They were looking for a difference fighter, tapping two Swedes and a Finn. Pilsen’s latest signing finally has a Canadian passport: the Indians have signed a contract with striker Luke Adam for a year, they reported on their website.
“Luke played for many years in Germany and consistently scored almost 40 points per season. We expect him to be in the first or second line,” outlined sports manager Tomáš Vlasák.

” href=” has been rolling with our western neighbor since 2016. He left the most significant mark in Mannheim, which he said goodbye to as German champion four years ago.
“We count on him in the first or second line.”
In addition, offensively, he stood out among the others – for example, during the golden playoff, he dazzled in 14 games with five hits and eight assists.
“He has an excellent shot, in addition he is strong in the area in front of the goal and at the bar,” Vlasák calculates his strengths. “We believe he will be a great addition.”
After all, Adam already earned the label of great talent in his youth: he caught the eye of the Sabers’ representative at the 2008 draft, then helped the 20-year-old to silver in the World Cup.
As a player for Buffalo and Columbus, he later made 90 starts in the best hockey league in the world. But he mainly worked in the farm AHL, where he even won the Rookie of the Year award in his first season.
“He has an excellent shot, and he is also strong in the area in front of the goal and at the bar.”
The Russian media recently speculated that he could strengthen Toljatti, but… The classic power forward will take on a key role with the Indian on his chest.
“I’ve only heard great things about Pilsen, so when I was deciding on my upcoming session and she called, I was very interested. I’m really happy that we agreed,” says Adam for the Indian website.
This is the ninth addition to the Pilsen roster. And by the way, the Canadian fighter will meet Jan Piskáček again after years. Together in the past they defended the colors of the Cape Breton Eagles junior team.
