Corinne Schroeder

Corinne Schroeder recorded the first shutout in PWHL history on January 1, 2024 — a 29-save performance in the league's inaugural game. That debut, she later admitted, came with nerves she worked to manage in real time. Growing up in Elm Creek, Manitoba, Schroeder took a path through two NCAA programs and the PHF before arriving on professional hockey's biggest stage.

Schroeder played her first college hockey at Boston University, where she earned Hockey East All-Rookie Team recognition in 2017–18, Hockey East Third Team All-Star honors in 2018–19, and a Beanpot Tournament title with the Terriers in 2019. She was also named National Goaltender of the Month in December 2018 and again in December 2019, and received Hockey East Second Team All-Star recognition in 2019–20. She transferred to Quinnipiac, where in 2021–22 she posted a 15-8-2 record with six shutouts for the Bobcats and became a finalist for the NCAA Women's Goaltender of the Year Award. Her international record includes a silver medal with Team Canada at the 2017 Under-18 IIHF World Championship.

Her professional debut came with the Boston Pride in the 2022–23 PHF season, where she led all goaltenders in goals-against average (1.67) and save percentage (.955). That season she won both PHF Goaltender of the Year and Rookie of the Year, and finished second on the NWHL/PHF all-time leaderboard for career shutouts with seven. She was selected 33rd overall by PWHL New York in the inaugural 2023 PWHL Draft.

In her first PWHL season, she faced 451 shots — the third most in the league — despite playing six fewer games than the two goalies ahead of her, and finished second in the league with a .936 save percentage. She was nominated for the 2024 PWHL Goaltender of the Year award. Her senior national team debut came with Team Canada during the 2023–24 Rivalry Series against the United States in November 2023. In the 2024–25 season she led all PWHL goaltenders with four shutouts, bringing her career regular-season total to five and setting a PWHL record for most shutouts by a goaltender. She has since played for the Seattle Torrent and currently plays for PWHL San Jose.

On Episode 251 of the InGoal Radio Podcast ^[1], Schroeder discussed how she stays mentally engaged during games when her team controls play for long stretches — a challenge she described as one of the hardest in goaltending. Kevin Woodley's accompanying piece ^[2] unpacks the specific mental technique she uses, in her own words, and is available to InGoal subscribers.
