Elliott also played junior ice hockey with the Kimberley Dynamiters of the Rocky Mountain Junior Hockey League and earlier with the Canberra Knights of the Australian Ice Hockey League/East Coast Super League. In the early 1990s he moved to Australia with his parents and played on the Australian national team. He played most of his professional career in the minors but did appear in preseason games in 2002 for Detroit in the National Hockey League, and appeared as third string goalie in the Red Wing's 2002 Stanley Cup victory. He is included in the team photograph and was awarded a Stanley Cup ring, but never played a game in the NHL.
