ECAC Hockey Tweets of the Week (8/15/11 - 8/22/11)

I was thinking of some ideas for another weekly segment, and this is what I came up with. I thought this could be the most fun and help promote ECAC hockey players, as well as some writers and bloggers who cover ECAC teams. Maybe I'll add in some fan tweets if I really like them.

There really is no criteria, and no limit of how many "Tweets of the Week" there are for a given week. The only thing is that tweets can only be made by an ECAC Hockey "person," or by someone tweeting about ECAC Hockey.

I'm also going to make this into a competition. The student-athlete or ECAC writer with the most "Tweets of the Week" will be named "ECAC Hockey's Tweeter of the Year."  Also, the team with the most overall "Tweets of the Week" will be given "ECAC Hockey's Team Tweeter Award." Standings will be posted on the blog at the bottom of the page.

So, there you go ECAC Hockey tweeters. Here's your challenge. Chirping, pictures, quotes, or anything else is acceptable. But, no swear words, racist or sexist remarks, or anything else like that will be accepted. Have fun tweeting and good luck!

The tweets below are tweets by ECAC players that just caught my eye over the past week. They will give you a sense of what I'm looking for. Enjoy!

As you can see, the Saints are out to an early big lead with RPI also showing some early Tweeting skills. Will SLU be the Phillies of the ECAC Hockey tweeting world? Only time will tell.
