Corey Perry (born May 16, 1985) is a Canadian professional ice hockey winger and an alternate captain for the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League (NHL). Drafted out of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), he captured a Memorial Cup with the London Knights and a gold medal with Canada at the World Junior Championships during his major junior career.
Perry was selected by the Ducks 28th overall in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft and won the Stanley Cup with the club in 2007. In 2008, Perry's numbers improved after scoring 29 goals and 25 assists. In 2009, Perry scored 72 points and was named to his first NHL All-Star Game. Perry continued his success in 2010 as he scored 27 goals and had 49 assists. In 2011, Perry won the Hart Memorial Trophy as the National Hockey League MVP for the 2010–11 season. He led the NHL with 50 goals and finished third in points behind Daniel Sedin and Martin St. Louis, with 98.
Internationally, Perry has won gold medals with Canada at the 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympics. Perry became a member of the Triple Gold Club after captaining Canada to gold at the 2016 IIHF World Championships, in addition to previously winning the Stanley Cup and the Olympic gold medal. Perry is only the second player (joining Scott Niedermayer) to combine Triple Gold membership with gold at the World Junior Championships, a Memorial Cup win, and a World Cup of Hockey win.
