[Morreale]_Want to wish Cory Schneider a very happy retirement, as he’s certainly earned it! Cory always was a class act, win or lose. He was great in the locker room, highly respected for his work ethic and character, & always made himself available to the media (link to Mike’s story in comments)

   [Schneider retires from NHL after 13 seasons](https://www.nhl.com/news/cory-schneider-retires-from-nhl)

   NHL.com staff writers **Mike G. Morreale** and **Tom Gulitti** contributed to this report *(I ran out of room in the title for Tom to be listed).*

   Excerpt:

   __He helped the Devils qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2017-18 when he finished 17-16-6 with a 2.93 GAA and .907 save percentage in 40 regular-season games. He missed much of the second half of the season because of a groin injury but played three games in the best-of-7 Eastern Conference First Round series loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Schneider had a 1.78 GAA and a .950 save percentage in four playoff games (three starts).

   “I know that’s been dissected a bunch playing behind Roberto and Marty, but at the end of the day, not many people get to work with people they had posters of on their wall as kids,” Schneider said. “I kind of a look at it as a wonderful opportunity to see the best of the best in the world do what they do up close and personal and develop relationships and friendships with them.

   “In terms of my career timing-wise, it probably wasn’t ideal, but you don’t really get to pick and choose how your path is going to go and that was my path and I tried to learn all I could from those guys because they’re two of the greatest of all-time for a reason and we should all be so lucky to work with people like that in our professional careers whatever you do.”__
