Here are a few notes to facilitate even greater ECAC Hockey devotion in the upcoming months.

Check the Tweets

First, for all you Twitter-ers or Tweeters or Twits or whatever you (ok, we) are, Dan Greene – creator of the Union Hockey Blog – has a new, post-grad site called “1989 And Still Waiting”. Along with posting regular content, Greene deserves a heavy serving of kudos for putting together an impressive, if not verifiably comprehensive list of ECAC Hockey Tweeters. Pick your favorites or collect ’em all, and be sure to send along to him any other accounts that he may have missed.

Also, be sure to follow me @SullivanHockey for my sporadic and tangentially relevant updates. Or to send me cyber-hate. Whatever’s good for you.

Don’t be “That Guy”

I used to pronounce the word vehement “vee-HEH-ment”. I once knew someone who thought misled (as in, past tense of mislead) was pronounced “mizzled”. Those aren’t quite as bad as people who say “exetera” or “nucular” or “irregardless”, but I’m still quite certain that we sounded pretty ridiculous when we used those words in conversation.

Lesson? Don’t be the guy who jeers Quinnipiac’s “Lang-loyss” or Clarkson’s “Kay-er”. Instant credibility negation.
