Stefan Elliott is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman who has made a name for himself in the National Hockey League (NHL). Currently an unrestricted free agent, Elliott has previously played for the Colorado Avalanche and has been recognized for his impressive skills on the ice.
Born on January 30, 1991, Elliott started playing hockey at a young age and participated in the 2003 and 2004 Quebec International PeeWee Hockey Tournaments with a minor ice hockey team from North Vancouver. He later joined the Vancouver North West Giants in the BC Major Midget League and eventually moved on to the Saskatoon Blades of the Western Hockey League (WHL).
In his first full season with the Blades in 2007-08, Elliott led the defense with 31 assists and 40 points. The following season, he improved his game, leading the Blades defense with 15 goals and 55 points. His exceptional performance earned him the WHL's and the CHL's Scholastic Player of the Year award, recognizing his academic achievements as well as his hockey skills.
Eligible for the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, Elliott was selected in the second round, 49th overall, by the Colorado Avalanche. On March 21, 2011, he signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Avalanche. Elliott began his professional career with the Lake Erie Monsters, the Avalanche's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, before being recalled to the NHL in November 2011.
Elliott scored his first NHL goal in his debut game against the Edmonton Oilers, which proved to be the game winner. In the 2014-15 season, he led the Monsters in scoring from the blueline, netting a franchise-high 19 goals with 40 points in 64 games. His impressive performance earned him a spot in the AHL All-Star Game.
