Summary
Evan Foster is an honour student, entrepreneur, coach and elite athlete. Throughout his high school career, Foster balanced his time around his studies in the Advanced Placement program while maintaining a 90 per cent average.
He also led the Redmond Respects anti-bullying committee and reached out to peers, teachers and parents about mental illness awareness. Athletics were another outlet where Foster excelled. He earned the male Physical Education Award for highest mark in grade nine and ten, and participated on the tennis, lacrosse and ski teams.
Outside of school, he competed in races and triathlons, and took part in baseball and soccer. But, his biggest love is playing hockey. Evan has been playing for the Humber Valley Sharks for nine years and quickly moved up the ranks as a goalie for the AA team last season.
Foster turned his love for hockey and coaching into a personal business and has been running private and team goalie training since grade nine. Foster is currently studying biomedical science at the University of Guelph where he plans to pursue a career as a doctor in rehabilitative medicine.
