Steve began playing hockey as a squirt in Bloomington, but when his family moved to Dallas, Denver and Des Moines, respectively – all by the time he was a freshman in high school – he adapted, developing an unconventional hockey background. Steve attended the U of M, where he lettered in football, before becoming a sports producer at WCCO TV, as well as writer and director of highlight films and content for the North Stars, Chicago Blackhawks and Pittsburgh Penguins. Nowadays, when he’s not writing for MHM or Eden Prairie Local News, he’s a creative director for StoryTeller Media in the Twin Cities.

Ryan started to enjoy hockey as a kid when he started playing roller hockey with his friends in their respective driveways. However, his enthusiasm started to grow more when the Minnesota Wild had their inaugural season in 2000 and fully blossomed when he was at the University of North Dakota and he started attending Fighting Sioux (now Fighting Hawks) games on a regular basis. He's a former sports writer for three previous newspapers, most recently with the Mining Journal in Marquette, Michigan, where he covered Northern Michigan hockey for seven years. He currently does freelance work as a sports reporter, operates his own hockey blog, http://www.thetripledeke.com, and is on a college hockey podcast called MNCAA. He also continues to watch and follow the Wild, Minnesota Twins, Minnesota Vikings and college hockey. You can follow him on Twitter/X @ryanstieg.
