Bio updated:

Elaine Chuli was between the pipes at the University of Connecticut for four seasons, from 2012 to 2016, and left the program as its all-time saves leader — a record that also stands as the best in Hockey East conference history. In a single game during the 2013-14 season, she turned aside 55 shots, earning WHEA Honorable Mention All-Star recognition that year.

Before her college career began, Chuli was already representing her country. Born in Waterford, Ontario, she won gold with Canada at the 2012 IIHF U18 Women's World Championship.

Her professional path moved through several stops in women's hockey. She played with the Vanke Rays in the CWHL in 2017-18, then joined the Toronto Furies for the 2018-19 CWHL season, and skated with the PWHPA in 2019-20. Beginning in the 2020-21 season, she settled with the Toronto Six of the PHF. In 2021-22, she was named PHF Goaltender of the Year, and in 2023 she was part of the Toronto Six team that won the Isobel Cup. She currently wears number 29 for the Toronto Sceptres in the PWHL.
