Perspective
Steffes played for Team USA at the 2005 IIHF World U18 Championships held in the Czech Republic.[2] Following four years of NCAA college hockey play with the Miami RedHawks men's ice hockey team, Steffes turned professional with the Tulsa Oilers of the Central Hockey League. He was rewarded for his outstanding play during his rookie season when he was named to the 2010–11 CHL All-Rookie Team.[3]
Before the 2012–13 season, Steffes received an invitation to attend the AHL's Oklahoma City Barons training camp.[4] Although he was not offered a contract by the Barons, he remained in his third season with the Tulsa Oilers. On January 8, 2013, he was loaned to the Lake Erie Monsters on a professional try-out deal.[5] During his stint with the Monsters, he played 16 games, scoring one goal and tallying two points, before being sent back to Tulsa to finish the season.
On July 24, 2013, Steffes joined the Bakersfield Condors of the ECHL on a one-year deal as a free agent.[6] During the 2013–14 season, he played the entire year with the team, recording 18 goals and totaling 35 points across 60 games.
During the off-season, Steffes chose to return to the CHL, signing a one-year deal with the Allen Americans on August 15, 2014.[7] However, before the season began, the team transitioned to the ECHL. Steffes remained with the Americans for the rest of his career, retiring in 2020.
