Here at The Hockey Writers we strive to maximize our readers’ multimedia NHL coverage. Articles routinely feature player interviews, videos and pictures form our friends at USA Today. With the expanding role of social media in sporting news, I’d be remiss not to mention some of the best twitter accounts to follow for fantasy hockey insight. Without further adieu, here are the ten essential accounts to follow for all of your last minute waiver pick ups and drops.

NHL Fantasy Hockey (@NHLFantasy)

This follow should come as a no-brainer. NHL Fantasy Hockey tweets their own material rather infrequently, but they re-tweet a multitude of fantasy hockey experts from all around the US and Canada. When they aren’t offering the latest NHL stats and trends, the good people at @NHLFantasy are getting the fans involved with the experts to maximize the social media experience.

QUESTION: Who will score the most goals from Sat-Thurs? E. Kane, Duchene, Seguin, Vanek, Moulson. Use #MeVsCubeta & send your answer. (2/4) — NHL Fantasy on Ice 🏒 (@NHLFantasy) October 3, 2013

At 1 p.m. ET today, @NHLFantasy will tweet out link for "Fan vs. Experts" Yahoo league. Fans will be accepted on 1st-come, 1st-served basis. — NHL Fantasy on Ice 🏒 (@NHLFantasy) September 27, 2013

NHL.com Fantasy Hockey Insiders

Along with @NHLFantasy, following their three main NHL.com fantasy hockey insiders is paramount to your team’s success. Aside from churning out content for nhl.com/fantasy, these three spend time to interact with fans and each other on “the twitter” (as your mom likely calls it). They often pose questions, offer start ’em/sit em advice and provide you with can’t miss stats and videos

I'm a big Perron fan and I think leaving a defensive system in STL for a more offensive-minded team in EDM will increase #NHLfantasy value — Matt Cubeta (@NHLQubes) July 10, 2013

Pete Jensen (@NHLJensen)

Hertl deservedly getting ton of attention, but MacKinnon has also kicked off his career w/3-game point streak. #YouthMovement #SJSharks #Avs — Pete Jensen 🏒 (@NHLJensen) October 9, 2013

"@DangerCloseK9 Trade offer: Letang, Kadri & Emery for Crawford, Ekman-Larsson & Iginla. Thoughts?" I like the Craw/OEL/Iggy package. — Pete Jensen 🏒 (@NHLJensen) October 5, 2013

On average, Ilya Bryzgalov allowed 4G or more in 3 of every 10 games he played over last 2 seasons w/#Flyers (reg. season + playoffs). Ouch. — Pete Jensen 🏒 (@NHLJensen) June 25, 2013

Matt Sitkoff (@msitkoffNHL)

#Canucks lead the league with 5 goals & 14 pts from defenseman #SJSharks right behind them with 4 goals & 12 pts @NHLfantasy — Matt Sitkoff (@msitkoffNHL) October 9, 2013

Rotoworld Hockey (@Rotoworld_HK)

Rotoworld is an amazing tool for all fantasy hockey users. With nearly 20,000 career tweets, this account updates the inter-webs with every injury, surprise start and scratch. They also provide links to new articles as they are posted on the NHL page on Rotoworld’s website. Don’t just follow @Rotoworld_HK though; make sure to also follow two of their bigger twitter personalities/writers James O’Brien and Michael Finewax.

Darryl Dobbs (@DobberHockey)

Darryl Dobbs, or simply Dobber, is a master of the mathematics behind fantasy hockey statistics. After all, he was a statistics major at University of Guelph. Dobber has been a staple of Puck Daddy and The Hockey News for years, and his twitter account is the perfect place for bucket loads of fantasy hockey insight. His tweets often contain links to his own website http://hockey.dobbersports.com/ which features other great minds of the fantasy hockey world.

Seth Jones saw 1:26 more ice time than Shea Weber last night, averages 23:07/game on the year – 2nd behind Weber. He's being eased in. — Dobber (@DobberHockey) October 9, 2013

All goalies confirmed for tonight – http://t.co/SSpq0Mw56g – Labarbera, Brodeur, Jonathan Quick and Lundqvist — Dobber (@DobberHockey) October 7, 2013

Fantasy Hockey Go (@FantasyHockeyGo)

Disclaimer: Fantasy Hockey Go does not tweet it’s own original material. That being said, this has to be one of my favorite fantasy hockey follows out there. As opposed to creating their own content, this handle is focused on the distribution of others’ material. Any given day, FHG is good for 5 or so can’t miss articles, many of which you would have never seen without their help. Because of Fantasy Hockey Go, I have been tuned into many new forums for fantasy hockey chatter.

Yes, that last tweet was a shameless plug for one of my previous articles. What can I say, Fantasy Hockey Go knows high quality material when they see it! (would use tongue-in-cheek font if it existed)

Last, but certainly not least, give a follow to my brother in arms Chris Wassel. Wassel is a social media fiend, and absolutely breathes hockey. Aside from his beloved New Jersey Devils, Wassel loves to debate fantasy hockey. If you ever have a waiver wire inquiry or a starter/bench question, tag Chris in a tweet. 99% chance your @mentions will ring in under a minute. If you are looking for some of Chris Wassel’s own material, check him out on The Hockey Writers or at the previously mentioned Dobber Hockey.
