[edit] Playing career

Perry played for the AAA Petes in Peterborough and won the OHL Cup with his team in the 2000-2001 season. He was drafted into the Ontario Hockey League by the London Knights, being selected fifth overall in the 2001 OHL Priority Draft. He was later a first-round draft pick, being selected 28th overall in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft by the Anaheim Ducks. Later in the year he was close to joining the Edmonton Oilers in a trade for Mike Comrie, but Kevin Lowe backed out, asking Comrie to repay some of his bonus money.[1] He had rejoined the Knights by this time and led them to the Memorial Cup championship in 2005.

Perry made his debut with the Ducks the following season, however he was sent down to the American Hockey League early in the year, along with Ryan Getzlaf. Perry and Getzlaf combined for 67 points in 36 games with the Portland Pirates. After their performances, they were called back to the Ducks.

In 2006-07, Perry helped the Ducks win the Stanley Cup. He is one of very few players to win a Memorial Cup, a gold medal in the IIHF World Junior Championships, and a Stanley Cup.

[edit] Family

His younger brother, Adam Perry, who plays for the Belleville Bulls and was his teammate when the Knights won the 2005 Memorial Cup. Adam was eligible for the 2005 NHL Entry Draft but he was skipped over; however, he attended the Los Angeles Kings rookie training camp as a free agent.

Corey continues to be active in the community in London Ontario. The Corey Perry A Round for a Cure golf tournament raises money for the London and region Wellspring Cancer Support Centre.[2]
