Twitter Canada released the data for The National Hockey League (NHL) and the most viewed players for the 2016/17 season Thursday.

Three Canadian teams have made the Top 10 Most Viewed NHL accounts: Montreal, Toronto and Edmonton. As of Jan. 26, the Montreal Canadiens had 1.27 million followers, and the Oilers came in with 640,000.

Among the top 10 most viewed player accounts there are three players who don Canadian logos: Auston Matthews, Connor McDavid and Patrik Laine.

Some of the players are known for having a lot of fun on Twitter, especially Roberto Luongo

Others, while very popular, do not tweet quite as much. Matthews has only sent out 459 tweets since his account was created in March 2013, but has over 92,000 followers.
