Social media will be a big part of the sports world in the year 2023. Of course, the NHL is big into it as a lot of people have their hockey conversations over the internet. We call Twitter X now but that doesn’t change the platform’s importance on the hockey culture that we have built.
All 32 teams have official accounts and that is the primary way for fans to get their news on what is going on. A lot of people use this form of media to get what they need out of being a hockey fan.
The 2023-24 season will be no different. Once again, the NHL has assigned every team a hashtag to which their logo will appear next to when used. These are the official team hashtags. If you click on the said hashtags, other posts relating to that particular team will pop up.
The National Hockey League needs social media to boost the NHL brand.
Every team has their own unique thing that they use. Some teams just have their names and others are a little bit more creative. These are the official hashtags for all 32 teams:
