Founder & Director
Adam began Transform in 2017 and has had the privilege of working with athletes of all sports and all ages, including NHL stars.
After his playing career with the Saskatoon Blades of the WHL, Adam got degrees in both Exercise Science and Sports Management at Griffith University while playing for the Newcastle North Stars in the AIHL, and representing Team Australia at the IIHF World Championships.
Upon graduating, Adam became a certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) while coaching the Island Royals U18AAA Team. While coaching, Adam began Transform with 8 local hockey players - many of which went on to play Jr. A, college and pro hockey.
Fast forward 7 years and Transform is now home to over 1000 athletes. Transform hosts a wide array of programs and teams in our brand new performance centre.
Adam has expanded Transform into more than just a training facility, now including a full-time Transform Hockey Academy. The Academy provides elite players with strength training, on-ice skill development and academics. Adam’s latest venture is the formation of Transforms first hockey team - the Transform Predators.
Adam takes an all encompassing approach to athlete development and focuses on much more than strength to build a complete athlete. Once a foundation is developed, Adam tailors training to individual needs and sport-specific focuses. Adam thrives on providing a positive and energetic environment to get the most out of each athlete whether it is in the gym, on the ice, or in the classroom.
