Minor hockey

Foote grew up playing hockey for the Brooklin-Whitby Minor Hockey Association (OMHA). He was a minor hockey teammate of former NHL'er Keith Primeau for several years leading their teams to several OMHA "AA" Championships in the early 1980's.

After a successful Midget season with Brooklin-Whitby's AA team, Foote was a 2nd round underage choice (21st overall) of the S.S. Marie Greyhounds in the 1988 OHL Priority Selection.

Foote went on to play three OHL seasons with the Greyhounds - his last season for future NHL head coach Ted Nolan.
