Serge Dube
“Serge Dube will be greatly missed on the ice,” Bucks President/General Manager and Head Coach Terry Ruskowski said. “He’s one of the big reasons for our success. Serge was a great leader on and off of the ice, and meant so much to the Bucks and the city of Laredo.”
The 30-year-old Dube is the franchises All-Time leader in games played with 381, and has two Championship rings with the Bucks. Dube will continue to work in the Bucks Front Office as a Ticket Executive.
“It’s the right time to walk away from the game,” Dube said. “I love playing in Laredo. I love the fans. I love the City. I’m excited to still be a part of the organization.”
Dube, who is considered one of the best defensemen in the CHL, was honored with the 2006 CHL Most Outstanding Defenseman award, and is a three-time CHL All-Star (’04, ’06, ‘08). He has also been honored with the CHL Player of the Month award in November 2005, and the CHL Player of the Week award in January of 2004.
In his seven seasons in Laredo , Dube is among the all-time franchise leaders in several categories. Besides being the all-time Bucks leader in games played, Dube is fourth all-time in goals scored with 81, second all-time in assists with 245, and second all-time in points with 326. In addition, Dube is tied for fifth all-time in single-season assists, handing out 50 during the Bucks first CHL championship season of 2003-2004. Dube is also tied for sixth all-time with six game-winning goals during the Bucks second CHL championship season of 2005-06.
“The ultimate goal is to win a championship,” Dube said. “And to have won two here means a lot to me. I’ll always remember what it felt like to bring those championships to Laredo .”
