Prior to joining the Harvard Crimson, Fox played in the U.S. National Team Development Program. During his final season in the program, he led all under-18 defensemen in goals, assists and points.[4] He would finish his career with the third most points by a defenseman in USNTDP history.[4]

Leading up to the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, Fox was ranked 50th for North American Skaters in the final ranking by NHL Central Scouting Bureau.[5] He was eventually drafted 66th overall by the Calgary Flames.[6]

Fox had an immediate impact after joining Harvard University for the 2016–17 season, being named ECAC Rookie of the Year after his freshman season. Fox would also be named to the NCAA First All-American Team and ECAC First All-Star Team in each of his first two seasons. In his freshman season, Fox helped Harvard win the Beanpot for the first time since 1993 by recording a goal and an assist to beat Boston University 6–3.[7] Fox also helped Harvard reach its first Frozen Four series since 1994 and win an Ivy title and ECAC Hockey Championship. In the Frozen Four semi-finals against University of Minnesota Duluth, the Crimson lost 2–1.[8]

On June 23, 2018, Fox's NHL playing rights were traded (along with Dougie Hamilton and Micheal Ferland) to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for Elias Lindholm and Noah Hanifin.[9] On April 30, 2019, Fox's NHL rights were acquired by the New York Rangers in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and what would become a second-round pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft [10][11]. On May 2, Fox signed an entry-level contract with the Rangers.[12]
