BEIJING – Former Union men's hockey player Parker Foo is going down in Olympic history books as the first member of the Chinese men's national team to score a goal in the Olympics.
Foo's goal took place at 19:14 of the second period against Germany on Saturday at the National Indoor Stadium. After a shot from teammate Jake Chelios was blocked, Foo scooped up the rebound and fired it past German goaltender Mathias Niederberger for the score.
Foo was drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks in the fifth round of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft and spent three years in a Union uniform, scoring nine goals with 19 assists for 28 points in 88 games. Parker has played in 67 games in two years at the professional level, including netting seven goals with 10 assists for 17 points so far this season.
China plays Canada next in the final game of group play. Puck drop is scheduled for 8:10 a.m. ET at the National Indoor Stadium.
