Career

Courchaine began his ice hockey career in 2001 in the Canadian Junior Western Hockey League with the Medicine Hat Tigers . In the 2001/02 season, the 1.79 m tall center moved within the league to the Vancouver Giants . After he in his second season in Vancouver presented his talent, also were NHL - scouts noticed him. During the 2003 NHL Entry Draft , it was the Minnesota Wild who finally chose Courchaine. He was selected in the seventh round in a total of 219th place.

For the 2005/06 season , the attacker joined the Minnesota Wild farm team , the Houston Eros in the American Hockey League . The left shooter only stayed there for one season and also played for the Pensacola Ice Pilots and for the Gwinnett Gladiators in the ECHL . In the end, he only played ten games in the AHL.

Courchaine then moved to Austria in the summer of 2006, where he played for EK Zell am See in the second highest Austrian league . After a good season in which he was able to score 105 points in 41 games, the Füchse Duisburg signed him. In his first season he made his breakthrough in the German ice hockey league and was one of the best scorers in the Füchse team. The Canadian was then signed by league competitor DEG Metro Stars during the summer break of 2008 , for whom Adam Courchaine was on the ice until the 2011/12 season . After the departure of the main sponsor Metro AG , Courchaines contract was not extended any further, at the end of August 2012 he signed a contract with the Graz 99ers , which was terminated after four league games. On October 10, it was announced that Courchaine was returning to the Füchsen Duisburg, who were now playing in the third-class league. However, the contract contained an exit clause in the event of an offer from the DEL, which enabled a switch to the Krefeld Penguins after the Germany Cup break in 2012.

On January 13, 2015, his contract in Krefeld was terminated with immediate effect at his own request. In the same month Courchaine was hired by EHC Olten in the National League B before moving to Mountfield HK in the Czech extra league in summer 2015 .

In August 2016 he was signed by the Hungarian club Alba Volán Székesfehérvár , which plays in the Austrian ice hockey league . After only 16 games, he moved to the DEL for the third time, and the Düsseldorfer EG signed Courchaine again after his engagement from 2008 to 2012. After the 2016/17 season, however, he did not receive a new contract with DEG.
