Usage of social media sites like Twitter continues to increase among professional athletes. The opportunity to connect, even for just 140 characters at a time, is greater than ever before. As we prepare for the upcoming season, it’s time to take a quick look at who is connecting with their fans and who’s worth following. All of these accounts have been confirmed by the team.

Staff
@BlueJacketsNHL - The official account for the Blue Jackets. Game updates, social media giveaways, and they will do their best to answer all your questions.
@GMScottHowson - Updates from the man himself. It's worth noting that more than once he has tweeted news before it's officially reported.
@RyanCBJPR - Blue Jackets Manager of Communications and all-around good guy.
