Stefan Elliott (born January 30, 1991 in Vancouver , British Columbia ) is a Canadian ice hockey player who has been under contract with HK Dinamo Minsk from the Continental Hockey League since June 2019 and plays there in the position of defender .

Career

Stefan Elliott started from the 2007/08 season regularly in the Western Hockey League for the Saskatoon Blades , after he had previously completed a season with the Vancouver NW Giants in a junior league in British Columbia . In his first full season for the Blades, Elliott was the team's most successful defender with 40 scorer points . In his second season , the Canadian was awarded the Daryl K. (Doc) Seaman Trophy by the WHL , which recognizes both athletic and academic achievements. A little later he received a similar, cross-league award with the Scholastic Player of the Year Award of the Canadian Hockey League .

On March 4, the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League transferred their second-round draft pick for the 2009 NHL Entry Draft , an annual event at which National Hockey League teams can secure the rights to promising young players, as well as defenders Lawrence Nycholat and Ryan Wilson in exchange for Jordan Leopold for the Colorado Avalanche . With this draft pick, Colorado selected Stefan Elliott in 49th position overall. The Canadian completed two more seasons in the Western Hockey League before signing his first professional contract with the Avalanche on March 21, 2011. Following the 2010/11 WHL season , Elliott was awarded the Bill Hunter Memorial Trophy as the best defensive player in the league and was elected to the WHL's First All-Star team. The player had his first professional appearances in the American Hockey League with Colorado's farm team , the Lake Erie Monsters , which he supported on the defensive in the play-offs of the 2010/11 AHL season . With the beginning of the following season , the defender was part of the regular roster of the Lake Erie Monsters.

A few weeks after the start of the season, Elliott was called to the squad of the Colorado Avalanche after an injury to Erik Johnson . On November 26, 2011, the defender completed his first National Hockey League game; in the 5-2 success of the Avalanche against the Edmonton Oilers , Elliott also immediately scored his first NHL goal. Overall, Stefan Elliott came in the 2011/12 NHL season on 39 missions for the Colorado Avalanche, he got four hits and nine assists . After 18 appearances in the 2012/13 season , he began the 2013/14 season again with the Lake Erie Monsters in the AHL.

After he had only five NHL appearances in the 2014/15 season, his expiring contract in Colorado was not extended. As a result, he was given to the Arizona Coyotes as a restricted free agent in exchange for Brandon Gormley , and a little later agreed on a one-year contract with the Coyotes. After the Canadian initially played 19 NHL games for the Coyotes at the beginning of the 2015/16 season , he was transferred to the Nashville Predators in January 2016 in exchange for Victor Bartley within the league . In the organization of the Predators he was mainly for the Milwaukee Admirals in the AHL before he received no new contract in Nashville after the season.

As a result, Elliott joined Ak Bars Kazan from the Continental Hockey League (KHL) in September 2016 , but could not convince there with 11 scorer points in 31 KHL games. Shortly after the start of the 2017/18 season, Kazan transferred his still valid KHL contract to HK Dinamo Minsk in exchange for Rob Klinkhammer . The defender left the league, however, in the direction of Sweden and there signed a contract with HV71 from the Svenska Hockeyligan . He made his return to the NHL in July 2018 when he was awarded a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins . However, they only used him on their AHL farm team in Wilkes-Barre / Scranton before he was handed over to the Ottawa Senators together with Tobias Lindberg in December 2018 . In return, Macoy Erkamps and Ben Sexton moved to Pittsburgh. During the rest of the season, the defender played mainly for Ottawa's farm team Belleville Senators in the AHL. In June 2019 he finally received a contract with the Belarusian club HK Dinamo Minsk from the Continental Hockey League, where he had already played in Kazan three years earlier.

International

Stefan Elliott represented the Canadian national team for the first time at an international tournament at the U18 World Junior Championship in 2009 . The team lost in this tournament their semi-final game against the US national team , as well as the following game for third place against the Finnish selection and finished the tournament in fourth place. Elliott completed six games and scored two assists.

Elliott made his senior team debut at the 2018 Winter Olympics , where he won the bronze medal with the team that competed without NHL players.
