Duck Tales: New season, new hashtag

There’s a small makeover on the Anaheim Ducks Twitter feed: the official team hashtag — which includes an official hashflag, an image that appears after certain specific hashtags on Twitter — has been changed ahead of the 2021 season.

When looking for your Ducks content this season, be sure to check #FlyTogether, which will replace #LetsGoDucks.

The Ducks are the only West Division team to make a change for the season, though updates have been made in the North and East Divisions, as well.
