As a youth, Cornet played in the 2003 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with the Val'd-Or Foreurs minor ice hockey team.[1]
Before turning professional, Cornet played major junior hockey in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League with Rimouski Oceanic and the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies.
On May 4, 2010, the Edmonton Oilers signed Cornet to a three-year entry-level contract.[2]
During the 2011–12 season, Cornet made his NHL debut on January 31, 2012, skating for the Oilers in a 3-2 home game win over the Colorado Avalanche. On just his second shift, he earned an assist on a Jordan Eberle goal.[3]
On August 7, 2013, Cornet was signed as a free agent to a one-year AHL contract with the San Antonio Rampage.[4] He attended NHL affiliate, the Florida Panthers training camp before returning to the Rampage to start the 2013–14 season. After only 4 games with the Rampage, Cornet was reassigned to the ECHL's Cincinnati Cyclones. On November 22, 2013, he returned to the AHL after the Rampage traded Cornet to the Charlotte Checkers in exchange for Adam Brace.
On August 18, 2014, Cornet agreed to a one-year AHL contract as a free agent with the Hershey Bears.[5]
