Yeah, it's more like when you've been twisting it for years, thought you might be close and then realized that it was just as mixed up as ever.

So like the way Sabres fans feel now?

Houser played three seasons (2009 – 2012) of major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League with the London Knights. He was recognized for his outstanding play during the 2011–12 OHL season when he was selected as the OHL Goaltender of the Year[1] and named to the OHL First All-Star Team. Houser was also awarded the Red Tilson Trophy as the OHL's Most Outstanding Player.[2]

Houser attended the Florida Panthers’ 2012 development camp,[3] and on July 9, 2012 the Panthers signed him to a three-year entry-level contract.[4]

As a free agent at the conclusion of his entry-level contract with the Panthers, Houser was signed to a one-year AHL contract with the Ontario Reign, affiliate to the Los Angeles Kings on September 14, 2015.[5]

As a free agent from the Reign, Houser attended the Columbus Blue Jackets training camp on a professional try-out. On October 14, 2016, Houser signed a one-year AHL contract with the Blue Jackets affiliate and defending champions, the Cleveland Monsters.[6] Houser appeared in a single game with the Monsters during the 2016–17 season, playing primarily with the Cincinnati Cyclones of the ECHL, registering 22 wins in 41 games.

In the following off-season, Houser agreed as a free agent to a one-year, one-way AHL contract with the Tucson Roadrunners on July 28, 2017.[7]

As a free agent, Houser continued his journeyman career in joining his fifth AHL organization, the Rochester Americans on a one-year contract on September 11, 2018.[8] He continued to play the duration of the 2018–19 season in the ECHL, returning for his fourth season with the Cincinnati Cyclones. As the starting goaltender for the Cyclones, Houser recorded his best professional season, collecting 29 wins in 41 games to be named to the ECHL First All-Star team and the ECHL's Goaltender of the Year.[9]

On August 29, 2019, Houser as a free agent was re-signed by the Americans to a one-year AHL contract.[10]
