Owen LaForme’s Reviews > This Team Is Ruining My Life (But I Love Them): How I Became a Professional Hockey Fan > Status Update

The story on how Steve met his wife was just the cutest. I’m glad Steve loved being a seat filler at the 2007 NHL awards but that’s quite pathetic of the NHL to hire people to fill seats. I am not bored at all by Steve’s story.

I’m really glad Steve talked about anxiety, as it is something I suffer with A LOT. The phrase “snitches get hired at the zoo” I found hilarious. The giraffe story was wild, I’d be panicking so bad. Had no clue that Steve & his podcast co host/friend Adam Wylde went to high school together.

All of us have a teacher that means a lot to us, love reading about Steve having that too, very relatable for me. I had a teacher in grade 5 named Ms. McKinnion, she is my favourite teacher I ever had, she left such a big impact on me, I was sad when she left our school, she was a big hockey fan, we connected over that. Steve is just such a good dude and the more I read the more I just appreciate him as a person.

I’ve been watching the Steve Dangle podcast for years and me and the whole audience have gotten to know Steve through the podcast but I had no idea about his sister and everything she had gone through, I can’t even imagine what that was like for him and his family. This goes without saying but Steve is so grateful for his family. Absolutely loving this so far.
