Mair was drafted 84th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft. He joined the Maple Leafs for five games in the 1999 Stanley Cup Playoffs, recording a goal and 14 penalty minutes. However, he spent the majority of the 1999–2000 season in the AHL with the St. John's Maple Leafs. The Leafs traded Mair at the Trade Deadline in 2001, acquiring defenseman Aki Berg from the Los Angeles Kings.
Mair split time in the 2001–02 season between the AHL and NHL, and was hurt for a good amount of the season. The Kings decided to trade Mair to the Buffalo Sabres on July 24, in exchange for former first round draft pick Erik Rasmussen. Mair has become a popular player, with his effort and his aggression. He has not been back to the AHL since his acquisition by the Sabres.
He set a personal high in games played and assists and tied a personal record in goals in 2003–04. His 2005–06 season was plagued by concussions. He missed a total of 31 regular season games due to concussion symptoms after a collision with Tyson Nash of the Phoenix Coyotes on January 12, 2006. He missed the remainder of the 2006 regular season and the first 2 rounds of the playoffs and did not appear for his first playoff game until game five of the third round versus the Carolina Hurricanes. Adam was named an alternate captain on February 4, 2008 under the Sabres 2007–08 rotating captains and alternate captains system.
On November 9, 2009 the Buffalo Sabres placed Adam Mair on waivers. The 24 hour deadline passed with no team claiming Mair. The Sabres did have the option of sending him to the AHL Portland Pirates but Head Coach Lindy Ruff decided to keep him up with the Sabres instead.
On September 17, 2010, Mair was invited by the New Jersey Devils on a tryout contract for the team, he eventually signed with New Jersey on October 12, 2010.
