Twitter hashtags for the National Hockey League

National Hockey League: #NHL

Eastern Conference: #NHLE Atlantic Division New Jersey Devils: #NJD New York Islanders: #NYI New York Rangers: #NYR Philadelphia Flyers:  #PHI Pittsburgh Penguins: #PIT Northeast Division Boston Bruins: #BOS Buffalo Sabres: #BUF Montreal Canadiens: #MON Ottawa Senators: #OTT Toronto Maple Leafs: #TOR Southeast Division Atlanta Thrashers: #ATL Carolina Hurricanes: #CAR Florida Panthers: #FLA Tampa Bay Lightning: #TAM Washington Capitals: #WAS Western Conference: #NHLW Central Division Chicago Blackhawks: #CHI Columbus Blue Jackets: #CBJ Detroit Red Wings: #DET Nashville Predators: #NSH St. Louis Blues: #STL Northwest Division Calgary Flames: #CGY Colorado Avalanche: #COL Edmonton Oilers: #EDM Minnesota Wild: #MIN Vancouver Canucks: #VAN Pacific Division Anaheim Ducks: #ANA Dallas Stars: #DAL Los Angeles Kings: #LOS Phoenix Coyotes: #PHO San Jose Sharks: #SAN —— Note: Some of these would be the same as other professional sports teams in the same city/state, but if you also included #NHL it would be easy to sort. Example: If you are talking about Vancouver vs. New York Rangers, it would be easier to include #VAN #NYR and #NHL (12 characters) than #Canucks, #Rangers, and #NHL (21 characters).  Plus, people generally following the NHL could just search for #NHL, and the others could sort by one team or both teams in a particular game. Trade deadline: Include both teams and #NHLTrade.  Consider also including #NHL for those following general #NHL activity. Please comment on any changes you would like to see made and if you think this is viable.  I didn’t do the divisions because I don’t think people will generally just follow one division, but those could be done.  This is only my humble opinion, too, and I just think it would make it easier to find the most relevant info to what you desire at any given time.

    Looks like a good list. I am going to use it. I see others like #sabres #caps #pens #Sens etc. Do you have an updated list?

    You know, I just don’t think these are going to take hold after all. People continue to use the ones you mention, even if they are a little longer. That’s cool…it was just a try to shorten them up.
