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.
