The @KingstonFronts could have one of the #OHL's most dynamic lines this season, according to @IanMacAlpine. Plus, celebrating the game's unsung heroes in an interview with Rusty Hammond. That's #OHLStories this week. open.spotify.com/episode/1Aq…

"I'm here live. I'm not a cat." A lawyer logged into the 394th Judicial District with a cat filter on and couldn't turn it off. This may be the funniest video I've seen this year.

On This Date with @jimgilly19 In 1986, Chris Clifford became the first goaltender to score a goal in CHL history. Chris scored at 19:35 of the 3rd period to secure a 5-3 win for the Kingston Canadians over the Toronto Marlboros. – at Kingston, Ontario

Twitter do your Magic. This is my cousin Noah. 1 blood clot in the brain, lost all mobility of his arms and legs and is currently in rehab. It would mean the world to have the hockey universe cheering him on through his journey🏒🥅 @NHL @91Tavares @Marner93 @cmcdavid97 @AM34

If you've seen this circulating, it's not real. I'm not too sure who Mayor "Brian Patterson" is, but he sounds like a Grinch.

Feel bad for all those @queensgaels athletes that can’t play in the fall, especially the graduating athletes who can’t go on one last run. Hopefully @QueensMHockey can play January 2021.

Breaking....all university fall sports cancelled by @USPORTSca that means no @queensgaels & @RMCPaladins sports and no @Queens_Football for the first time since 1882 there will be no Queen’s football this fall. More to come

Re the @OHLHockey coaches poll. It's a bit of head-scratcher that @KingstonFronts @DawzyBaker18 didn't get a mention as best shot-blocker in the Eastern Conference. That guy would block multiple shots per penalty kill and was a fearless player all season long.

Congrats to Shane Wright he broke my 40 year Rookie record. The difference between us is, I was 18 and he started the season while he was only 15 years old! This young man is a special player!
