Adam is fast developing his netminding style, he is a keen learner and is willing to do his homework in order to better his game. Adam is also willing to lend a hand where he can, and will always help to better the game of his team-mates, which makes him a popular figure in the team.
Adam is a keen amateur psychopath, volunteering to go in goal whenever the opportunity presents itself, and only rarely playing as an outskater, usually to give someone else a chance to play in the nets. Once listed his talents as "Falling over, crashing into the boards, crashing into the net, crashing into people, getting in the way, wrapping fish and chips in newspaper."
In the scrimmage game against Blackburn Thunder on July 16th 2006, Adam posted a shut-out in the 4-0 win having earlier completed a parachute jump for charity.
