MEDICINE HAT, AB — The Medicine Hat Tigers continue to make moves in the Western Hockey League offseason.

Schneider was traded to the Calgary Hitmen on Friday in exchange for a fourth round pick in the 2019 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft.

Schneider, who is entering his 20-year-old season this fall, joined the Tigers in 2014 after being traded by the Regina Pats. This past season, Schneider appeared in 47 games, finishing with a 3.43 goals against average and an .886 save percentage. Schneider was also involved in the community, starting a Student of the Month program this season, and sharing the Community Service award with Mark Rassell this season.

Schneider was signed by the Calgary Flames in 2015.
