Foote back in the fold

The Kelowna Rockets will get one of their top players back from an NHL training camp.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have re-assigned forward Nolan Foote back to the Rockets for the 2019-2020 season, which will culminate with the team hosting the Memorial Cup.

The Lightning selected Foote during the first round (No. 27) at the 2019 NHL Draft in Vancouver.

The forward made his preseason debut with Tampa Bay on Wednesday, September 18 against the Carolina Hurricanes. Despite being shut out 2-0 by the Hurricanes, he had an even plus-minus rating while putting two shots on net in 13:53 of playing time.

Last night both Nolan and older brother Cal had the chance to play against the Nashville Predators and Matt Duchene. Duchene lived with the Foote family when he broke into the NHL.
