Fogarty grew up in Brantford, Ontario - the same city that Wayne Gretzky had grown up in. Fogarty's talent was apparent right away. Brantford Minor Hockey Association coordinator Bob Coyne told reporters that "he was a star. From the time he put skates on, he was better than everyone else. We had seen Wayne (Gretzky). Wayne had to work at it. His game was outsmarting everybody else. Fogarty's game was outperforming everybody else. That's like comparing a Volkswagen to a Corvette."[1] Wayne Gretzky playing for the Edmonton Oilers in 1984 Wayne Douglas Gretzky, OC (born January 26, 1961) is a former professional ice hockey player and is currently part-owner and head coach of the Phoenix Coyotes. ...

Growing up, Fogarty was a typical 80's Canadian teenager. He listened to Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath, sported a mullet and loved to hang out with his friends. Bryan started drinking at an early age. When he was 15 he was already playing with players who were much older than him because of his exceptional skill level. He would frequent bars and strip clubs with the older players. He was insecure by nature. During his junior hockey days in the OHL he'd take Niagara Falls Thunder coach Bill Laforge aside in the locker room and ask him in a whisper if his teammates hated him. Despite this Bryan was known for his positive attitude and humble demeanor. During his time with the Kingston Canadians he was known as "Tippy" because, according to teammate Marc Laforge "he was always tipsy".[2].

During his NHL days, he sought help on numerous occasions. The Nordiques knew about his problem and trid to help him by sending him to an alcohol rehab clinic in Minnesota, providing a psychologist, and housing him with a family in Quebec City. They also roomed Fogarty with another hockey player who was looking to straighten out his life: John Kordic. Fogarty and Kordic met in a rehab center and became friends immediately. In the fall and winter of '91, Fogarty stayed clean with the help of Kordic. However, in January of 1992, Kordic began using drugs again and died of a heart attack in August of that year. Fogarty blamed himself for Kordic's death. Quebec wound up trading away Fogarty to Pittsburgh in a deal the two sides had agreed upon. Pierre Page who was the Nordiques general manager at the time promised Fogarty he would trade him if he could stay sober for three months. He lasted 12 games with the Penguins, who were unhappy with Fogarty's lack of conditioning.

Playing career Bryan Fogarty is often considered to be one of the greatest hockey talents of all-time, and was an OHL superstar in the late 1980s. He was chosen 1st overall in the 1985 OHL draft by Ken Slater of the Kingston Canadians ahead of future NHLers Adam Graves (6th), Bryan Marchment (12th), Brendan Shanahan (13th), and Jody Hull (14th). Scouts heaped praise upon Fogarty for this hockey sense and puck control. Combined with his 6'2" 205 pound frame, Fogarty's skills made him one of the best junior players in Canadian hockey history. Hockey is any of a family of sports in which two teams compete by trying to maneuver a ball or hard round disc, called a puck, into the opponents net or goal, past the goaltender or goalkeeper (often abbreviated goalie), using a hockey stick. ...
