Jr. | D | Medicine Hat, Alberta
Schreiber's
18 points in 20 CHA games last season led all conference
defensemen.
Key
Statistics: Schreiber was one of a handful of defensemen
in the nation to register double-digit goals last year, finishing
with 10 markers and 11 assists. Six of his goals came as the
quarterback of the Chargers’ top power-play unit. Played
in all 31 games and was whistled for just nine penalties.
What
He Does: During his first two years in the Deep South,
Schreiber started slowly before finally getting it going in
the second half of the season. He said he has worked hard
this summer to improve his early-season conditioning. On the
ice, Schreiber has an enviable shot, especially when he gets
a little bit of breathing room on the power play. He loves
take one-timers, although he tends to hit a lot of pipes with
them.
The
Bigger Picture: After being a nearly unanimous all-league
selection last year, Schreiber enters the new season as the
most-celebrated blueliner in the CHA. And he doesn’t
shy away from such praise. “With Bryce Methven graduated
from Bemidji, it’s kind of up for grabs. We were both
all-league last year, but he’s gone and I’m the
only one left. It’s up to me to take it and be the best
defenseman.” A tougher task for Schreiber will be trying
to push UAH past Bemidji State and Niagara to the top of the
CHA standings this year.
Schreiber,
on the toughest CHA player he’s faced: "(Former
Findlay and current Niagara forward) Kris Wiebe. That guy
always finishes his checks. I kind of like to think of myself
as a little bit of a softer player. I don’t like getting
hit, and I don’t know why anyone would. But Wiebe is
always in my face, getting under my skin. I know that improving
my rough game could probably help me down the road. I’m
working on that.”
