08:23 AM ET 03.02 | Don Cherry may have found a new outlet for his bombast: Twitter. The 78-year-old commentator on Hockey Night in Canada's Coach's Corner announced on Thursday that he had joined the social media site. Cherry made the announcement during an interview with fellow CBC personality George Stroumboulopoulos. His Twitter handle -- @CoachsCornerCBC -- had yet to be verified as official by the website late Thursday and no tweets had been posted. Despite this, the popular and controversial hockey commentator already had hundreds of followers by late Thursday. The account's bio says that Cherry and Hockey Night in Canada producer Kathy Broderick will be the authors of the tweets.

Best news of the day. I may need to get a Twitter account for this very reason. I give it about 5 months before they take it away from him.

Why? If they haven't taken him off the air after all these years and all his non-PC rants, why would his twitter account be any different?

I cannot bring myself to "tweet"
tweeting is for birds and don't even get me started on "twitter"...it sounds like some adolescent term for something related to reproduction (have to watch what i say on these things, the mods are very odd about what gets caught)

Burkie needs to start an account, and then people that are feeling "irked" will be placated.

Another reason for me not to get a twitter account. I can't stand the old fart.

Thats the final straw that will break Hanks resistance. I can see him pushing the cats off his lap and rushing off to get a smart phone so he can follow Grapes on Twitter

I wish I had a $U.S dollar for every time a celebrity or athlete issued an apology for something absurd they posted on twitter.
