He would have at least one point in nine of the last ten Kelly Cup Playoff games. Xavier also got the opportunity to play alongside his brother Tommy Cormier this season in Trois-Rivières. Xavier Cormier is the fourth member of the Lions to head overseas this offseason.

During his three seasons in the ECHL, the Point-Rouge, Quebec native spent time with the Florida Everblades, Fort Wayne Komets, and Trois-Rivières Lions. He’s put up 40 goals and 93 assists for 133 points in 181 games. Cormier did see five games of AHL experience with the Charlotte Checkers during his rookie season. Prior to going pro, he spent parts of five seasons in the QMJHL with the Quebec Remparts, Shawinigan Cataractes, and Rimouski Oceanic. He would put up 59 goals and 88 assists for 147 points in 203 games. Cormier had three goals and eight assists for 11 points in 18 career QMJHL playoff games.
