Brett Foy of the Mississauga Majors is a very smart hockey player. Foy is very good in all three zones and he is a responsible player who plays well without the puck. When Foy has the puck he is very good at protecting it. He is good along the walls. I had the chance to coach Brett for a weekend in a prospects tournament when Brett was 15 years old. Brett showed me that he is a a very coachable, intelligent and hardworking player. Foy is the type of player that any coach would want on his team because he plays so smart and is so aware all over the ice. He is a good faceoff man, kills penalties and is starting to put points on the board. Brett is a very good skater and has started to use his burst and a change of speed to his advantage. NHL scouts I sat with in multiple games have taken notice, because the skills he possesses convert nicely to the pro game. The Majors coaches figured him out quickly and he has played in crucial situations all year long.
Melissa Perri chatted with the Niagara Falls native last week about his season so far.
