CHICAGO (AP) — Cal Foote has signed an American Hockey League contract with the Chicago Wolves, making him the fourth of five players acquitted of sexual assault in the high-profile trial of members of Canada's 2018 world junior hockey team to continue his career. The team announced the deal with the soon-to-be 27-year-old defenseman on Monday. Goaltender Carter Hart signed with the NHL's Vegas Golden Knights in mid-October just after the window opened for the players to be eligible for new contracts.
