Playing career

Before attending Boston College, Sneep played for the Lincoln Stars of the USHL, based out of Lincoln, NE. He was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2nd round (32nd overall) of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. He played his first NHL game for the Penguins on December 17, 2011 against the Buffalo Sabres. He also recorded an assist, his first NHL point, during that game.

On January 24, 2013, Sneep was traded from the Penguins to the Dallas Stars in exchange for a conditional seventh round draft pick.[1]

On April 9, 2013, Sneep was traded from the Texas Stars to the Peoria Rivermen for Brett Sonne.[2] Both players are considered to be loaned and remain property of their respective clubs.[3] With no contract offer extended by the Stars at the conclusion of the season, Sneep was released as a free agent.

On August 27, 2013, Sneep agreed to a one-year contract with ECHL club, the Idaho Steelheads.[4] After thirteen games with the Steelheads, Sneep announced he was leaving the team with the intention of retiring from professional hockey. The Steelheads suspended Sneep indefinitely, which also secured his ECHL rights for the remainder of his contract.[5] Sneep did not return to the Steelheads and is considered retired.[6]
