2005-06: With a stellar 90-point season paced with 64 assists for Kingston, Emmerton showed that he’s a prospect with elite playmaking skills that go a long way to make those around him better. Emmerton was a member of the Canadian Junior Under-18 squad in addition to participating in the CHL Canada-Russia Challenge series in 2005. He also received an invite to the CHL Top Prospect game and he displayed his offensive prowess in all instances.Few expected Emmerton to almost triple his offensive production this season.

2007-08: Emmerton played for three different clubs. Serving as the team’s captain, he netted 13 goals and 18 assists in 24 games with Kingston. The Frontenacs had a rough season, and Emmerton was traded to the Brampton Battalion mid-season. He played in 30 games with the Battalion, scoring 30 points (12 goals, 18 assists). He was then brought to Detroit’s AHL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins, where he recorded one assist in seven games.
Talent Analysis
A talented playmaker with offensive flair and a nose for the net, Emmerton is the type of forward who makes those around him better. He has a knack for finding the open man, or hitting a teammate in full stride for an offensive chance.
He has elite playmaking and passing skills and is solid on his skates. He could benefit from some extra attention on the defensive side of the game, and could be a solid point-producer for years to come no matter what level he plays at.
Future
He looks like a future third liner with some potential of becoming a second-line playmaker.
