Corey Perry was born in New Liskeard, Ontario in 1985. Anaheim Ducks selected him 28th overall in the 2003 NHL Draft. His career has produced 452 goals and 449 assists for 901 career points. He won the Stanley Cup with Anaheim in 2007. He won the Hart Trophy as MVP and the Rocket Richard Trophy as leading goal scorer in 2011 — the same season he scored 50 goals. He won Olympic gold with Canada in 2010 and 2014. He was selected to three All-Star games. He has appeared in multiple Stanley Cup Finals — with Anaheim, Dallas, Montreal and Tampa Bay — without winning again after 2007. He became one of the most universally disliked opposing players in the league — deliberately irritating opponents, diving, goaltender interference, trash talk — while simultaneously producing at near-elite offensive levels for a decade. His combination of genuine offensive production and calculated antagonism made him unique in the modern game.
Won the Hart Memorial Trophy as NHL MVP in 2011 after leading the league with 50 goals.
How They Played
Perry was known as a power forward with exceptional hands and a nose for the net, combining size and skill to create scoring opportunities. He excelled at deflecting pucks in front of the goal and had a knack for scoring clutch goals in important situations. His physical style and willingness to play through traffic made him effective on the power play and in playoff hockey.
Lasting Impact
Perry's Hart Trophy win in 2011 established him as one of the elite players of his generation and one of the few power forwards to capture the league's top individual honor.
