoring crown. Despite his declining offensive production, Penn State finished atop the Big Ten in 2020 and were all but guaranteed a return to the NCAA Tournament. Their shot at a championship was wiped away when the COVID-19 pandemic forced the NCAA to cancel all winter and spring tournaments.[4] The pandemic also forced the start of the following season to be delayed, but Limoges returned, this time serving as team captain. While he averages a point per game for the year, Limoges' team was not nearly as sharp as it had been over the previous three seasons and the Nittany Lions finished with a losing record for the first time since 2014.

After Penn State was eliminated from contention, Limoges signed a try-out contract with the San Diego Gulls for the remainder of the season and performed well at the AHL level. He re-signed with the club for the 21–22 season.[5]

As an undrafted free agent following a productive 2021–22 season in the AHL, Limoges was signed to a one-year, entry-level contract with the Winnipeg Jets on July 14, 2022.[6] In the 2022–23 season, Limoges continued his career in the AHL by joining Jets affiliate, the Manitoba Moose, and tallied a career high 34 assists and 54 points through 63 games.

As a free agent at the conclusion of his contract with the Jets, Limoges was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Washington Capitals on July 3, 2023.[7]

On July 4, 2024, the Capitals signed Limoges to a one-year, two-way contract for the 2024–25 season.[8] For the second consecutive season he was assigned and played the entirety of the season with AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears, collecting 44 points through 54 regular season games.

Leaving the Capitals organization following two seasons, Limoges signed his first professional contract abroad after agreeing to a one-year deal with Belarusian club, HC Dinamo Minsk of the KHL, on July 31, 2025.[9]
