·      His brother, Brayden, plays for the Brandon Wheat Kings and led all WHL rookies in scoring with 71 points (28-43-71) in 2007-08.

 

·      He is billeted by the same family that Nashville Predators defender Shea Weber stayed with during his three seasons with the Rockets – Schenn was called up for the final few games of the 2004-05 season and spent time with Weber on and off the ice and names Weber as one of his mentors.

 

·      He started playing hockey on his backyard rink at the age of four and grew up playing in the Saskatoon Minor Hockey Association as well as for the Saskatoon Contacts. 

 

·     He patterns his game after Colorado defenseman Adam Foote "because he plays physical and well defensively".
