Robert Freeman Corkum (born December 18, 1967) is a former American professional ice hockey center and currently serves as a coach. He was chosen 47th overall by the Buffalo Sabres during the 1986 NHL Entry Draft.
Playing career
Corkum competed for the United States at the 1987 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. Following four years at the University of Maine, he made his professional debut with Buffalo’s American Hockey League team, the Rochester Americans, in the 1989–90 AHL season. That same season, he also took part in eight regular-season games and five playoff contests with the Sabres. Corkum remained with Buffalo into the early 1990s until being picked by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the 1993 NHL Expansion Draft.
Throughout his NHL tenure, he also played for the Philadelphia Flyers, Phoenix Coyotes, Los Angeles Kings, New Jersey Devils, and Atlanta Thrashers. At the trade deadline of the 2001–02 season, the Thrashers sent him back to Buffalo. After completing that season with the Sabres, Corkum retired from professional play. Over his NHL career, he appeared in 720 games, tallying 97 goals and 103 assists, totaling 200 points. His peak performance occurred during the 1993–94 season with Anaheim, where he amassed 23 goals and 28 assists.
Coaching career
On August 22, 2008, Corkum returned to his alma mater, the University of Maine, assuming the role of associate head coach. Before this appointment, he spent four years coaching junior hockey within the EJHL and also led Newburyport High School's team in Massachusetts.
On April 30, 2013, USA Hockey named Corkum as head coach for Team USA at the 2013 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament held in Slovakia.
