He was drafted by the Sharks in the sixth round (#176 overall) of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. 

Prior to turning pro, Emond played five seasons in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League for Rouyn-Noranda and Saint John. In 2018-19, he had his best numbers statistically, going 24-0-1 with a 1.73 goals-against average and .932 save percentage. He won the Jacques Plante Trophy for the league's best goals-against average, best save percentage, QMJHL title and helped Rouyn-Noranda win the Memorial Cup.
