The much-awaited start of this year’s @NHL season is Saturday. That’s right, puck fans, #hockeyisback. When the news was first announced earlier this month, fans were so excited that there were more tweets about the NHL than during the final Stanley Cup game last season. As the new season kicks off with 13 games on opening day, Twitter will be your all-access pass to follow the action on and off the ice.
To ensure that you don’t miss a thing, check out these lists from @NHL to follow your favorite players and teams this season. You can even interact with your favorite mascot!
