This past Friday, the New York Rangers announced that they had signed Jake Elmer. The forward currently plays in the WHL and was a free agent up until committing to the Rangers.
Though only 20 years old, he already has quite a bit of professional hockey experience. He made his first appearance in the WHL back in the 2014-2015 season when he played three games for the Regina Pats.
The following year, Elmer split his time between the WHL’s Regina Pats and the AJHL’s Grande Prairie Storm. He didn’t record any points with Regina in 17 games, but he did come away with four points (one goal and three assists) in 20 games with the Storm.
