Braden Schneider (born September 20, 2001) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman currently playing for the Hartford Wolf Pack in the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect to the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted 19th overall by the Rangers in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.[1][2]

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.[3] Because of the COVID-19 pandemic causing the Western Hockey League (WHL) to be on hold, Schneider began play in 2021 with the Rangers' American Hockey League (AHL) partner, the Hartford Wolf Pack, on an amateur tryout that would allow him to return to the Brandon Wheat Kings.[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.[5] On March 4, Schneider was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract by the Rangers.[6]
