Tweets of the Week: Hockey is fun

As ever, we like to trawl Twitter and pick out the best of what’s being said around the leagues so we’ve done it again, with ten of the best we think stand out.

1. We begin with Glasgow Clan coach Zack Fitzgerald, seemingly having a good time right now:

Hockey is fun.

2. It was quite a day for the Longstaff family on Sunday

🏒 Matty Longstaff's dad, David, nearly missed today's game – because @WhitleyWarriors, where he's a player-coach, were taking on @billinghamstars this afternoon…

3. And it rounded off a great week for the family, as highlighted by BBC’s ice hockey commentator Seth Bennett

What a week to be a Longstaff! Can only imagine David and Michelle are extremely proud of how their boys are representing themselves on the big stage. #whatafamily #Newcastleluckytohavethem pic.twitter.com/dVkULxxa8z

4. You may have missed, but there was a great advert being played out in Scotland and it wasn’t Glasgow Clan vs Fife Flyers as Solway Sharks took on Murrayfield Racers in the NIHL North Cup

A great comeback last night sealed another 4 point weekend for the team and what a game it was against a strong @MRacersOfficial team. Games like these prove the Scottish game has quality and both teams deserve credit. We keep rolling into next week now 🦈🏒

5. In Dundee, Stars coach Omar Pacha is looking forward to making a choice very soon

Thanks Stars fan for the great support this weekend !Officially first pick overall. Great accomplishment by the guys. #COYS #DraftDay

6. Four point weekends were very fashionable, but when you’re needing Will Ferrell to help celebrate it, you’re doing something right:

8. Liam Kirk showing off some of his moves in the OHL with Peterborough Petes

Here's another Liam Kirk chance- accelerates into the zone for a partial breakaway.
