Adam Pardy

He played in the National Hockey League for the Calgary Flames, Dallas Stars, Buffalo Sabres, Winnipeg Jets, Edmonton Oilers, Nashville Predators.

As a result, he began the 2002–03 season in the Maritime Junior A Hockey League playing first for the Yarmouth Mariners and then the Antigonish Bulldogs.

[1] His QMJHL rights were traded to the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles in January 2003, but the Bulldogs refused to release him at first as they wished to keep him for their own playoff run.

[4] Pardy turned professional in 2005 and began the season with Calgary's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights.

He struggled at first; he failed to score and was a minus player in his first 24 games, resulting in a demotion to the ECHL's Las Vegas Wranglers.

[7] Entering his third season of professional hockey in 2007–08, Pardy continued to impress the Flames organization with his development, and while he did not make the team out of training camp, he was one of the final cuts.

[11] Pardy was used sparingly early in the season, but gained a full-time spot in the lineup in November when Jim Vandermeer suffered a broken ankle.

[15] The Flames made re-signing him a priority,[16] agreeing to a two-year, US$1.4 million contract that was worth less than he might have received on the open market.

[17] Despite a slow start at training camp, Pardy retained his position as the team's sixth defenceman entering the 2009–10 season.

[18] He missed three games early in the season with a sprained wrist,[19] and was left as the seventh defenceman late in the year after the Flames acquired Steve Staios.

[23] An unrestricted free agent, Pardy left the Flames after the 2010–11 season and signed a two-year, $4 million contract with the Dallas Stars.

[27] Pardy played only one season in Dallas, as he was included in a July 2, 2012 trade that also sent Steve Ott to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for Derek Roy.

Returning to North America in the following off-season, Pardy signed for the inaugural season of hometown club, the Newfoundland Growlers in the ECHL on September 7, 2018.

[39] He comes from a tight-knit family; his parents, Stan and Lorraine, and elder brothers, Neil and Todd, made sacrifices and committed the little money they had towards Pardy's hockey career.
