Hockey prompt

Honestly I think the NHL is horrible when it comes to social media and outreach to fans in that respect. You see so little personality out of players all the time, which really hurts the ability to bring in new fans and viewers who are intrigued in seeing the person behind the faces and skills. Connor McDavid is undeniably the best player in the league by a ridiculous margin, but as a face of the league he is just so robotic and uninteresting. There isn't really a fix for that, like you can't magically make McDavid a social media star, but I think the more marketable players need to be focused on more, and going "off script" shouldn't be frowned upon. One of my favourite recent examples is Brad Marchand recently going on a tear on social media and trolling as many posts as he can with low quality insults. A lot of people are furious with him, but I personally find it hilarious to see an NHL star just take the mask off and be a jerk to people for the sake of it. And this is coming from a Habs fan.
