NHL Central Scouting's Jack Barzee

"Cory is an aggressive and tough player. He's a great skater with a good wrist shot and big shot from the point. He is really aware of his defensive responsibilities, always looking over his shoulder. He's going to be a warrior. He has a little bit of Coyotes' defenseman Ed Jovanovski in him and there won't be too many people who will want to play against him when he gets going.

Eastview hockey head coach, Drey Bradley 

Corey loves the physical game. He is a very strong skater, has great feet, balance and agility. He was the top defenseman in the Lake conference -- the strongest in the defensive zone, especially the corners, and he makes good decisions with the puck.
