Hockey blogger snares Olympic dream job

Of the hundreds of media personnel in Vancouver to cover the Olympics, Steve Glynn might be the most unlikely one who made the trip. Just a few months ago, he was familiar to only a few thousand diehard fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs, who knew him by his online pseudonym, Steve Dangle. But thanks to the popularity of the comical fan videos he records in his bedroom and posts to YouTube after each Leafs game, today he's rubbing elbows with Canadian hockey stars in Vancouver as part of a Web marketing initiative designed by Nike Canada. For the 21-year-old Ryerson University radio and television student, the trip to Vancouver is the latest in a string of new adventures which began with his video musings about the pitfalls of being a Leafs fan on YouTube.
