Career

Cormier began skating at the age of four, originally playing ringette before beginning hockey at the age of five. She played on the same teams as her older brother, occasionally serving on the same defensive pairing together, until the peewee AAA level.^[1] During high school, she attended Stanstead College, playing for the school's girls' hockey programme.^[2]

In December 2020, she announced that she had committed to attending Princeton University, joining their NCAA women's hockey programme beginning in 2021.^[3]

Her brother, Lukas Cormier, was drafted 68th overall by the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.^[6]^[7]
