Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Sundsvall and raised in Ånge, Elias started playing hockey at three. He played youth hockey alongside his older brother Emil, then joined Timrå’s junior setup. His father drove the local rink’s Zamboni, giving him chances to squeeze in extra ice time.
From Sweden to Vancouver.
He made his professional debut with Timrå in 2015–16. Vancouver drafted him fifth overall in 2017, and he spent the following season with Växjö Lakers. That year brought an SHL championship, regular-season and playoff MVP honours, and World Championship gold with Sweden.
An immediate NHL impact.
In his first NHL season, Pettersson led both the Canucks and all league rookies with 28 goals, 38 assists and 66 points. That scoring total set a Canucks rookie record, and he won the 2018–19 Calder Memorial Trophy.
More milestones.
His 2022–23 season finished with 39 goals and 102 points. In March 2026, he reached 200 career NHL goals, then 300 assists and 500 points. Fans also see his life beyond games through his official Instagram and X accounts.
