Playing career

Foote was selected by the Kelowna Rockets in the 2015 Western Hockey League Draft with the 43rd overall pick, while playing with the Colorado Thunderbirds at the T1EHL under-16 level. Foote's older brother Cal was previously selected by the Rockets in the 2013 draft. [1]

On June 21, 2019, Foote was selected by the Tampa Bay Lightning 27th overall in the 2019 NHL entry draft. Foote again joined his brother Cal in being selected by the same franchise. Cal was previously selected by the Lightning in the 2017 NHL entry draft. Before being drafted, Foote played the past three seasons in the WHL for the Rockets. Foote has skated in 168 career games, recording 68 goals, 70 assists, and 138 points. [2]

On June 25, 2019, Foote was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning. [3]

On February 16, 2020, his contract rights, along with a first round pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, were traded to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for forward Blake Coleman. [4] He started the 2020–21 season with the Binghamton Devils of the American Hockey League (AHL) and was called up to the New Jersey Devils' taxi squad on April 17, 2021. [5] He made his NHL debut the following day against the New York Rangers, and recorded his first NHL point in that game by assisting on a goal by Nico Hischier. [6]

Entering the 2023–24 season, which saw the brothers reunited under contract to the Devils, Foote sustained an upper-body injury in training camp and began the year on injured reserve. Although the initial expectation was that he would return in late November 2023, he did not return to play until February 26, 2024, when he was assigned to the Utica Comets of the AHL on a conditioning loan. [7] [8] [9] Seeing action in four NHL games after his conditioning loan, he recorded one goal. [10]

Foote signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Devils for the 2024–25 season on August 12, 2024. [10]

After five seasons within the Devils organization, Foote left as a free agent upon not being tendered a qualifying offer. On July 1, 2025, Foote was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Florida Panthers for the 2025–26 season. [11]
