He won the Grey Cup with Ottawa in 1960. He played university football at Queen's University, where he was part of the Golden Gaels' 1955 Yates Cup championship.

During the 1965 off-season, Schreider became a founding member, and first president, of the Canadian Football League Players' Association. He did not return to the CFL for the 1965 season, going on to a career as a lawyer and judge.
