Houle went on to say "Corey excels in skill development and his knowledge of the game and his ability to communicate and use video analytics to help the new generation of players is a great asset to our storied program. As the landscape of college hockey is changing at a rapid pace, Corey's past year experience of recruiting at the CHL and USHL level ensures a seamless transition."
