Cory Schneider won the William M. Jennings with Roberto Luongo in 2010/11, but as Vancouver’s backup, he did not get the time between the pipes he coveted.  That changed when he was traded to the New Jersey Devils, where Schneider was their lead Goalie and was an All-Star in 2016, the only year he received Vezina votes (6^th).

He would have an overall career record of 171-159-58 with a GAA of 2.43.

Cory Schneider was a co-winner of the William M. Jennings Trophy with the Vancouver Canucks in 2010/11, but the most Games he played in as a Canuck in a season was 30.  Schneider was traded for a First Round Pick in the 2013 off-season, and he was finally able to be the first string Goalie on an NHL team.
