Early life
Steeves was born on December 10, 1999, in St. Paul, Minnesota[1] to parents Alison and Glen Steeves.[2] Steeves and his brothers were born in St. Paul before the family moved to New Hampshire so their father could complete his residency.[3] Steeves spent his formative years in New Hampshire where his Canadian-born parents encouraged him to play ice hockey.[2] His father played in the Western Major Junior Hockey League and spent four years playing hockey at the University of Manitoba. As a result, Steeves described himself as being "literally born with hockey in my blood."[4]

Steeves would score 23 goals, the second most in franchise history for a rookie (tying Josh Leivo).[9] Steeves was in a race with teammate and fellow rookie Bobby McMann for the second half of the season for the franchise rookie scoring title; McMann would ultimately score 24 goals to assume the record.[9][10]
