Nick Foligno, a professional ice hockey forward, began his NHL career in the 2007–08 season with the Ottawa Senators.[1]
Life and work
He signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Ottawa Senators on March 21, 2007.[2] He performed his father Mike Foligno's trademark "Foligno Leap" celebration after that goal.[1][3] He was named captain of the Blue Jackets on May 20, 2015, becoming the sixth captain in franchise history.[4][5] Foligno was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs in a three-team deal on April 11, 2021.[6][7]
He signed a two-year, $7.6 million contract with the Boston Bruins on July 28, 2021.[8] On October 18, 2007, Foligno netted his first NHL goal, which came against Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price.[1]
What the cited sources add
An NHL.com article from 2017 recounts that Foligno's first NHL goal included a leap as an homage to his father.[3] The same article reports that the Janis Foligno Foundation has raised more than $1.2 million for research and patient care.[9] A 2021 NBC Sports article describes Foligno as an extremely good defensive forward and a stealth Selke candidate.[7] An NHL.com trade announcement confirms that Columbus retained 50 percent of Foligno's salary and San Jose retained 50 percent of the remaining contract.[10]
A 2025 Sports Spectrum article describes the Foligno Face-Off initiative, a partnership with the Chicago Blackhawks, Minnesota Wild, NHL, NHLPA, and the V Foundation for cancer research.[9] An NHL.com article from October 11, 2016, reports that Foligno and his wife donated $1 million to Nationwide Children's Hospital.[11]
