Playing career
An undrafted player, Elson played junior hockey with the Red Deer Rebels of the Western Hockey League (WHL) and joined the Flames organization as a free agent signing in 2011.[1]
Elson spent the majority of his first four professional seasons in the American Hockey League (AHL) with the Abbotsford Heat, Adirondack Flames and Stockton Heat.[2] He was recalled to Calgary for the team's final game of the 2015–16 NHL season and made his NHL debut on April 9, 2016. Elson recorded his first NHL point, an assist, in the 2–1 victory over the Minnesota Wild.[3]
At the conclusion of the season and at the end of his entry-level contract, Elson was not qualified by the Flames and was released as a free agent. On July 1, 2016, he signed a one-year, two-way contract to join the Colorado Avalanche.[4]
