NWHL 2021 Draft Prospect Profile: Jess Adams

F/D Jess Adams, Elmira (UCHC - DIII)

Hometown: Holliston, Massachusetts

Adams is a very productive member of a strong Elmira club. She’s well rounded offensively, with a good shot, above average hands, and she sees the ice well. Her production is what vaults her onto this list, has a 20 goal season on her resume, and has consistently gotten better as her career has progressed. That culminated in an absurd 29 points in 14 games this year for Elmira, becoming much more of a distributor than a goal scorer in the process. She has shown she has more dimension to her game than originally thought, and could be a sneaky add later in the draft for a crafty team. She also has positional versatility, with the ability to play as a forward or as a rearguard.
