History

2006-07: While Ellerby has maintained a high ranking among scouting organizations during his draft year, his performance on the ice was inconsistent. A common thought shared among WHL prognosticators was the notion Ellerby had begun reading his press clippings early in the season and began to rest on his laurels. The Blazers coaching staff called out the native of Okotoks, Alberta during the second half after a spurt of needless penalties and lackluster efforts.

Talent Analysis

In any event, the 6'4, 190-pound defenseman oozes talent. Ellerby is a tough physical player who can be a willing and vicious pugilist. He scored two goals and 23 assists in 69 games while collecting 120 penalty minutes.
