Taras Foremsky (born February 15, 1980) is a Canadian retired ice hockey forward.
Foremsky began his hockey career in his local league, the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL), where he spent three seasons plying his trade with four different teams putting up 212 points. The 2001–02 season was a bleak one for Foremsky only playing 10 games for Merrimack College of the NCAA. One year on and Foremsky had joined up with the Mount Royal College Cougars of the Alberta College's Athletic Hockey Conference (ACAC) posting 70 points in 28 games for the Cougars, leading the league in points, being picked for the first all-star team, receiving League MVP and setting a new league record for goals in a season.
Going pro
At the end of the successful 2002–03 season Foremsky was given a short-term contract with the Pensacola Ice Pilots of the ECHL grabbing 1+3 from 6 regular season games. The following years were uncertain for Foremsky, who represented 7 teams in 3 seasons, starting with Hassfurt in Germany before moving back to North America and the CHL with San Angelo and Fort Worth. The 2004/05 season was more successful than those that it had proceeded, with Foremsky suiting up for the Torino Bulls of the Serie A, for whom he finished 2nd in goals, assists, points and penalty minutes for the team. The 2005/06 season was again unsettled, with Foremsky playing in the UHL (Flint Generals), SPHL (Jacksonville Barracudas) and CHL (Memphis Riverkings).
