[1] He began his junior career with the Indiana Ice of the United States Hockey League. In his one-season, he recorded 10 goals and 18 points over 45 games.

On April 1, 2014, the Lightning signed Erne to an entry-level contract. [4]

In his final season with the Quebec Remparts, Erne was awarded the Guy Lafleur Trophy as the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League playoff most valuable player, following the team's game seven President Cup final victory.

Professional

On September 19, 2013, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced that Erne would have a hearing for an incident during a preseason game against the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday night at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. In the first period, Erne was assessed a minor penalty for an illegal check to the head for a hit on St. Louis forward Vladimir Sobotka. Sobotka left the game after the hit and did not return. [8] On the same day, the NHL announced that Erne had been suspended for three preseason games for delivering an illegal check to the head of Sobotka. [9]
