Corinne Schroeder

Corinne Schroeder (born August 17, 1999) is a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender for the PWHL San Jose of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL), having previously played for the Seattle Torrent and New York Sirens of the PWHL, and the Boston Pride of the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF). A standout collegiate goaltender, she played college ice hockey for Boston University and Quinnipiac University, where she set program records for save percentage and goals against average and earned All-American honors.

During the 2022–23 PHF season with the Boston Pride, she set a league record by recording three consecutive shutouts to open her rookie campaign and went on to win both PHF Goaltender of the Year and Rookie of the Year. She then joined the PWHL, being selected 33rd overall by PWHL New York in the inaugural 2023 PWHL Draft, and made history by recording the first-ever shutout in the league’s inaugural game on January 1, 2024, against PWHL Toronto. She finished her first PWHL season with a .930 save percentage and was nominated for the 2024 PWHL Goaltender of the Year award.

In the 2024–25 PWHL season, she led all goaltenders with four shutouts, bringing her career regular‑season total to five and setting a PWHL record for most shutouts by a goaltender. She made her senior national team debut with Team Canada during the 2023–24 Rivalry Series against the United States in November 2023.

Early life Corinne Schroeder was born on August 17, 1999, in Elm Creek, Manitoba, a local urban district in the Pembina Valley Region with a population of approximately 400 people, located about 50 kilometers west of Winnipeg. She grew up in the middle of five children on her family's 2,000-acre farm, where they farmed grain with her uncle and operated a chicken barn.

Schroeder switched to playing goaltender full-time when she was approximately 12 years old. At Balmoral Hall, Schroeder played alongside future ZhHL champion Ryleigh Houston, future SDHL players Morgan Wabick and Taylor Wabick, and future PHF player Kaity Howarth. She also represented Team Manitoba at the 2016 National Women's Under-18 Championship.

As a freshman in 2017–18, Schroeder started all 25 games and was named to the Hockey East All-Rookie Team. She earned Hockey East Defensive Player of the Week honors on November 20, 2017.

Quinnipiac University (2021–2022) Presented with the opportunity to play a fifth year of NCAA college eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Schroeder selected to join the Quinnipiac Bobcats women's ice hockey program in the ECAC Hockey conference as a graduate student for the 2021–22 season. Her first start with the Bobcats came on September 25, 2021, a 5–1 victory against the Maine Black Bears. During the game, Schroeder made women's college ice hockey history as the first goaltender credited with a goal after the puck was misplayed by Maine into their own goal following a kick save by Schroeder.

The history-making debut set the tone for her season, during which she recorded six shutouts and finished with the third-best save percentage and sixth-best goals against average in the country; her .951 SV% set a single-season program record. She recorded a 15–8–2 overall record and posted a 1.44 goals against average, which ranked sixth in the country.

Schroeder concluded her college ice hockey career playing in the 2022 NCAA women's ice hockey tournament, her first NCAA tournament. She earned a shutout in the first round against the Syracuse Orange in a 4–0 victory, the first NCAA tournament win and first shutout in Quinnipiac Bobcats program history. Prior to the national quarterfinals, her career high stops in a single game had been 42 saves. The 73-save game set a Quinnipiac Bobcats women's ice hockey program single-game record and ties for sixth in the NCAA Division I women's ice hockey all-time record book.

Professional Boston Pride (2022–23) In August 2022, the Boston Pride officially announced they had signed Schroeder for the 2022–23 PHF season—though the signing had been inadvertently leaked in late July via the rosters published by Hockey Canada for the Canadian national team selection camps for the 2022 IIHF Women's World Championship. Schroeder highlighted the season length, which would provide needed game experience, as a significant part of her decision to sign in the PHF. Regarding the opportunity to play at the professional level, Schroeder explained, "I would say this is what I've been working for my whole life... It's honestly a dream and one that I never really knew I could have growing up but now it's a reality."

Schroeder defends in goal against Jonna Curtis of the Minnesota Whitecaps, November 2022 Schroeder made her professional debut on November 5, 2022, against the Connecticut Whale in a 4–0 victory, making 36 saves to become just the third goaltender in PHF history to post a shutout in their first career start. The following day, she recorded 27 saves in a 2–0 victory over the Metropolitan Riveters, becoming the sixth goaltender in PHF history to post back-to-back shutouts. Her shutout streak lasted a total of 183 minutes and 15 seconds across three different opponents. For her performance in November, Schroeder was named PHF Player of the Month. She was named to the PHF All-Star Game, which was held on January 29, 2023, in Toronto, as a member of Team Canada.

Schroeder concluded her rookie season with a historic performance, setting three PHF single-season records: 19 wins, seven shutouts (shattering the previous mark of three), and 761 total saves. Her overall record of 19–1–1 was compiled over a franchise-record 22 starts and helped the Pride finish in first place in the league's regular season standings. For her outstanding rookie campaign, Schroeder was awarded both the PHF Rookie of the Year and PHF Goaltender of the Year honors. Schroeder made history in the PWHL's inaugural game on January 1, 2024, recording the first-ever PWHL shutout with 29 saves in a 4–0 victory over PWHL Toronto at Mattamy Athletic Centre before more than 2,500 fans in attendance and nearly three million watching from home. Her teammates nicknamed her "brick wall" for her consistently focused performance. She recorded 30 or more saves in nine of her 15 starts, including two career-high performances of 39 saves on January 14 and February 4, both of which resulted in overtime victories for her team.

For her performance, Schroeder was voted as one of three finalists for the 2024 PWHL Goaltender of the Year Award. New York General Manager Pascal Daoust commented, "Beyond her physical presence and athleticism, her relentless determination to improve every day on and off the ice and become the best version of herself makes her a key player in our pursuit of excellence and championship."

In the 2024–25 PWHL season, with the team now branded as the New York Sirens, Schroeder played 20 games and recorded 10 wins, eight losses, one overtime loss, and one shootout loss. She posted a 2.43 goals-against average and .919 save percentage. She also became the first goaltender to post back-to-back shutouts twice in the same season. The January 12 game marked the first time in PWHL regular-season history that a game ended 0–0 in regulation. During the league's expansion to eight teams ahead of the 2025–26 PWHL season, Schroeder was left unprotected by the Sirens and signed a two-year contract with PWHL Seattle on June 6, 2025.

Schroeder started Seattle's first two games of the season, including the franchise's inaugural game on November 21, 2025, a 4–3 overtime loss to the Vancouver Goldeneyes before a sold-out crowd of 14,958 at Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver. She was in net for the team's inaugural home opener on November 28, 2025, at Climate Pledge Arena against the two-time defending Walter Cup champion Minnesota Frost. The game set a U.S. attendance record for professional women's hockey with 16,014 fans in attendance, surpassing the previous record of 14,288 set during the Detroit Takeover Tour stop on March 16, 2025. The attendance also marked the highest-attended primary home venue game in PWHL history.

Following the home opener, Seattle head coach Steve O'Rourke implemented a goaltending tandem approach with Schroeder and Hannah Murphy, who earned her first PWHL career start on December 3 in Seattle's first franchise win, a 2–1 victory over the New York Sirens. Schroeder returned to the net on December 21 against the Boston Fleet, making impressive saves throughout the game despite a 3–1 loss, posting a season-high .921 save percentage on 38 shots. Schroeder has three career wins against the Montreal Victoire, tied for third-most in league history.

PWHL San Jose (2026–present) On June 5, 2026, Schroeder became the first ever player signed by PWHL San Jose, joining after being left unprotected by the Seattle Torrent during Phase Two of the league's Expansion Roster Distribution Process. She was signed through the 2027–28 season.
