Emerson initially got into hockey by watching his brother, Martin, play roller hockey. Emerson followed his path and eventually got into ice hockey. When he was 14, Emerson moved to Minnesota to play for Shattuck-Saint Mary's, similar to Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon.
While playing with Shattuck-Saint Mary's, he led the team to a third place finish at the Tier I 14 and under 2007 Championship in Amherst, New York. Even though he was drafted by the Medicine Hat Tigers of the WHL in 2007, he did not start his career there until the 2009-2010 season. For the 2008-2009 season, he moved on to play with the National Team Development Program in Michigan.
Joining Medicine Hat for the 2009-2010 season, he scored 37 goals and 28 assists for 65 points in 72 games. The following season, even though he played in only 65 games, Etem scored 45 goals and 35 assists for 80 points. He's on pace for another stellar year this season, as he recently scored 51 goals in 50 games with the Tigers and already has 89 points through 50 games.
Pretty impressive for a kid from Southern California, no?
