After Tayler Strome shared images of their daughters reading the book in Instagram, other player families inquired if they could have their own custom versions of the book made for their own children, and the Stromes obliged to share their book as a template that other players could adapt.{{cite web |last1=Lomon |first1=Chris |title=Strome Family at the Heart of a Popular Read in NHL circles |url=https://nhlpa.com/news/1-22769/strome-family-at-the-heart-of-a-popular-read-in-nhl-circles |website=NHLPA |access-date=January 7, 2025 |date=December 16, 2024}}

Strome is the owner of golden retrievers. An account that the Stromes created dedicated to their family's dogs attracted a substantial following. The account was originally dedicated to the Stromes' first dog, Wrigley (named for Wrigley Field, a professional baseball stadium in Chicago). Wrigley (whom Strome had brought home as a puppy during the 2020 season All-Star Game break) became a celebrity canine among Blackhawks fans. Crediting Wrigley with helping him cope with stresses of his playing career and the COVID-19 pandemic, Strome would often mention him during interviews.{{cite web |last1=Pope |first1=Ben |title=How Dylan Strome's puppy helped him handle a whirlwind pandemic experience |url=https://chicago.suntimes.com/blackhawks/2020/6/24/21299732/blackhawks-dylan-strome-dog-golden-retriever-wrigley-mississauga-chicago-coronavirus-nhl |website=Chicago Sun-Times |access-date=January 7, 2025 |date=June 24, 2020}} The Instagram account dedicated to him had attracted more than 20,000 followers.
