Playing career[]
Adam enjoyed a very successful junior career playing four seasons for the Brampton Battalion of the Ontario Hockey League. He tied four Battalion playoff records, including most games played (32) and most power-play goals (4) in a career. His 97 career Battalion goals rank second all-time to the 111 scored by current Columbus Blue Jacket, Raffi Torres.
Adam had his strongest year for the Norfolk Admirals of the American Hockey League in the 2007-08 season. His strength with the puck, intelligence and leadership, made for an easy free agent pick up by the Pittsburgh Penguins brass.
