EIHL Tweets of the Week: 19/11-25/11
Welcome to this week’s edition of Tweets of the Week and let’s begin with a Tweet that, depending on your state of mind, could be alarmingly abstract, loaded with innuendo, or simply a polite request from former Giant Mike Hoffman to accompany you on a cycling trip.
I hope you got a big trunk..because I’m putting my bike in it…

This week’s dietary tip comes courtesy of Coventry Blaze’s back-up netminder.
Birthday cake, the best breakfast you can have #eatup

Clearly his heroic display against the Giants a few weeks back was fuelled by festive bakery products. Listen and learn!
Attention UK! We have Matt Francis’ attention!
Really starting to appreciate this whole “tea” thing. Ok Britain, I’m listening…

Has anybody told him about pork pies?
Always one step ahead, Belfast’s Rob Sandrock floats a business idea the way of his Twitter followers.
Anyone wanna go halfers on a windmill farm? We’d make fortune in N.I.

A ruthless entrepreneur, our Robby.
Our first coach to feature on Tweets of the Week, I couldn’t resist posting Coventry coach Paul Thompson’s unique guide to good parenting, part 1 of which he shared this week.
You know you’ve brought your kids up right when 15 yr old daughter gets the drum roll spot on to “in the air tonight” #philcollins
— Paul Thompson (@thommoblaze) November 21, 2012
Right on, Thommo. Definitely a yardstick by which all successful parenting can be judged. Meanwhile Cardiff character Devin DiDiomete philosophises about his education.
As each day in life goes by I am slowly learning that everything I was taught after grade 1 is almost completely useless in my life.

This merely makes me wonder what early years teaching in Canada comprises. I’ve come to the conclusion it must mainly consist of puck-handling, show-boating and left hooks. It’s no wonder the Canadians have yet to become a world power.
Meanwhile somewhere in Wales, British Devils defenceman Josh Batch cuts through the turkey dinner haze which clouded Twitter on American Thanskgiving day.
Why is everyone so thankful today?
— Joshua Batch (@JoshBatch41) November 22, 2012
Well that’s a good question Josh. No-one has thought to explain it, they’re just wantonly thanking one another. Perhaps the Blaze’s Brad Leeb can cast some light on the situation.
Celebrate Thanksgiving the old-fashioned way. Invite your neighbours over & have an enormous feast. Then kill them & take their land. #Truth
— Brad Leeb (@Brad_Leeb) November 22, 2012
Well that’s cleared that up, then. More pumpkin pie, anyone?
Tylor Michel reveals his method for navigating a busy supermarket.
Bring your family and grand parents to morrisons day. 7 body checks and counting.#patience
— Tylor Michel (@Tmich16) November 23, 2012
Am I the only one with images of elderly ladies bouncing left and right as Tylor ploughs through the store?
I’ve started to suspect that some of these hockey players are too clever for their own good.
I may re-arrange the dewey decimal system to something of my own liking. Then grab a coffee and watch chaos ensue
— Rob sandrock (@robsandrock) November 23, 2012
This must be the most passive act of anarchy ever conceived.
Cardiff Devil’s Max Birbraer gets his Jewish festivals and his tribal rugby dances a bit mixed up.
Loved the Hanukkah by New Zealand rugby team. First all black Jewish team ever #respect
— Max Birbraer (@Birbraer23) November 24, 2012
He started, so he’ll finish. It seems fitting to give the final word this week to former EIHL-er Mike Hoffman who reveals the difficult decision-making processes dealt with by these long-suffering athletes on an almost daily basis.
Pizza or wings.. Oven only cooks one.. Toughest choice I’ve made on a Sunday since deciding to buy the elf outfit or a new onesie
