PENTICTON — Adam Foote may have a different title this year, but the newly minted Vancouver Canucks head coach hasn't changed much.

"Adam's Adam, you know?" winger Jake DeBrusk said as the Canucks hit the ice Thursday in Penticton, B.C., for the first day of training camp.

“I think he's pretty true to himself, and I think that comes off really well with a guy like me. You know what to expect. And he's pretty clear on what he wants in terms of direction and video and different things.”

Foote has ample experience at Canucks training camps. He first joined the team in January 2023 as an assistant coach to Rick Tocchet.

Tocchet parted ways with the Canucks in April and was later hired as head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers, and Foote later took over the position in Vancouver.
