The Islanders signed forward Liam Foudy to a one-year, two-way contract extension, the team announced Tuesday.
Foudy, who has spent almost all of his time under contract with the Isles in the AHL, appeared in just one NHL game last season. It wasn’t until the final contest of the 2025-26 campaign against the Hurricanes on April 14.
“I’ve watched Foudy since junior. His speed is always the first thing that pops. And everybody’s looking for speed,” head coach Pete DeBoer said when the team called him up.

There’s always guys that get it a little bit later than others. That doesn’t necessarily mean you’re gonna hit on all those guys. And it might be one out of 10. If you can get that one out of 10 guy that is that late bloomer, that took a little bit longer, that becomes a really effective NHL player, a lot of teams have them, that’s a big bonus for an organization. I think it’s important to keep those guys on your radar.”
Having played for three NHL organizations in his career, Foudy has collected 22 points (seven goals, 15 assists) through 105 games.

His 47 points were also ranked second on Bridgeport, behind only Adam Beckman (51 points).
