Adrian Foster (born January 15, 1982) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey centre. He was selected 28th overall during the first round of the 2001 NHL Entry Draft by the New Jersey Devils.
Playing career
Although drafted by the New Jersey Devils, Foster never appeared in an NHL game. His professional journey featured time with AHL squads including the Albany River Rats, Lowell Devils, and Houston Aeros. Additionally, he competed in Europe with EC Red Bull Salzburg in the Austrian Hockey League, Dinamo Riga in the Kontinental Hockey League, and in Germany’s DEL with both the Frankfurt Lions and Straubing Tigers.
At the beginning of the 2011–12 campaign, Foster made his way back to North America by signing with the Lake Erie Monsters of the AHL on October 18, 2011. Due to injuries, he was limited to only eight contests before transferring to Germany’s Grizzly Adams Wolfsburg on February 1, 2012, where he completed the season.
After remaining unsigned at the start of the 2012–13 season, Foster agreed to a one-year deal with the Idaho Steelheads of the ECHL on October 17, 2012. He marked his debut with four assists in a thrilling 7-6 shootout victory against the Colorado Eagles that same evening.
