“Like Gameplay Jenny, but sportier”
I have a new Twitter feed for anyone who wants to tune into me updating live from ice hockey matches, commenting on the football, or weeping over sports betting.
That means the rest of you won't have to listen to any of that - unless you want to! If you do, please join those who have already started following @GJenSports.
Will It Trend? Attempt Number 2…
A HUGE thank-you to everyone who used the #BBCSportIceHockey hashtag last night when tweeting about hockey in both the UK and US.
In case you don't know why we're doing this, the new BBC Sport website now has a buried ice hockey section and has no recent articles on UK hockey - disgraceful!
Although the tag did not appear on the trending topics list, someone searched Google to see if it was and got here. We also had two BBC journalists acknowledge us to say that they supported the campaign and were trying their best to get the BBC to do something about the matter.
There are even more games in the UK tonight, so let's do everything we can to get it trending. That means adding #BBCSportIceHockey to your own tweets, retweeting ones which use it, adding it to and retweeting ones that don't, and getting players and high-profile tweeps to do their bit.
Again, THANK YOU!
UPDATE: The BBC has commented (not officially) that ice hockey coverage is 'regional' and that putting live scores on the central website is 'not an option'. You'll note that the regional links are not to ice hockey itself but a search for the team name.
