Playing career
editAngle played as a youth with St. Catharines Falcons in the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League (GOJHL) before he was selected in the 2016 OHL Priority Draft, 114th overall by the Windsor Spitfires.
As an undersized forward, following his third season of development with the Spitfires, Angle was drafted by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the seventh-round, 212th overall, of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.[1] In his fourth season of major junior hockey in the OHL in 2019–20, Angle improved his offensive output to over a point-per-game, co-leading the team in registering 67 points through 62 regular season games before the remainder of the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the 2020–21 season delayed due to the ongoing pandemic, and with junior hockey on hiatus for the season, Angle began his professional career by signing an amateur tryout contract with the Blue Jackets' AHL affiliate, the Cleveland Monsters, on January 21, 2021.[2] Angle immediately produced offensively and showed versatility in the professional ranks, and after 6 games was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets on March 30, 2021.[3][4]
In his first full season in the AHL with the Monsters in 2021-22, Angle matched his goal output and notched career highs with 26 assists and 37 points through 71 regular season games.
Entering the second year of his contract with the Blue Jackets, Angle remained assigned with the Cleveland Monsters to for the 2022–23 season. He matched his goal total for the third successive season, contributing with 11 goals and 23 points through 66 games. Nearing the completion of the season, with the Blue Jackets out of playoff contention, Angle received his first recall to the NHL and make his debut with the Blue Jackets on April 13, 2023, in a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.[5] In the final game of the regular season, Angle in just his second career game, scored his first career NHL goal during a 5-2 defeat to the Buffalo Sabres on April 14, 2023.[6]
