“Don’t fear failure. Compete 100%. Enjoy the process. Play for others.” C ory Schneider wrote those short, simple phrases over two pieces of masking tape and placed them on the upper inside cuff of his blocker before making his season debut in his first appearance as the Vancouver Canucks new full-time backup. For the 24-year-old it wasn’t about dealing with that particular moment – or the pressure of becoming just the third goalie to start ahead of Roberto Luongo for a Vancouver home game – but rather something that has helped in moments like it before. “It’s something I started doing in college,” Schneider explained . “Sometimes it gets frantic and hectic back there and you start doubting yourself so it’s good to have little reminders to look down at every once and a while.” 46 InGoal Magazine Summer Camp Edition
