As Adam Tisdale wraps up his college career on the ice, he reflects on his unique journey and the bromance he made along the way.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n By Avery Williamson\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Adam Tisdale\u2019s hockey career began 22 years ago in Cochrane, Alberta. All around him, people were learning how to play hockey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBeing from Canada, playing hockey is basically like religion,\u201d Adam said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He also watched his dad and brother having a blast skating around the rink. When he was only three years old, he decided to <\/span>follow in theirfollow their<\/span> footsteps \u201cand loved hockey ever since.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n After 14 years of playing, he realized he wanted to play collegiate hockey. \u201cI had been playing junior league hockey and I heard about college hockey in the states and I knew it was something I wanted to do.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He started his collegiate career at Clarkson University in New York in 2018. During the 2018-19 season, Adam had eight assists. The following season, he recorded eight goals and two assists for a total of 10 points.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Adam then transferred to Sacred Heart University in Connecticut for the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons. During his first season at SHU, he secured one assist. The following year, he tallied two goals and five assists for a total of seven goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n After playing for Sacred Heart, Adam had one more season of eligibility left due to COVID-19. He entered the transfer portal and Associate Head Coach Trevor Stewart reached out to him. \u201cHe told me that the program was coming back and sold me on UAA,\u201d said Adam.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt was hard to say no to helping rebuild a new program. You can mold the team however you want to. That\u2019s something that really piqued my interest in coming here.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The pros of UAA overwhelmed Adam, and he \u201ccouldn\u2019t turn the opportunity down.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n During the 2022-23 season, Adam played three games before breaking his leg, leading to a medical redshirt. With another year of eligibility, he decided to stay at UAA and finish his graduate program in Spring 2024 instead of Summer 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Adam came back healthy and ready for the 2023-24 season, scoring four goals and tallying 11 assists this year.<\/span><\/p>\n Now that his college journey is coming to an end, Adam is making plans for the future. When asked about what he\u2019ll do after graduation, Adam said, \u201cmy mom is asking that question too. I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n All jokes aside, he plans to go to Calgary and then \u201csee what happens.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d like to play somewhere overseas, but that\u2019s still up in the air,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Though Alaska has many great things to offer, Adam said he\u2019ll mostly miss his teammates. \u201cWe built this team together, so I\u2019m going to miss the guys the most for sure.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
