Schneider, who has been with the organization for 12 years. After retiring from the NHL in 2010, Schneider was involved in many major decisions, such as changing the rules on boarding and headshots.
Schneider played eight seasons with the Montreal Canadiens during his 21-year NHL career. He played 1,289 games in his career, scoring 223 goals and contributing 743 assists. The Hockey Hall of Fame inducted Schneider in 2015.
