"Cory Franklin Schneider" is an American-Swiss professional ice hockey goaltender currently playing for the New Jersey Devils in the National Hockey League (NHL).

Schneider was selected in the first round, 26th overall, by the Canucks in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. Following his draft, he began a three-year tenure with the Boston College Eagles men's ice hockey/Boston College Eagles, winning two Lamoriello Trophy/Lamoriello Trophies as Hockey East champions and making two NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Championship/NCAA Final appearances during his college career. Schneider turned professional with Vancouver's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Manitoba Moose, in 2007–08 AHL season/2007 and was named the league's Aldege "Baz" Bastien Memorial Award/Goaltender of the Year following his second season. After three seasons with the Moose, he became the Canucks' full-time backup in 2010–11 NHL season/2010–11. In his first full season with the Canucks, he won the William M. Jennings Trophy with Roberto Luongo for establishing the best team goals against average (GAA) in the NHL. The following campaign, he set Canucks records for best GAA and save percentage in a single season with 1.96 and .937 marks, respectively. At the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, Schneider was traded to the New Jersey Devils for the 9th overall selection.

It's not too bad. You try to downplay it. It's part of being a good team. You have to play in tough environments.

He's a hard-nosed player. He's not afraid to mix it up and get in people's faces. That probably wasn't the best move on his part. But he doesn't give an inch.

The team is playing well in front of me. They are blocking shots, and we got a couple of lucky bounces. This game was a lot of fun to be a part of.

We want it. It's so prestigious and something you'll always remember if you win it. That's the first of many goals we have for ourselves this season.

I felt good tonight. The first period was like a shooting gallery at both ends. Down the stretch my forwards and defensemen did a great job blocking shots. They really helped me out.

We are not that disappointed. That's probably the best team we will play. I thought it was the ultimate road game, and we will be battle-tested for whomever we play (tomorrow).

That's probably the best team in the tournament we'll play.

That one surprised me a little bit. I didn't see the guy right there on the doorstep. It's my fault for not being on the post.

We played pretty well, considering this was the ultimate road game.
