In 1979, Chueden was on the Canadian U-20 team at the 1979 FIFA World Youth Championship.[1]
Chueden played three seasons in the North American Soccer League, two with the Montreal Manic and one with the San Diego Sockers.[2] In 1985, Chueden signed with the Cleveland Force of the Major Indoor Soccer League.[3] On March 6, 1987, the Force traded Chueden to the Los Angeles Lazers in exchange for Paul Kitson.[4] He spent one season in the Canadian Soccer League playing for the Edmonton Brickmen.[5] Chueden then returned to the Sockers, who at that point were playing indoor in the MISL. There he played for one season, 1988-1989.[6]
Chueden, together with three other Canadian players (Igor Vrablic, Hector Marinaro and David Norman), was involved in a match fixing betting scandal at the 1986 Merlion Cup tournament in Singapore. He never played for Canada again.[7]
