McAdam scored four assists in the 2015–16 season, the most for any goaltender across the NCAA that season, and was named to the All-Big Ten Second Team.

### Professional

McAdam was selected by the New York Islanders in the third round (70th overall) of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. After his junior year at Penn State, McAdam signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Islanders on March 23, 2016. He played his first professional game on April 17, 2016, for New York's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, in the final game of their season.
McAdam began the 2016–17 season winning each of his first seven starts, including his first professional victory on November 11, 2016, against the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. and would split the rest of the season between the Sound Tigers and New York's ECHL affiliate, the Missouri Mavericks.
On July 3, 2018, McAdam was traded from the Islanders to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for forward Matt Martin. Less than a month into 2018–19 McAdam was called up to the Maple Leafs to serve as backup after Frederik Andersen and Kasimir Kaskisuo both suffered injuries and Curtis McElhinney and Calvin Pickard were claimed off waivers by other teams, leaving the Maple Leafs goaltending depth very thin, though he would not see game action. McAdam split the remainder of the season with the AHL's Toronto Marlies and ECHL's Newfoundland Growlers.
After the completion of his entry-level contract, the Maple Leafs chose not to qualify McAdam making him an unrestricted free agent. He spent the next two seasons playing in the ECHL with the Adirondack Thunder and Jacksonville Icemen.
On October 19, 2021, McAdam signed a one-year contract with the Esbjerg Energy of the Danish Metal Ligaen. On June 14, 2022, McAdam signed a one-year deal with the Guildford Flames of the British Elite Ice Hockey League, extending for a second and third year on June 5, 2023.
