St. John’s native Luke Adam is hanging up his skates after 20 years of professional hockey.
He made the announcement via X yesterday.
A former St. John’s Celtic, Adam was drafted to the St. John’s Fog Devils, launching his Major Junior career with more than 235 games in the QMJHL.
Adam played 90 NHL games – with the Buffalo Sabres and the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The 35-year-old also played several years in Europe, and served as the first captain of the Tahoe Knight Monsters of the ECHL.
His father, Russ Adam, was an integral player with the St. John’s Capitals of the Newfoundland Senior Hockey League in the mid-80s.
