Close

Corrigan was born in Ottawa, Ontario. His best season was 1972-73 when he tallied 37 goals for the Kings. He was often paired with Bob Berry and Juha Widing on a line nicknamed "The Hot Line." In the 1975-76 season, he had 22 goals. In a memorable playoff game (game 6 of the quarterfinals) vs. the Boston Bruins, he was tripped but scored while lying on his stomach in the waning moments to tie a game the Kings won in overtime.

Very early in his junior hockey days, Corrigan played a little goalie and often remarked that if both goalies got injured in the same game, he would be the emergency goaltender.
