In the small sampling of games Adam Pelech played with the New York Islanders, he acquitted himself quite well. He showed a tremendous amount of poise on the blue line and earned the confidence of the coaching staff and management.
Pelech played his junior hockey with the Eerie Otters, a team he wore the “A” for in his final two years. He scored 20 goals and added 107 assists in 228 games with the Otters and played for Canada in the World Junior Championships twice – serving as an assistant captain for the U18 team and tallying an assist in seven games for the U20.
