Cory Schneider was born on March 18, 1986, in Marblehead, Massachusetts, and was selected by the Vancouver Canucks in the first round of the 2004 NHL Draft, 26th overall. Standing 6'3" and weighing 214 pounds, the left-catching goaltender went on to play 410 games in the NHL, finishing his career with 171 wins, a 2.43 goals-against average, a .918 save percentage, and 26 shutouts.
His early seasons in Vancouver were spent behind Roberto Luongo, appearing in 25, 33, and 30 games respectively from 2010 to 2013, with only 10 playoff appearances across three postseasons. In June 2013, the Canucks traded him to the New Jersey Devils, where he spent five seasons as the starter — sharing the ice briefly with Martin Brodeur in his first year there — averaging just over 54 games per season and a .917 save percentage over that stretch. Injuries began to limit his workload in the final years of his tenure with New Jersey, and he appeared in only 39 games total across his final two seasons with the club. He signed with the New York Islanders in December 2020 and played one more NHL game before closing out his career with two seasons in the AHL.
Mackenzie Blackwood, who played alongside Schneider in New Jersey as the younger goalie's NHL career was beginning, later reflected on what that partnership meant to him. "Cory's been huge for me coming in, and I would say the most that I've taken from him is just the mental side of the game," Blackwood said [1]. "He's got a really good approach, and he doesn't let things bother him too much." Blackwood also said of his former partner: "I'm very in awe of his passion and the way he comes in and approaches the game. He's been a good mentor for me, and honestly, I think that, if anyone could have been my goalie partner, I'm very, very lucky that it was him" [1].
At the time of his retirement, Schneider's .918 career save percentage was the ninth-best mark in NHL history [1]. InGoal Magazine has covered Cory Schneider in three podcast appearances and one InGoal article [2][3][4][1].
