HE may have landed in South Yorkshire months after all his team-mates, but Dominic Cormier had no less of an impact for Sheffield Steelers in a memorable 2023-24 campaign.
The 26-year-old defender was a significant contributor to the treble-winning season under Aaron Fox, meaning it is not surprising that he is back for a second full season. After arriving in mid-November and despite having played more than 10 games less than the majority of his fellow blue liners, Cormier ended the season as the team’s third top-scoring D-man with eight goals and 26 assists in 56 appearances.
“Dom’s speed allows him to have great gap control and defend well against the league’s top-end players night in and out. I’m very happy to get this deal done and I believe he will be a key player for us again next year.” For left-hander Cormier, who came to Sheffield having started 2023-24 with Stjernen in Norway’s top-flight, there was little convincing that needed to be done over him returning for a second season. “I loved my time there right from day one,” said Cormier.
