He began his career playing for the Pittsburgh Yellow Jackets, shortly before [[World War I]] broke out. In 1918, Joe enlisted in the U.S. Army. His younger brother, [[Lawrence McCormick|Lawrence]], followed his lead shortly afterwards. Joe served in the Army in [[France]] during the war. Because the brothers held an honorable discharge from the Army, they were entitled to automatic US citizenship and on March 17, 1920, just five weeks before playing in the [[1920 Summer Olympics]], they both became naturalized Americans.<ref name="Hockeynet">{{cite web|first=Roger A.|last=Godin|title=First U.S. Olympic hockey team was formed in Pittsburgh|url=http://pittsburghhockey.net/exclusives/1920-u-s-olympic-team-born-in-burgh|accessdate=May 1, 2012|publisher=Pittsburgh Hockey.net}}</ref><br />

The January 23, 1922 issue of the ''Pittsburgh Post-Gazette'' described McCormick as "one of the cleanest and fairest players to ever don a uniform". The ''Post-Gazette'' also stated that he had one of the most powerful shots in hockey, "shooting past goaltenders from 50 feet away". He later ended his career with the Portland Rosebuds in 1925.<ref>{{cite web|title=1925-26 Portland Rosebuds vs Saskatoon Shieks Game Program|url=http://www.portlandbuckaroos.com/pcha_pchl_page_3.shtml|publisher=Portland Bucakaroos|accessdate=May 1, 2012}}</ref> On October 7, 1925, McCormick was traded to Portland along with Bobby Trapp in exchange for Eddie Shore and Art Gagne.<ref>{{cite web|title=Art Gagne|work=Legends of Hockey|publisher=Hockey Hall of Fame|url=http://www.legendsofhockey.net/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/SearchPlayer.jsp?player=12662|accessdate=May 1, 2012}}</ref><br />
