I am from sudbury and I remember growing up watching Nick play for the Wolves and his dad coaching. I am so happy to see him being so successful and not forgetting where he came from.
Had the pleasure to visit Sudbury almost 25 years ago with our junior team. The trip is still something that I think from time to time. The hospitality we received was something that I was not used to. Thanks Sudbury for awesome trip!
Nick is a class act and a true leader. Nick is a well deserved Captain and CBJ is fortunate to have him leading the team. I have been a fan of Nick since I first observed him with the fans during the losing times and to see him not change, one bit, in these winning times is a testament to his integrity and character. Nick is always gonna be my CBJ Captain. Love ya Nick and your success is well earned. Your mother is one proud ANGEL.
My favorite Ranger growing up was Eddie Giacomin I just loved the guy and was lucky to have met Eddie and all the Rangers as a kid because my late cousin Richie worked for Mr Francis and Ferguson from 1965 to 1978. Eddie was such a class act and is Janis Foligno's Uncle. Anytime I hear or read Sudbury I immediately think Eddie Giacomin. John Ferguson in his book Thunder and Lightning wrote about my cousin on 5 pages calling Richie his Best NY Pal. One time I called my late Aunt Minnie asking if Richie was there and she said Richie and Fergie just left! When my cousin passed in 1999 I wrote John Ferguson and what a great man! Hockey players are such class people and seeing Nick here in this clip was so beautiful. When I see his Dad Mike with him and his brother Marcus it is so great! Such love and respect. RIP Janis Foligno!
Beautiful what a awesome memorial,she would be proud .I Love the North too I actually reside between Sudbury and North Bay and it is Heaven on Earth living here..🍷👍
This is a beautiful video . I was born and raised in Sudbury ,I moved 2 years ago. My Mom also was to be moved to Hospice, they said she wouldn't survive the ride from the hospital to Hospice she passed later that night . Sorry for loss
Fergie's Confectionary! I used to live near there at Shelley Heights on Agincourt. This was a very beautiful residential area and as a bonus it was a 10 minute walk from Cambrian College!
When my grandma went to the hospice it was the winter so we didn’t have the chance to go outside there and enjoy the view, but it was still a great experience there
This is so cool...Love this guy and his family...Nick I check on ur mom weekly...She is resting just up from my daughter...My grandson Noah just adores you...You know his dad well...Bob Chaumont...Always proud of you...❤
I used to go to every Wolves games back in the 70's when they entered the OHA. What an incredible team with the likes of Mike Foligno, Randy Carlyle, Rod Schutt, Ron Duguay, Dave Hunter, Dave Farrish, Dale Hunter etc etc etc. They should have won 3 or 4 Memorial Cups. Now that Nick is with the Leafs I might even cheer for the Leafs in the playoffs for the very first time. lol
Both my Mom and Dad were from Manitoulin Island and met and married in Soult Ste Marie just prior to the depression when they returned to the Manitoulin as farm hands. Both Mom and Dad were orphans After the depression Dad got a job at INCO in Sudbury and so they moved there with my Brother and I. We lived on Pine Street in the west end and i fondly remember ice hockey on frozen ponds and lots of baseball games and I became a "ball boy" for the Sudbury Shamrocks a mine league. The ball yard was at Elm and Regent streets. Bell Park and Lake Ramsey were big attractions in summer. When Dad retired after 38 years they built a cottage or {camp} as Northerners call it at West Arm near St Charles. Back then Sudbury was gritty and very blue collar however reforestation began years ago and so the city is 'greening up: Mom always never missed a chance to say how Sudbury was a real home to them. Years later I realized she meant Sudbury had given them a way out of being poor and for a while homeless. .We had a house, Dad had a job with a company that never missed a payday in all his 38 years there and now had a company pension. To Mom it was salvation and she gave Sudbury full credit. So do I.
hey nick just wanted to ask when you were coached what state was that in? or where exactly was it? if your wondering why im asking... my uncle his name is doug. he is my most favorite uncle ever. when i was younger he told me he was your coach. i thought that was awesome. in 2019 your last home game before christmas i met my uncle in columbus and he said why dont we go to a blue jackets game... after that he said nick is such a nice guy maybe you can meet him after the game. after that i was so excited. turns out he was doing a even more amazing thing and helping out at a children’s hospital. so nick if you ever see this comment just wanted to say your my favorite hockey player and to all the blue jackets your my favorite hockey team even though im your next sate neighbor
from the Area also Dave Taylor , Dave Hannan , Randy Carlise spelt wrong .. The chief from Falconbridge , Topazzinny lol...T Bertuzey i think lol.. Ron Duegay lol... Go Wolves ....
Didn't his dad for play Buffalo and Toronto? I'm forgetting other teams but that's a far travel to play for your teams during the season. Very touchingn piece though especially the segment about his departed mom.
The people here are outstanding you say, well I've lived here my whole life and I would beg to differ on that subject. For example why don't you come around the donovan and see how nice the people are.
He chooses to represent USA in world hockey competition so he is an American.... regardless where he is born... Regardless is he had a dual citizenship.... What's with the no place like home drama✌️ peace
Welcome home Nick, Go Leafs Go

I'll be cheering you on Captain Foligno, CBJ4Life, Captain sir.

i used to have the Calender from one of those years with all those players on it ,,, wow memories
Cant go wrong with a Canadian boy!! Humble, downt to earth kid. A GREAT pickup for the Leafs!
As a life long Leafs fan, I have always like Nick Foligno and his style of game. Glad he gets to come back home, even if it's just for a little while.

Ohio is equally as cold. Once you get to -10C it doesnt matter if its -10, -15 or -25.. its all cold and you need to bundle up
Sudbury hits -40 pretty regularly and the wind is brutally cold. We also get 15 feet of snow on average
@@theepimountainbiker6551 when was the last time sudbury hit -40? LOL definitely not anytime in the last 3 years. -32ish was coldest day of the year
Your father is a cool.
Didn't his dad for play Buffalo and Toronto? I'm forgetting other teams but that's a far travel to play for your teams during the season.
Very touchingn piece though especially the segment about his departed mom.
yes young lady ...
WTF I AM HIS GRANDMAS NEIGHBOR
Im sure i remember your mom in high school and my sister maddy nish sorry for your lose man
The people here are outstanding you say, well I've lived here my whole life and I would beg to differ on that subject. For example why don't you come around the donovan and see how nice the people are.
Fergies is now closed
Yes. Closed a while ago. I grew up right across the street. I used to buy my mom cigarettes for a dollar (I am dating myself).
Was she a teacher your mom ?
Why are you recommending this to me UA-cam
He chooses to represent USA in world hockey competition so he is an American.... regardless where he is born... Regardless is he had a dual citizenship.... What's with the no place like home drama✌️ peace
