Before turning pro, Schneider spent four seasons in Junior hockey, including the 2009-10 season where he played in all 72 games for the Portland Winterhawks helping the WHL club in one of the biggest turnarounds in major juniors. Schneider and the 'Hawks won 44 games in the 2009-10 season after only earning 19 victories the year before. A defensive, two-way forward, Schneider earned 23 points (12 goals, 11 assists) with a plus/minus of +7 and 42 minutes in penalties.
