Cory Schneider: podcast appearances and interviews

Cory Franklin Schneider, born on March 18, 1986, is an American former professional ice hockey goaltender. He played for the Vancouver Canucks, New Jersey Devils, and New York Islanders in the National Hockey League. Schneider was selected 26th overall in the first round of the 2004 NHL entry draft by the Canucks. After being drafted, he spent three years with the Boston College Eagles, where he won two Lamoriello Trophies as Hockey East champions and made two NCAA Final appearances. He began his professional career with Vancouver's American Hockey League affiliate, the Manitoba Moose, in 2007 and was named the league's Goaltender of the Year following his second season. Schneider became the Canucks' full-time backup in the 2010-11 season and, in his first full NHL season, shared the William M. Jennings Trophy with Roberto Luongo for the team's best goals against average. He set team records for best goals against average and save percentage in a single season with marks of 1.96 and .937, respectively. In 2013, Schneider was traded to the New Jersey Devils for the ninth overall pick in the draft. During his seven-year tenure with the Devils, he delivered several strong seasons despite the team’s overall struggles, with his performance declining significantly approaching the 2017-18 playoffs. The Devils bought out the remainder of his contract in 2020. Internationally, Schneider has represented the United States at various junior levels, winning medals at the 2003 U-18 Junior World Cup and IIHF World U18 Championships, and competing in the 2005 and 2006 World Junior Championships. Due to his Swiss ancestry, he also holds Swiss citizenship.
