[edit] Playing Career

Adams has spent most of his career playing in the EPIHL, for teams such as Solihull Barons, Romford Raiders and Guildford Flames. During his late teenage years, Adams also represented Great Brtiain at junior level. Adams' most successful season statistically to date was the 2007/08 season he spent in the ENIHL with Solihull. This is the first and only time he had played a season in British ice hockeys lowest senior league.

He is a highly respected player in the ENIHL as he has a high scoring record. He finished joint 9th for points scoring. However, Adams does commit many minor penalty calls, resulting in 2 minutes in the penalty bin, his worst season in this aspect, was in 2002, when he was with the Birmingham Rockets, he recorded 131 penalty minutes. It is maybe this factor of Adams' game that has prevented him from playing at a higher level.

A majority of Adams' points come through assists, rather than goals, this stastic shows that Adams is always looking to create chances for his teammates.
