[edit] Playing career

Paul Adey joined the Hull Olympiques in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League in 1981 at the age of 18, moving to the Shawinigan Cataractes in 1983. His professional career began in International Hockey League with the Toledo Goaldiggers before he moved to the Fort Wayne Komets. After three seasons he moved to the Peoria Rivermen before moving to Europe in 1988. He began the 1988-89 season with Ligue Magnus side Briançon but in October joined the Nottingham Panthers in the British Hockey League. He would play for the club for the next 11 seasons, finishing as the top point scorer on five occasions and surpassing the club records for goals, assists and points previously held by Chick Zamick. Adey helped the team to the Playoff Championship in his first season and would go on to win four Autumn Cup winners medals with the team.

Adey departed for Italy in 1999 having scored 828 goals, 781 assists and 1,609 points in 609 appearances for the club. In 2000-01 Adey was a mid season signing for Nottingham's arch rivals, the Sheffield Steelers. He scored 11 goals and earned 12 assists in 29 games for the Steelers, helping the club to a Grand Slam of all four cups. He retired from playing at the end of the 2000-01. However, whilst coaching, he played as injury cover twice in the 2001-02 season and once in the 2003-04 season.

[edit] Coaching career

Following his retirement in 2001, Adey returned to Nottingham as a coach under Director of Hockey Alex Dampier. In 2002 he assumed the role of head coach after Dampier's dismissal. Adey presided over the Panthers for three seasons, leading the club the Challenge Cup in 2004, their first trophy since 1998. Following the 2004-05 season, Adey's contract wasn't renewed. In the summer of 2006 he became the head coach of Italian side Renon Ritten. He was retained for the 2007-08 season.
