Garnet Exelby (born August 16, 1981 in Craik, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian professional hockey defenceman currently playing for the Atlanta Thrashers of the NHL.
Exelby was drafted by the Thrashers in Round 8, 217th overall at the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. Having already spent one year playing junior hockey for the Saskatoon Blades of the WHL, Exelby played the next two seasons at the WHL with the Blades and the Regina Pats. In the 2001-02 season, Exelby moved away from the juniors and played in the AHL for the Chicago Wolves. He stayed with the Wolves for the whole of that season, as the Wolves clinched the AHL's Calder Cup. Exelby was called up to the main Thrashers roster midway through the 2002-03 NHL season where he plays today.
Exelby has since started to make a name for himself as one of the best hitters in the game.
