College Hockey Top 10
One of our core missions at SkullSparks is to highlight digital and design talent working behind the scenes across college athletics. We feature football and basketball content regularly but we also want to draw your attention to great work from staff promoting more sports.
For the 2017-18 season, there are 60 NCAA Division 1 college hockey teams concentrated mostly in New England and the upper Midwest (here’s to you, Arizona State). Due to geography, not as many of our followers will be familiar with hockey content. Welcome to the ice.
Take a look at these 10 college hockey teams with outstanding social media content generated by their digital and design staff. To keep this concise, we’re listing the team’s official Twitter handle and embedding examples of visual content from that account. In alphabetical order…
