Playing career
Schneider finished his 2019–20 season for the Brandon Wheat Kings with 35 assists and 42 points. Schneider was drafted 19th overall by the New York Rangers in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.[3] Because of the COVID-19 pandemic causing the Western Hockey League (WHL) to be on hold, Schneider began play in 2021 with the Rangers' American Hockey League (AHL) partner, the Hartford Wolf Pack, on an amateur tryout that would allow him to return to the Wheat Kings.[4] He made his professional debut with the Wolf Pack, totaling two appearances for one assist before he was returned to junior on February 13, 2021.[5] On March 4, Schneider was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract by the Rangers.[6]
Schneider made his NHL debut against the San Jose Sharks on January 13, 2022.[7][8] He scored his first NHL goal in the same game, becoming the seventh Rangers defenceman to score a goal in his NHL debut.[7][8]
