YouTube’s Hockey Guy Keeps the Ice Tilted His Way with Wry NHL Takes
As a self-taught sports analyst, YouTube personality “The Hockey Guy” has built a massive following by keeping his channel focused on in-depth analysis of National Hockey League (NHL) games and storylines. The result? He’s now one of the most popular hockey-focused channels on the platform.
Skanes, aka The Hockey Guy, attributes his success to his dedication to being even-handed and not indulging in hype or speculation. “I don’t want to be one of those guys who is always talking about the same old teams,” he said during an interview. He’s keenly aware that many NHL fans are looking for something new and different from their online content.
One key factor contributing to The Hockey Guy’s popularity has been his ability to tap into the growing interest in hockey, particularly among a younger demographic. “I think it’s because I’ve always been genuine,” Skanes says of his channel’s success. “There are so many fans out there who feel they can’t get their voices heard anywhere else.”
This focus on building relationships and community with viewers has also helped him to avoid the temptation to engage in the sort of sensationalized or clickbait content that often dominates social media platforms.
