Solar Bears re-sign Foget

ORLANDO, Fla. – The Orlando Solar Bears have announced the club has agreed to terms with forward Mathieu Foget for the 2019-20 season.

The Solar Bears are the ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League's Tampa Bay Lightning and the American Hockey League's Syracuse Crunch.

Foget returns for his second season with the Solar Bears after he was originally acquired on Oct. 18 from the Florida Everblades in exchange for future considerations. Following his acquisition, the 22-year-old tallied 48 points (20g-28a) and added 16 penalty minutes in 66 games, becoming the first rookie to lead Orlando in scoring in a single season. His four shorthanded goals set a new club single-season record, and he also led the team with 181 shots on goal. Foget also appeared in one playoff contest with the Solar Bears before suffering a season-ending injury.

Prior to turning pro, the Orleans, Ontario native played major junior hockey for the Mississauga Steelheads and Ottawa 67’s of the Ontario Hockey League, where he racked up 94 points (34g-60a) and 27 penalty minutes in 100 games. Foget also played at Merrimack College, where he accumulated 16 points (6g-10a) and 10 penalty minutes in 47 games for the Warriors program.
