Family Affair for Minnesota Minnesota junior forward Seth Ambroz has his Twitter account protected, so no embeds, but on Friday night, Ambroz tweeted out: "Words can't express how thankful I am for the New Prague High School and community to fly out my family for tomorrow's game"

First off, that's awesome gesture by the people of New Prague, a small community south of Minneapolis. Even more notable is that Ambroz only played at New Prague through the ninth grade before heading off to play in the USHL. Shameful as it is, there are some Minnesota high school programs that will basically disown players that don't serve them through their senior season. So it's refreshing to see a community  take an extra step for a player on what is a special evening.

Keeping with the family theme for the Gophers, Justin Holl's dad seems to be enjoying his son's newfound legendary status:

How awesome is it that those .6 shirts already exist? I had absolutely zero preference in the outcome of Thursday's game and I want one of those.

Twitter: Not Always Accurate When the season ends, everybody keeps a close eye on Twitter to see what players are signing pro contracts, and one of the best indicators is usually when a player's teammates start sending him congratulations on the new deal.

So it came as a surprise to many on Saturday morning when nearly everyone on Boston College's team starting tweeting out congratulations to freshman forward Chris Calnan.

Congrats to @ccalnan11 man...so happy for you dude

Congrats @ccalnan11 couldn't have happened to a better guy. Good luck brotha

Congrats @ccalnan11. Really pumped man #welldeserved

Calnan is a third round draft pick of the Chicago Blackhawks so it wasn't exactly far-fetched. But the freshman scored just 13 points in a mostly supporting role for the Blackhawks, so the idea that he was leaving for the BC's surprised many.

What did Calnan have to say about the whole thing?

My friends aren't funny

Turns out is wasn't true. Just an elaborate, and funny prank by teammates. Nicely done, Eagles.
