Chirps from Center Ice

A fan blog about the AHL's Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins

Know your beat…

If you follow me on Twitter, you will occasionally see my retweet different people on different issues I find interesting. Sometimes people wonder who these people are and what team they cover. For the most part that information is in the persons Twitter bio and sometimes it isn’t.

I decided to make this post as a handy guide for anyone who is interested in the AHL beat guys I follow. This will move into a tab above as a page as soon as the next blog idea rolls around, so here goes:

Name Twitter Handle Team Beat Newspaper

Dan Kinvig @dankinvigsports Abbotsford Abbotsford News
Shawn Rine @WheelHouse87 Wheeling (ECHL) The Intelligencer
Patrick Williams @AHLReport League Wide The Hockey News (magazine)

This list will constantly be updated as new beat guys are discovered. I am also going to add a page for bloggers too, as some of them cover beats which do not have a beat writer, or one who is on Twitter.

If you know of any glaring omissions, please let me know in the comment section or e-mail me at nafsnep@gmail.com
