Coaching in over 850 conference games, Adolph’s tenure as a head coach in university athletics began in 1989 at the helm of the Lethbridge Pronghorns. In 1993, Adolph took over his alma mater Saskatchewan Huskies. Amassing a 488-334-46 Canada West record between the two teams, in the 2014-2015 season, Adolph broke the U SPORTS regular season wins record once held by legendary coach Clare Drake.
A four-time Canada West Coach of the Year (1998, 2000, 2017, 2019), Adolph led Canada to bronze medals at the FISU Universiade in 2003 (Naples, Italy) and again in 2015 (Granada, Spain). He was also behind the bench for the Nagano Cup in Japan in 1996, leading the Canucks to a silver medal finish. In 2004, he was named an assistant coach with Hockey Canada for the Lotto Cup in Slovakia, finishing third.
As head coach of the Huskies, Adolph has guided his team to 25 consecutive post-season appearances, seven Canada West Championship titles and 16 appearances at the University Cup.
During his career as a Huskie hockey player and co-captain, Adolph and his teammates captured three Canada West Championship titles, winning Saskatchewan’s only University Cup in 1983.
