That sent the fan in me off, I recorded a mini-rant and it grew from there,\u201d said Dangle when asked on how his videos started.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dangle is most famous for his LeafsFanReaction or LFR videos where he reacts to every single Leafs game and uploads it onto YouTube.

I had never played hockey before so working at a sports outlet never seems realistic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In late 2011, Dangle got involved with CBC as an associate producer in the digital department writing scripts for highlight packs and voicing them. Sportsnet came calling in September 2014 for a behind-the-scenes role finding interesting stories about hockey, which then evolved into content contributing and content creation.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9687\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gh360.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/steve-sportsnet-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Steve Dangle at sportsnet\" width=\"559\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gh360.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/steve-sportsnet-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gh360.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/steve-sportsnet-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gh360.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/steve-sportsnet-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gh360.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/steve-sportsnet.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Dangle still works at Sportsnet creating content for their social media and web pages but he says his journey in the sports media industry hasn\u2019t been without setbacks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMostly just getting laid off all the time.
