Shelton has played primarily bottom pairing minutes for Canada, but will be counted upon heavily as a top four blueliner in the PWHL. In 2022 she broke out offensively at the World Championships recording nine points in seven games from Canada's blueline.

At the NCAA level, Shelton was part of a powerhouse Clarkson program winning back-to-back national championships in 2017 and 2018.
