Playing career

Following the conclusion of his entry-level deal with the Sabres, on June 25, 2019, Cornel was not tendered a qualifying offer by Buffalo, releasing him to free agency. [2]

Following the completion of his fifth season with the Rochester Americans in the American Hockey League, having made 277 appearances for 78 points, Cornel left the club as a free agent. With the following North American season delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Cornel opted to sign his first contract abroad in agreeing to a one-year contract with German outfit, the Nürnberg Ice Tigers of the DEL for the 2020–21 season, on November 27, 2020. [3]

On July 14, 2021, Cornel left the Ice Tigers but continued in the DEL by signing a two-year contract with the Iserlohn Roosters. [4]
