Miika Elomo (21 April 1977 – 9 February 2025) was a Finnish professional ice hockey player.
Drafted 23rd overall by the Washington Capitals in the 1995 NHL entry draft, Elomo played just two games for the Capitals before he was traded in 2000 to the Calgary Flames, although he never played for the organization. He returned to Finland for the Espoo Blues. He retired after the 2004–05 season due to a wrist injury.
Elomo died at his home in Val d'Oise on 9 February 2025, at the age of 47, while he was serving as the coach of Ligue Magnus side Jokers.[1][2]
