In 1986 he played in Switzerland for EHC Olten.

He then returned to the Skipjacks for the first half of the 1987–88 season and then finished the season with the Hershey Bears. While in Baltimore, he recorded 88 games, 43 goals, 70 assists, 113 points, and 66 total penalty minutes. In 1994, Lemieux played 12 roller hockey games in Roller Hockey International with the Pittsburgh Phantoms, during the franchise's only season.
