Corsi, 5-foot-10, 180 pounds, hails from Montreal, Quebec and played the last four seasons in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Last season, he ranked third in team scoring with the Halifax Mooseheads scoring 31 goals, 39 assists for 70 points in 67 games and led the team in penalty minutes with 116. His scoring stats are right behind New York Rangers 2008 third round draft pick Ryan Hillier. During this past playoff year with the Mooseheads, Corsi tied for the team lead in points with eight goals and 11 assists for 19 points in 15 games.

Wilkinson feels that Corsi can bring a lot to the Checkers roster, "P.J. is a very hard worker who is a versatile forward. Not only does he bring skill to the team, he also has an element of grit to his game."
