Adam Kingsmill (born March 3, 2000) is a Canadian ice sledge hockey player. He won silver medals at the 2022 and 2026 Winter Paralympics. He also won a gold medal at the 2024 World Para Ice Hockey Championships.
Kingsmill was born on March 3, 2000, in Smithers, British Columbia, Canada.[1] Although he was born able-bodied, he lost his right leg below the knee in a lawnmower accident when he was a toddler. Kingsmill used a prosthetic leg growing up, which allowed him to play stand-up minor hockey in 2013, 2014, and 2015.[2] Beyond ice hockey, Kingsmill also participated in motocross racing and finished in the top five at the Pine Valley Motocross Association race in 2014.[3] During the 2015–16 season, Kingsmill was one of 120 prospects invited to participate at the Cariboo Cougars Under-18 AAA club's three-day evaluation camp.[4]
