Brothers Cal and Nolan Foote are proud Canadian-Americans who have made their marks in the same circles.
The sons of legendary Avalanche defenseman Adam Foote were born and mostly raised in Colorado but chose to play international hockey for Canada, where their parents were born. The former triple-A Colorado Thunderbirds stars played major-junior for the Kelowna Rockets in Canada’s Western Hockey League before both became first-round draft picks of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Within six months after being drafted, both won gold medals for Canada at the World Junior Championship — Cal in 2018 and Nolan in January.
