Family
His younger brother Adam Perry played alongside him on the London Knights' 2005 Memorial Cup-winning team. Adam currently is the Assistant Coach of the London Nationals Junior B Team. Corey currently lives in London, Ontario, Canada in the off season and in Newport Coast, CA during the NHL season.
His parents are Geoff, a policeman for the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), and Nancy. When he was three years old, Perry was watching a hockey game on television, holding a mini-stick, when he turned to his mother and said, "One day I'm going to play for you on TV, Mom." He got his first pair of skates from a close family friend, who oddly enough was the captain of the London Knights in 92-93 (Brett Marietti)
