Career

Foote played in his youth for Brooklin-Whitby in the Ontario Minor Hockey Association's game operations . Together with his teammate Keith Primeau , who later also started a successful career in the National Hockey League , he led the team to several AA championships of the OMHA in the early 1980s. After another successful season with Brooklin-Whitby the defender was OHL Priority Selection , the teams of professional Canadian junior league in the Ontario Hockey League to secure the rights to young talent, as "underage choice" ( German  choice of a minor player ) as a total of 21st in the second round by the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds selected. For this he was already on the ice from the following season in the OHL. In total, the right-shooter spent three seasons at Sault Ste. Marie , last season under his future NHL coach Ted Nolan . He won the 1991 J. Ross Robertson Cup , the OHL championship trophy, and was also elected to the league's first all-star team.

At the NHL Entry Draft in 1989 , Adam Foote was selected by the Nordiques de Québec as 22nd in the second round and in 1991 changed to their organization . After only six games with the farm team Halifax Citadels in the American Hockey League , the Canadian was appointed to the NHL squad of the Nordiques during the 1991/92 season , where he immediately became a regular player and which he held until the franchise moved to Denver in the US state of Colorado . With the Nordiques Foote reached the play-offs for the first time in 1993 , but failed there, as in 1995 , in the first round.

In Denver, the Nordiques played from the 1995/96 season as the Colorado Avalanche . In his first year in Colorado, Adam Foote won the Stanley Cup with the team for the first time in his career , after the Florida Panthers were defeated in the final in four games by a sweep . With the Avalanche, the defender reached the play-offs in the following years without exception and won seven more division titles until the franchise was finally able to repeat the success of the Stanley Cup win in 2001. After the lockout in the 2004/05 NHL season , which had to be canceled due to a player strike and in which Foote, unlike many colleagues, did not join a lower-class or European team, the Canadian moved to the Columbus Blue after nine years at the Colorado Avalanche Jackets . There he signed a three-year contract worth 13.5 million US dollars on August 1, 2005 . After initially holding the post of assistant captain, the right-handed shooter was appointed captain of the team after Luke Richardson resigned in December of the same year.

Adam Foote missed the play-offs twice with the Columbus Blue Jackets and was finally transferred back to the Colorado Avalanche just two hours before the 2008 trade deadline in exchange for a first-round draft right. That same evening, the Canadian was on the ice from the second third against the Calgary Flames for the Avalanche. On June 30, 2008, the defender extended his contract in Denver, which was endowed with three million US dollars per season, for two more years.

When longtime captain Joe Sakic resigned from active sport before the start of the 2009-10 season , Foote was named the new captain. This made him only the second captain in the history of the franchise after Sakic. His expiring contract was extended for another season at the end of the season, but at significantly lower salaries. Adam Foote announced his retirement from the sport as a player at the end of the 2010-11 NHL season on April 8, 2011 . He played his last game for Colorado on April 10, in a 4-3 overtime win against the Edmonton Oilers, and in 2013 he finally took on an official role in the Avalanche franchise. He held this position for several years before taking over the position of head coach of the Kelowna Rockets in the Western Hockey League in October 2018 . There he now trains his son Nolan , among others , who is considered a promising talent for the 2019 NHL Entry Draft .

International

Adam Foote won the gold medal with the Canadian national ice hockey team at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City , and he was also able to celebrate winning the World Cup of Hockey with the team in 2004 . The defensive player also represented Team Canada at the 1998 Olympic Games and 2006 Olympic Games as well as at the 1996 World Cup of Hockey .
