A native of Williamsville, N.Y., Schneider recently completed his third full professional season with the AHL’s Binghamton Senators, establishing new career highs in goals (29), assists (29) and points (58). He led the B-Sens in goals while concluding the campaign ranking third among Binghamton players in scoring. In 209 professional games (all of which have occurred with Binghamton) Schneider ranks fifth among all-time B-Sens in both goals (66) and points (149) while his 83 assists see him sit ninth in franchise history.
