Adam Mair (born February 15, 1979 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada)^[1] is a professional ice hockey right wing who currently plays for the Buffalo Sabres of the NHL.

Mair was drafted 84th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft. He joined the Maple Leafs for five games in the 1999 Stanley Cup Playoffs, recording a goal and 14 Penalty Minutes. However, he spent the majority of the 1999-2000 season in the AHL with the St. John's Maple Leafs. The Leafs wounded up trading Mair at the Trade Deadline in 2001, acquired defenseman Aki Berg from the Los Angeles Kings.

Mair split time in the 2001-2002 season between the AHL and NHL, and was hurt for a good amount of the season. The Kings decided to trade Mair to the Buffalo Sabres on July 24th, in exchange for former first round draft pick Erik Rasmussen. Mair has become a very popular player, with his effort and his agression. He hasn't been back to the AHL since his acquisition by the Sabres.

He set a personal high in games played and assists and tied a personal record in goals in 2003-04. His 2005-06 season was plagued by concussions. He missed a total of 31 regular season games due to concussion symptoms in a collision with Tyson Nash of the Phoenix Coyotes on January 12, 2006. He missed the remainder of the 2006 regular season and the first 2 rounds of the playoffs and didn't appear for his first playoff game until game five of the third round versus the Carolina Hurricanes.
