NHLers on Twitter

There has been some interest in my thesis research, so I figured I should post some of my information. The following is a list of all NHL players with an active Twitter accounts (50 posts or an update in the past month) as of Oct. 6. I will try to update this once in a while, but with my workload from school and a few websites, it's hard for me to do more research than completely necessary.

Please note Phil Kessel (PKessel81) has joined since I did my Twitter search and it would not surprise me to find out a few more have joined as well, but as I said it is simply too much for me to keep checking especially when I have to look for 700 players and there is apparently an hourly usage limit that I keep surpassing. Please, if you know of any players with accounts I do not have posted here, let me know. Leave a comment or send an email to timkolupan@gmail.com, I would like to have a verified, official list shortly. Now, here are the 141 players on Twitter.
