READING, PA – The Reading Royals, proud affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers, announced defenseman Dominic Cormier as the newest signing of the 2021-22 season.
Cormier, a 23-year-old from Moncton, New Brunswick, spent four seasons in the QMJHL with Rimouski Oceanic and the Victoriaville Tigres before going to the University of Ottawa to participate in USports. Following his 27-game, 20-point year with Ottawa, he made the decision to go pro with the Royals for the 2020-21 season. He signed a contract before the team officially bowed out of a shortened season, which caused his ECHL rights to revert to the Royals for the coming 2021-22 campaign.
Instead of spending his rookie season with Reading, he played for Rapid City, Wheeling and Allen.
“I gained a lot of experience last year,” he said. “I learned what things to do, what things not to do, even though I moved around a bit. I think that only helps me be able to come into Reading and make an impact right away.”
He played alongside Frank DiChiara in Allen.
“Frank is awesome and super funny. He’ll do anything for his teammates, and I’m excited to link up again soon.”
In 33 games with the Allen Americans, the blueliner recorded 1 goal and 4 assists.
