Adam Scianna's hockey career started at the young age of four years old, when his older brother gifted him a knee hockey stick made from one of his old broken sticks. He would play knee hockey with his brother any chance he could, that was until his brother broke his leg in a tournament, and swore off playing hockey ever again. But Adam still had that itch and would continue to bug his mom and dad to play knee hockey with him, that was when they decided to sign him up for beginner hockey lessons at the age of 6. With hand me down gear that was far to big for him Adam suited up for the first time, and some say he hasn't taken his skates off since. Adm quickly learned the game and climbed the different levels, until he was playing with kids 3-4-5 years older than him, this was when teams and scouts really started to take notice of him.
