Cal Foote has signed a professional tryout contract with the Chicago Wolves, the American Hockey League affiliate of the Carolina Hurricanes. Foote, a former first-round pick of the Tampa Bay Lightning, boasts significant experience in the league and is expected to strengthen the Wolves' defensive lineup. After playing parts of three seasons with the Lightning, he found limited ice time last year and was eventually placed on waivers.

This move comes as the Wolves gear up for another season, looking to contend for the Calder Cup. With Foote's skills and experience, the defense is likely to see improvements as they face tough competition. His addition signals the Wolves’ commitment to blending experienced players with promising talent within the organization.

Foote previously represented Canada at various international levels, contributing to his well-rounded game. Hockey fans will be eager to see how his integration into the Wolves' system unfolds, providing a potential boost not only for his game but also for the team's overall performance.
