Elaine Chuli

Elaine Chuli grew up in Waterford, Ontario, and built one of the more decorated careers in the history of women's college hockey before becoming a professional. During four seasons at the University of Connecticut from 2012 to 2016, she set program records for most saves in a single season and most saves across a career — marks that also made her the all-time saves leader for the Hockey East (WHEA) conference. Along the way she earned WHEA Honorable Mention All-Star recognition in 2013–14 and turned in a career-best 55 saves in a single game.

Her international career began before she ever arrived in Storrs. In 2012, Chuli was part of the Canadian squad that won gold at the IIHF U18 Women's World Championship, and she was named to the 2016 national program as well.

After completing her college career, Chuli moved into professional play, joining the Vanke Rays of the CWHL for the 2017–18 season before returning to Ontario with the Toronto Furies in 2018–19. Following the collapse of the CWHL, she competed with the PWHPA in 2019–20, then signed with the Toronto Six of the PHF. In the 2021–22 PHF season she was named Goaltender of the Year, and in 2023 she helped the Six win the Isobel Cup.

Following her PHF championship, Chuli joined the Professional Women's Hockey League. InGoal Radio spoke with Chuli and Furies/Six teammate Carly Jackson shortly after the 2023 Isobel Cup victory on episode 211 of the InGoal Radio podcast ^[1].
