“Foote won’t be remembered for his All-Star appearances – he had none. But throughout his career he remained the measuring stick for all young defensemen. I once remember a scout telling me he often described blueliners in scouting reports as ‘a young Adam Foote, without the mean streak.’ No one had his mean streak.” – Zach Fogg, co-host of Afternoon Drive, Mile High Sports AM 1340
