GREENSBORO, NC - The Greensboro Gargoyles, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes and the AHL's Chicago Wolves, announced today that the team has signed forward Jake Elmer for the 2025-26 season.

Elmer, 26, brings a wealth of professional experience to Greensboro, having skated in the AHL, ECHL, and most recently overseas in Europe. A native of Calgary, Alberta, the 6-foot-1 right winger was originally signed by the New York Rangers as a free agent in 2019 and went on to play in the Rangers organization with the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL) and Maine Mariners (ECHL). He also logged time with the Greenville Swamp Rabbits, Jacksonville Icemen, and Adirondack Thunder, appearing in over 150 games across four ECHL seasons.

Following his time in North America, Elmer moved to Europe where he spent the past two seasons with the Dundee Stars of the Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL). He proved to be a steady offensive contributor overseas, totaling 29 points (13G, 16A) in 48 games during the 2023-24 campaign and continuing his production with Dundee in 2024-25.

"Jake is a skilled forward with proven experience in both the AHL and ECHL," said Head Coach Scott Burt. "He understands what it takes to compete at the pro level. He has good speed, offensive instincts, and we expect him to be an important piece of our forward group this season."
