Inside the World of Hockey Media with Steve Dangle

Episode 16 of The PuckPedia Hockey Show features one of the most recognizable voices in hockey media — Steve Dangle. From his early days uploading LFR videos to YouTube to becoming a multi-platform personality, Steve gives a candid and hilarious look at the realities of working in the hockey content world.

He also dives deep into the NHL’s approach to content and why the league often struggles to maximize its own viral moments. As he puts it, “Wouldn’t it be great if more people saw it? And the answer time and time again appears to be… nah.”

The conversation shifts to Steve’s favorite subject — the Toronto Maple Leafs — where he breaks down their early-season struggles, system changes, and why the team’s issues extend beyond simple injuries or bad luck. His analysis touches on coaching adjustments, defensive breakdowns, and the emotional impulse behind fan-led calls for trades.

“If you win the next three games, you’re still pretty close to the exact same team,” he explains. “Whatever moves you’re working on to make your team better… you should make them now.”

To close out the episode, Steve offers heartfelt advice for anyone looking to break into hockey media today. His message centers on consistency, adaptability, and staying committed to the long game.

“I know you want to be overnight successful — it doesn’t work that way. Be open to change, have fun with it, and don’t quit.”

Whether you’re a longtime fan of Steve’s content or someone curious about what it takes to build a career in modern hockey media, this episode delivers an honest, entertaining, and insightful look behind the curtain.
