Elaine Chuli grew up in Waterford, Ontario, and spent four seasons between 2012 and 2016 playing for the University of Connecticut Huskies — long enough to set program records for most saves in a single season and over a career. During the 2013-14 season she earned WHEA Honorable Mention All-Star recognition and recorded a career-best 55 saves in a single game. By the time she graduated, she had established herself as UConn's all-time saves leader and the all-time saves leader in the Hockey East (WHEA) conference.
Her path to professional hockey ran through several leagues. She played with the Vanke Rays of the CWHL in 2017-18, then moved to the Toronto Furies for the 2018-19 CWHL season. Following the CWHL's closure, she competed with the PWHPA during 2019-20 before joining the Toronto Six, where she remained through the 2022-23 season. During the 2021-22 campaign she was named PHF Goaltender of the Year, and in the spring of 2023 she won the Isobel Cup with Toronto — a championship she discussed on InGoal Radio shortly after the victory [1].
Her international career began early. Chuli won gold with Canada at the 2012 IIHF U18 Women's World Championship, representing her country before she had completed a single season of college hockey.
Following the launch of the PWHL, Chuli joined the Toronto Sceptres, wearing number 29. She is currently 32 years old.
