Luke Adam (born June 18, 1990) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre currently playing for Düsseldorfer EG of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL). He previously played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Buffalo Sabres, Columbus Blue Jackets. Adam was drafted by Buffalo in the second round, 44th overall, in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Adam began his major junior hockey career with the St. John's Fog Devils of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). He played there for two seasons before being drafted by the Buffalo Sabres in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. The Fog Devils moved to Montreal to become the Montreal Juniors before the 2008–09 season. Adam played there before being traded to the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles. Adam was selected to play for Canada at the 2010 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

On October 26, 2010, Adam made his NHL debut in an away game against the Philadelphia Flyers in a 6–3 Sabres loss.[1] On December 7, 2010, Adam recorded his first NHL goal in an away game against the Boston Bruins.

Adam was tied for the most goals in the American Hockey League (AHL) for the Rochester Americans when he was recalled by the Sabres on November 19, 2013.[2]

On December 16, 2014, Adam was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for Jerry D'Amigo.[3]

On July 3, 2015, Adam signed a one-year, two-way contract as a free agent with the New York Rangers.[4] After attending the Rangers' 2015 training camp, he was reassigned for the duration of the 2015–16 season to the club's AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack. In 59 games with Hartford, he scored 12 goals and 29 points.

In October 2016, Adam signed with Adler Mannheim of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) in Germany.[5]

Following the 2018–19 season, helping Adler Mannheim claim the DEL championship, Adam left as a free agent after three seasons and agreed to a two-year contract with Düsseldorfer EG on May 3, 2019.[6]

Personal life

Adam's father, Russ, played eight games in the NHL for the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1982–83 season.
