The native of Galt, Ontario played for two years with the Kingston Canadians of the OHA. After scoring 27 goals in 1974-75, he was chosen 18th overall in the 1975 Amateur Draft.
As a first year pro, Forsyth was solid for the AHL's Richmond Robins in 1975-76. The year he joined the dreadful Capitals for one game he scored 47 points and was a tireless worker for the Springfield Indians of the AHL. Forsyth retired after spending the 1977-78 season with the Tulsa Oilers of the CHL.
