Luke Adam has announced his retirement from professional hockey.
From St. John’s, Newfoundland, Luke played major junior hockey with his hometown St. John’s Fog Devils of the QMJHL from 2006 to 2008 before being selected by the @BuffaloSabres in the second round of the 2008 @NHL Entry Draft.
Luke continued his junior hockey career for an additional two seasons before turning pro and joining the Portland Pirates, Buffalo’s affiliate club, for the 2010 Calder Cup Playoffs. Luke made his NHL debut the following season on October 26, 2010, and scored his first career NHL goal in his eighth career game on December 7, 2010. After 87 games with the Sabres from 2010 to 2014, Luke joined the Columbus @BlueJacketsNHL in December 2014, and would later play for the New York Rangers’ affiliate in Hartford during the 2015-16 season.
Luke’s professional hockey career continued with Adler Mannheim in Germany the following year, playing three seasons with Mannheim, culminating in a league championship in 2019. Luke played seven seasons in Germany, followed by additional seasons in Czechia and Slovakia, before returning to North America in 2024, where he’d play his final two seasons.
In a statement shared earlier today, Luke noted, “The game of hockey has given me more than I ever could have imagined. I leave with a heart full of gratitude, incredible memories, lifelong friendships, and immense pride in the journey.”
Congratulations on your retirement, Luke, and welcome to the NHL Alumni Association!

You don’t get strength without struggle.
The road to success runs through adversity.

The @nhl AllStar selection process is flawed when the likes of @BuffaloSabres @rasmusdahlin00 is not included in the game. What more does a player need to do??2nd in league Dmen scoring! His smooth play and controlling the games pace reminds me of my boyhood idol, Borje Salming.

A great man, a great friend, and someone we will dearly miss.
ALT The Avalanche organization is beyond sad to hear the news of Peter’s passing. Peter has been there for every season of the Avalanche’s existence and was the voice of the team through so many memorable years, including three Stanley Cup championships. He was a staple in the local hockey community, going back to his years playing at the University of Denver to working nearly 30 years with the Avs. But as good as a hockey man he was, he will be most remembered for being a friend to so many. On behalf of the Avalanche organization, we send our deepest condolences to the entire McNab family. Peter will be greatly missed. -Joe Sakic, president of hockey operations

The NHL's data shows close to 84% of league and club employees identify as white. Black, Indigenous and people of colour make up just under 14%
Davis said the short-term goal is to get that second number up to 25% cbc.ca/1.6620923
