Playing career

Emberson was on the Wisconsin state ice hockey team as a youth and spent two years at Memorial High School in Eau Claire, where he totaled 49 points in 46 games.[1][2] He then spent two years with the USA Hockey National Team Development Program and was a member of the under-17 and under-18 national teams; he scored 23 points in 59 games with the under-17 squad and 12 points in 36 games with the under-18 team.[1][2][3]

Emberson was selected by the Arizona Coyotes with the 73rd overall pick of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, but opted to go to college instead of start his professional career.[4] He then enrolled at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and played for their Wisconsin Badgers ice hockey team, scoring 12 points in 37 games as a freshman.[3] He was an alternate captain while scoring nine points in the 2019–20 season.[2][5] He was named the Wisconsin Badgers team captain for the 2020–21 season and was named honorable mention All-Big Ten as well as to the Big Ten All-Tournament team, also being one of three finalists for the league defensive player of the year award.[4] He totaled nine goals and 25 assists in his three-season stint with the Badgers.[4]

In April 2021, Emberson signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Coyotes and was sent to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Tucson Roadrunners.[4][6] He appeared in five games and scored one goal for them in his first season.[3] In 2021–22, he appeared in 58 games and totaled four goals and seven assists.[7]

Emberson was traded from the Coyotes to the New York Rangers on July 13, 2022, in exchange for Patrik Nemeth and two draft picks.[7] He played with the Hartford Wolf Pack during the 2022–23 season and scored 27 points in 69 games, being second on the team among skaters in plus–minus and third in points and assists among defensemen.[8] Emberson was named the AHL Eastern Conference Best Defensive Defenseman.[9][10]

Emberson signed a one-year contract extension with the Rangers on July 13, 2023,[11] but in September 2023 was waived and then claimed off waivers by the San Jose Sharks.[8][12] After the training camp Emberson made the Sharks' opening roster for the 2023–24 season.[13][14]
