Union hockey’s Foo brothers headed to Olympics – Times Union

Daniel Carr isn't the only former Union College hockey player who's headed to the Olympics.

Spencer and Parker Foo, brothers who played for the Dutchmen, will represent host China in the Beijing Winter Games, according to the Chinese roster posted on the Olympics website.

Carr is playing for his native Canada, which announced its roster on Tuesday. The Foo brothers, who grew up in Edmonton, are of Chinese descent. They're currently teammates for HC Kunlun Red Star, a Kontinental Hockey League team that plays in Beijing.

They're the first three Union hockey players be named Olympians.

The Chinese men's hockey team opens Olympic play on Feb. 10 against the United States. It will face Canada and Carr on Feb. 13.

The Foo brothers did not play together at Union. Spencer scored 49 goals for the Dutchmen from 2014 to 2017, followed by Parker, who had nine goals from 2017 to 2020.

Spencer Foo played four games for the NHL's Calgary Flames during the 2017-18 season.

Efforts to reach their parents, Diane and John, were unsuccessful.

On the Chinese roster, Spencer and Parker Foo are listed by the names Jiang Fu and Shuai Fu, respectively.
