As a youth Comrie attended and played junior hockey for Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn, Virginia.

Comrie played major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) with the Saginaw Spirit and the Guelph Storm.

On April 13, 2010, the Florida Panthers signed Comrie to a three-year entry-level contract.{{cite web| url = http://panthers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=525298 | title = Panthers sign draft pick Comrie | publisher = Florida Panthers | date = 2010-04-13 | accessdate = 2010-04-29}} Comrie made his professional debut in the American Hockey League with the Rochester Americans during the 2010–11 season.

On July 10, 2013, Comrie was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the San Jose Sharks.{{cite web| url = http://sharks.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=677574 | title = Sharks sign defenseman Adam Comrie | publisher = San Jose Sharks | date = 2013-07-10 | accessdate = 2013-07-10}} He never appeared with the Sharks in the 2013–14 season, posting 19 points in 56 games with the San Jose affiliate Worcester Sharks.

On October 6, 2014, as an un-signed free agent over the summer, Comrie signed to return to the ECHL with the Reading Royals on a one-year deal.{{cite web | url = http://royalshockey.com/royals-agree-to-terms-with-defenseman-adam-comrie/ | title = Royals agree to terms with Adam Comrie | publisher = Reading Royals | date = 2014-10-06 | accessdate = 2014-10-06 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141013104321/http://royalshockey.com/royals-agree-to-terms-with-defenseman-adam-comrie/ | archive-date = October 13, 2014 | url-status = dead }} He split the season between the Royals and affiliate club, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms of the AHL, producing 18 points in 40 games from the blueline.

On October 10, 2015, Comrie secured a one-year AHL contract with the Phantoms and was reassigned to Royals to begin the 2015–16 season.{{cite web | url = https://royalshockey.com/royals-announce-training-camp-roster-5/ | title = Royals announce training camp roster | publisher = Reading Royals | date = 2015-10-05 | accessdate = 2015-10-15 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20171116200624/https://royalshockey.com/royals-announce-training-camp-roster-5/ | archive-date = November 16, 2017 | url-status = dead }} He was again shuffled between the ECHL and AHL, posting a respectable 15 points in 32 games with Lehigh Valley.

As a free agent on July 26, 2016, Comrie agreed to a one-year deal with the Syracuse Crunch.{{cite web | url = http://syracusecrunch.com/news/2016/7/26/syracuse-crunch-sign-defenseman-adam-comrie-to-ahl-contract.aspx | title = Crunch sign defenseman Adam Comrie to AHL contract | publisher = Syracuse Crunch | date = 2016-07-26 | accessdate = 2016-07-26}} Comrie remained with the Crunch for the majority of the 2016–17 season, spending a brief stint in the ECHL with the Kalamazoo Wings. In adding a veteran presence, he matched a career best with 19 points in 55 games with the Crunch. With his help on defense, the Crunch would win their division and reach the Calder Cup Finals, but Comrie did not play in any of their playoff games.

Comrie left Syracuse as a free agent and returned to the Reading Royals for the 2017–18 season.{{cite web | url = https://royalshockey.com/royals-sign-d-adam-comrie/ | title = Fan favourite returns to Reading | publisher = Reading Royals | date = 2017-10-13 | accessdate = 2017-10-13 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20171116191500/https://royalshockey.com/royals-sign-d-adam-comrie/ | archive-date = November 16, 2017 | url-status = dead }} On November 4, 2017, he returned on loan to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms and appeared in two games before he was released back to the ECHL.{{cite web| url = http://www.phantomshockey.com/phantoms-sign-d-adam-comrie-pto/ | title = Phantoms sign D Comrie to PTO | publisher = Lehigh Valley Phantoms | date = 2017-11-04 | accessdate = 2017-11-04}}
