[edit] Playing career
[edit] Restaurant incident
Before making his NHL debut on 14 December 2002 for the Kings, Corvo was arrested in November 2002 in Boston after he grabbed a 34-year-old woman's buttocks in a restaurant. Restaurant staff told him to leave, but Corvo returned, punched the woman and then kicked her when she fell to the ground, police said. Corvo was given a three-year suspended sentence after he pleaded guilty to assault. Corvo was also suspended for three games by the Kings.
[edit] Trip to Ottawa
Shortly after the regular season was over for he and his Los Angeles Kings teammates, Corvo, a defenceman, and his wife Angela celebrated the birth of their second son, Maddux. The couple’s other son is 20-month-old Cameron. Already beaming with the new addition to the family, the Corvo’s had another reason to celebrate on July 1 when Ottawa Senators general manager John Muckler signed Joe to a multi-year contract.
“I’m really excited, especially because it’s a Canadian team and this is where hockey started,” Corvo says. “I’ve watched these guys on television and they have super talent. I haven’t played in the playoffs yet, so it’s great to see the history of reaching the playoffs here.”
Corvo looked forward to joining the likes of Wade Redden, Chris Phillips, Anton Volchenkov, Andrej Meszaros, Christoph Schubert and newcomer Tom Preissing (acquired in a trade from the San Jose Sharks) on the Sens’ blueline.
“I don’t think I could go wrong playing with any of those guys,” Corvo says.
[edit] Trivia
- Last season the Oak Park, Ill. native had a clear lead over all Kings’ defencemen in shots on goal.
- Corvo played NCAA hockey at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
- In the 06-07 season, he broke a Senators record for points for a defenceman in a game with 5 (1 g, 4 a) against the Toronto Maple Leafs on October 26. He was eventually the game's first star.
