On the ice, he’s an offensive force and the most productive player in all of major junior hockey over the last two seasons.

He’s as much of a dynamo off the ice as well, known for his charitable efforts and the time he takes to spend with young fans and aspiring hockey players in the community.

To say Regina Pats captain Adam Brooks is well-rounded might be selling the 20-year-old Winnipegger short.

“I’m hoping I’ve left a good impression,” Brooks said Wednesday from Regina.

“The community does a lot for us so if you are able to give something back and be able to be a good guy all around in the city, it’s something you are going to want to do.”

With Brooks leading the way, the Pats are the No. 1-ranked team in the entire Canadian Hockey League. They put together a remarkable 52-12-7-1 record in the regular season and are off to a great start in the Western Hockey League playoffs, having swept the Calgary Hitmen in four straight games in the first round.

Brooks, a fourth-round pick of the Toronto Maple Leafs in last June’s NHL draft, has been a big part of it all, putting up 43 goals and 130 points in the regular season and three goals and four assists in four playoff games so far.

He finished second in the WHL scoring race to teammate Sam Steel (who had 131 points) but his 250 points over the last two seasons — he won the league scoring title in 2016 — are the most of any CHL player.

“With Sammy having the year that he did, there was a little bit of an internal competition where we pushed each other every night,” Brooks said.

Brooks was named the WHL player of the month for March after he put up 13 goals and 21 assists and led the Pats to 12 straight wins to close out the regular season campaign.

He provides so much to his team and yet it’s what he does off the ice that has helped him get voted the most popular Pats player the last two seasons.

This season Brooks was involved in a number of charitable ventures, including the Lung All-Stars Program, in which he and teammates visited schools and did presentations on the importance of lung health, delivered teddy bears to sick kids after the team’s Teddy Bear Toss, delivered pizzas in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation and read books to children at elementary schools.

He also worked with the city’s outdoor hockey league and would go and play with kids on winter evenings.

After Sunday games, when the Pats hold family skates, Brooks is often seen talking with kids, getting down to their level to communicate, racing them around the ice.

“It’s a lot of fun for us to interact with people, whether it be with little kids or just with fans in general,” Brooks said.

One of the most memorable moments from this season was captured in a Snapchat post put out by the team, showing Brooks holding a baby girl as he headed out onto the ice.

Brooks had been talking to a mother and her daughter in the stands throughout the season.

“The little girl has taken quite the liking to me and one time (the mother) asked me if I could take her out there with me, so I just brought her onto the bench for a picture,” Brooks said.

Brooks will graduate from the Pats after five years with the team after this season — he hopes to sign with the Leafs and play in their minor league system next year — but he’s clearly left a strong legacy in the Queen City.

Perhaps his biggest mark will come from a promotion this season in which a company called Partner Technologies is donating money to Big Brothers of Regina every time he scores a point.

They donated $100 “Brooksy Bucks” for every point during the regular season and $250 for every point in the playoffs. The total now is at $14,750.

“It’s a pretty good feeling every time you get a point to be helping to give a little bit more money to charity,” Brooks said.

“When they first talked to me about it I was definitely nervous because I didn’t want to let the charity down. But ultimately it was kind of fun, knowing that the better you play, the more you are helping out.”

The Pats will play the Swift Current Broncos in the second round of the playoffs, starting Thursday night in Regina.

You can be sure Brooks will be doing a little more than just helping out.

Paddock has changed careers with Pats

There’s no hesitation in Adam Brooks’ response when he’s asked who has been the most influential person on his hockey career.

“I owe most of my career to John Paddock,” he says.

Paddock, a former coach and general manager of the Winnipeg Jets, is now head coach of the Regina Pats, the No. 1-ranked junior team in the Canadian Hockey League.

The Oak River native guided the Pats to 52-12-7-1 record in the regular season in his third year at the helm of the WHL team.

“John has changed a lot of guys careers around, including mine,” says Brooks, who has 250 points in the last two seasons under Paddock. “He made me enjoy playing the game again and he made me believe in my abilities again. When he came in it was a breath of fresh air for sure and he just allowed me to go out and play.

“I don’t think I’d be playing in the Western Hockey League if it wasn’t for John right now and I don’t think I’d be drafted in Toronto.”
