With 45 NHL games, 312 AHL appearances, and most recently 81 games in the PENNY DEL, Brooks brings significant experience and can be deployed both as a winger and a center. Drafted in 2016 by the Toronto Maple Leafs, he has already celebrated a title in his career, winning the Calder Cup in 2018 with the Toronto Marlies, awarded to the champion of the American Hockey League. After his time in Germany, Salzburg marks his second stop in Europe, where he reached the semifinals last season with Munich.

Adam Brooks: “Since I already know the Red Bull program from my time in Munich and my current teammates spoke highly of Salzburg, it was a great opportunity for me to join a championship team. When a team wins four years in a row, you know there is a strong core that understands how to work, prepare, and win. It’s great to be part of such a group and to contribute in any way I can. I believe I can play most forward positions and would describe myself as a smart player with a strong work ethic and a lot of endurance. I have a good sense for positioning on the ice, and my speed with the puck and in forechecking are also part of my strengths. I’m looking forward to joining the guys and getting started as soon as possible.”
