Foerster's push toward being top NHL prospect got some help from his brother - BarrieToday.com
Wherever Dawson Foerster went, younger brother Tyson wasn't too far behind.
"Even being two years younger, he was always trying to keep up with Dawson and his buddies," Glen
Foerster recalled of his sons growing up, who could often be found playing hockey in the basement or out on the driveway. "It was a good push for him, always just wanting to try and be better than his brother."
Next week, Barrie Colts forward Tyson Foerster is expected to hear his name called in the first round of the NHL Entry Draft. One of the elite scorers in the draft, Foerster's life-long dream is just around the corner.
But back in those days growing up in Alliston, Tyson just wanted to be like his big brother. When he saw Dawson on the ice playing hockey, a two-year-old Tyson started skating.
"Him and his brother were pretty close growing up," the father remembered of his boys during an interview with BarrieToday. "In every sport, (Tyson) was always pushing and pushing and wanted to be better than his brother, playing a bit of baseball, some lacrosse, ball hockey. A bit of everything. He just always wanted to be the better person."
Glen built a little floor hockey rink for his sons in the basement. They would spend hours running around on a floor that had the lines painted on it along with two nets that got pretty worn down over the years. From mini sticks at first to regular hockey sticks, there was no shortage of action.
As you could imagine, every game between the two siblings was a must-win. Tyson laughs as he recalls just how competitive things got between the two.
"One of us would always come up crying when we were little," recalls the now-18-year-old Foerster. "I was always trying to beat him. I always looked up to him when I was little. He was always better than me, but once I started getting older I started taking over more and more, so it kind of pushed me more."
Which is why Tyson will be thrilled having his brother and the rest of his family right beside him at home on that special day next Tuesday when the draft will be held virtually for the first time in NHL history.
