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.

[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.
