Adam goes national with CHL honor

Luke Adam has been named CHL Player of the Week for February 15th-21st, edging Spokane's Mitch Wahl (WHL) and Sarnia's Tyler Peters (OHL).

Adam led the Screaming Eagles to three wins picking up two three-point games to finish the week including his best effort played on Sunday where he was named first star of a 4-1 win over the Halifax Mooseheads scoring two goals including the game-winner and adding one assist. He also scored a goal and two assists Friday night in a 6-4 win over the Mooseheads, after contributing a single assist in a 5-3 win over the Shawinigan Cataractes on Wednesday.

Adam, a 19-year-old from St. John’s, NL, is playing in his fourth QMJHL season and first with the Screaming Eagles after two seasons with the St. John’s Fog Devils and competing last season with the Montreal Juniors. Adam, a second round pick of the Buffalo Sabres in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft and member of Canada’s National Junior Team, leads the league with 43 goals and is ranked third overall in points with 79 in 48 games played.
