Joining the Detroit Cougars in 1925, Foyston immediately made his presence felt. His lightning-fast speed, dazzling stickhandling, and pinpoint accuracy earned him the nickname "Flash." He led the league in goals twice, mesmerized audiences with his acrobatic shots, and captained the team to their first Stanley Cup victory in 1926. Foyston wasn't just a scorer; he was a playmaker, setting up teammates with deft passes and orchestrating the Cougars' offensive attack.
