I've been meaning to talk about this for a while but it's been busy around here and with a two week break between Badger series now is a good time to bring it up.
Twitter has become one of the best hockey and more specifically WCHA hockey resources on the internet. Virtually every WCHA team beat writer has an account, as do most WCHA fan bloggers. It's become a great source to communicate with writers from around the league and NCAA hockey even if you are just a fan.
Oh yeah, and some of our Wisconsin Badger players have created accounts as well. Captain Sean Dolan, Scott Gudmandson, Brett Bennett, and womens player Hilary Knight as well as former players Blake Geoffrion, Kyle Turris, Brad Winchester, Joe Piskula, Zach Bearson, Ryan Jeffery, John Mitchell, and Michael Davies all are twitter regulars.
I (obviously) have an account that I link to on every one of my posts. If you started following me last year, check to make sure you still are because I deleted my account the last time I pulled a Favre and retired and had to start a new one and lost all my followers. You can find my twitter acount here.
