However, having a smaller talent pool hasn’t stopped New Brunswick from leaving its mark on hockey history. Tragically, the most successful World Junior player ever from New Brunswick is no longer with us. Other New Brunswick-born World Junior gold medalists include former NHL forwards Scott Pellerin (1990) and Patrice Cormier (2009) and defenceman Lukas Cormier (2022), a Vegas Golden Knights prospect. Patrice Cormier, who also got a silver medal in 2010, is not related to his younger namesake.
