As a youth, Corbet played in the 1986 and 1987
Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournaments with the
Longueuil Chevaliers Selects
minor ice hockey team. Corbet was drafted in the second round (24th overall) of the
1991 NHL entry draft by the
Quebec Nordiques. A highly touted prospect, Corbet was a prolific scorer in the
Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) with the
Drummondville Voltigeurs, winning the
Jean Béliveau Trophy in his final season in
1992–93. Corbet made his professional debut in the
1993–94 NHL season and played nine games with the Nordiques, scoring a goal and an assist. Corbet played primarily for the Nordiques'
American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the
Cornwall Aces, and won the
Dudley "Red" Garrett Memorial Award but played a further eight games with Quebec in its final season. Following the franchise's relocation to Denver, Corbet won the
Stanley Cup with the
Colorado Avalanche in its inaugural season in
1995-96. Corbet established himself the following season with the
Presidents' Trophy-winning Avalanche in
1996-97 posting 27 points in 76 games. During his fourth season with the Avalanche in
1998–99 Corbet was traded, along with
Wade Belak and
Robyn Regehr, to the
Calgary Flames for
Theoren Fleury and
Chris Dingman on February 28, 1999. Corbet recorded a career-high 31 points to finish the season with the Flames. Unable to replicate the scoring pace from his junior career, Corbet settled into a checking line role and after only 48 games with the Flames in the
1999–2000 season, he was again traded, along with
Tyler Moss to the
Pittsburgh Penguins for
Brad Werenka on March 14, 2000. Corbet re-signed a one-year deal with the Penguins for the
2000–01 season. Corbet was besieged with injuries, missing half the year but returned to help the Pittsburgh to the Conference finals before moving to Germany in 2001 to join
Adler Mannheim of the
Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL). Corbet played with Mannheim for the next eight years, leaving the team as the franchise leader in goals (130) and captaining the team to the German Championship in 2007 and two cups. On October 26, 2009, he signed with Norwegian team Frisk Tigers of the GET-ligaen for the 2009–10 season. He signed a one-year extension prior to the 2010-11 season and announced his retirement at the conclusion of the year. ==Career statistics==
