Cal Foote has officially signed with the AHL's Chicago Wolves, a significant move as the defenseman seeks to revitalize his career after a challenging stint in the NHL. Previously drafted by the Tampa Bay Lightning, Foote has seen limited ice time at the NHL level, leading to his decision to join the Wolves for the upcoming season.
Foote's professional journey began when he was selected in the first round of the 2017 NHL Draft, and while he showed promise, he struggled to establish himself as a consistent presence on the blue line. His time with the Lightning included some notable games, but ultimately, he didn't secure a permanent roster spot, leading to his exit from the organization.
In Chicago, Foote hopes to leverage this opportunity to showcase his skills and leadership capability in the AHL.

The Chicago Wolves have a history of nurturing talent, making this a promising opportunity for him.
As the AHL season approaches, all eyes will be on Foote as he dons the Wolves jersey. His performance in the AHL may determine his future path back to the NHL, where he aims to prove that he belongs among the league's elite defensemen.
