Schneider, 40, also recently launched the &#8220;One Time All Stars&#8221; podcast with former Devils teammate Brian Boyle, who also spends his time in the TV world these days.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"67\">But, things are changing for the former netminder. According to Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News, Schneider <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/stefen_rosner\/status\/2046266652254150973?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">has taken over<\/a> as the goaltending coach for the AHL Bridgeport Islanders, as their goalie coach, Sergei Naumovs, has been promoted to the New York Islanders.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"de\" dir=\"ltr\">Cory Schneider is Bridgeport\u2019s goalie coach, filling Sergei Naumovs role after Sergei was elevated to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Isles?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#Isles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Stefen Rosner (@stefen_rosner) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stefen_rosner\/status\/2046266652254150973?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 20, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6d\">As for how it might affect Schneider&#8217;s TV and media roles going forward, it is worth noting that the Bridgeport Islanders are set to relocate to Hamilton, Ontario, which is a bit of a hike away from the New York media market.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6g\">It is also worth noting that, by taking up this coaching role with the Islanders organization, Schneider will be coaching at the professional level for the first time.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6j\">The 13-year NHL veteran has no proven track record in coaching, but Devils fans have <a href=\"https:\/\/pucksandpitchforks.com\/new-jersey-devils-need-to-hire-ian-clark-01jb1303v8vn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">long lamented the performance<\/a> of their goalies under goaltending coach Dave Rogalski, so it&#8217;s understandable if there is an element of nostalgia out there amongst some supporters.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6m\">Of course, things could still change with new GM Sunny Mehta taking over the Devils, and the future of Sheldon Keefe and his coaching staff <a href=\"https:\/\/pucksandpitchforks.com\/new-jersey-devils-season-finale-fail-should-elicit-big-changes\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">still very much uncertain<\/a> at this stage in the team&#8217;s offseason.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6p\">Schneider recorded his last NHL win playing for the Islanders against the Devils, making 27 saves on 30 shots in a 4-3 victory on April 3, 2022. On that note, it would appear Schneider has fully switched sides&#8230; for now.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow pucksandpitchforks.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=pucksandpitchforks.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\">Follow<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It may not be long before the New Jersey Devils see an old friend coaching in the NHL&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":556952,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5110],"tags":[5,122,3328,159,5190,5189,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-556951","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-islanders","8":"tag-hockey","9":"tag-islanders","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-islanders","12":"tag-newyork","13":"tag-newyorkislanders","14":"tag-nhl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116439620461205444","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/556951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=556951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/556951\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/556952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=556951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=556951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=556951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
