Early life
Foerster was born on January 18, 2002, in Alliston, Ontario, Canada[1] to parents Glen and Sheri.[2] He was inspired by his older brother Dawson to begin playing ice hockey, leading their father to build a floor hockey rink in their basement.[3]
Playing career
Growing up, Foerster played with the Barrie Minor Midget Colts, recording 20 goals and 41 assists in 34 regular-season games, before being selected in the third round, 55th overall of the 2018 Ontario Hockey League (OHL) Priority Selection Draft.[4] During his second season, Foerster recorded six points against the Mississauga Steelheads setting of a point streak through 13 straight games which including six consecutive multi-point efforts.[5] National Hockey League (NHL) scouts noted he showed stark improvement in play and goal scoring, setting career-highs in both goals and assists.[6] Foerster described himself as a "shoot first player with a strong playmaking ability."[7]
As a result of his play, Foerster rose from the 41st ranking by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau in January to the 21st by April.[8] He was invited to the 2020 CHL Top Prospects Game where he scored two goals and was named Player of the Game for Team White.[9] He was eventually drafted 23rd overall by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft and signed an entry-level contract with the team on October 14, 2020.[10]
With the hiatus of the OHL due to the ongoing pandemic, Foerster attended the Flyers training camp in preparation for the 2020–21 season. On January 13, 2021, he was re-assigned by the Flyers to AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms training camp, in order to continue his development.[11] In his first game with the Phantoms, on February 6, 2021, Foerster had an awkward collision with a Hershey Bears player that resulted in a broken tibia for Foerster.[12] He is expected to miss 3-4 weeks.
