At a time of unpresidented (sic) support for science and environmental causes in North America, the NHL is again celebrating Green Week (3GP, 0 goals, 2 assists, -6).
As usual, the NHL and wider hockey community have supported the initiative by making a range of important pledges. Here are a few:
Chicago Blackhawks: Will play a minimum of 65 games a season under natural lighting conditions
Alain Vigneault: To keep re-using his favourite broken glass
Ryan O'Reilly: Will still drive to the doughnut store, but committed to always returning home on foot
USA Hockey: A 100% reduction in all travel to Women's World Championship events
NHL Hockey Operations: Agreement with goalie equipment manufacturers to reduce raw materials used by 0.000000001% by 2023
Arizona Coyotes: Will permit three of the team's highest paid players to work from home
Edmonton Oilers: To promote sustainable food production by pricing burgers sold at Rogers Place at $45
Toronto Maple Leafs: Will help maintain ocean stocks by restricting team fishing expeditions to days before games they win
Mark Streit: To reduce unnecessary use of detergents by leaving all his Tampa Bay Lightning memorabilia unwashed
Steve Simmons: Will turn off any computer he sees at a hockey rink
Professional Hockey Writers Association: Aim to minimise carbon footprint relating to transportation of trophies to Europe
SAP: Commitment to a comprehensive database of game records and advanced statistics being transferred from paper records to the NHL website by 2134
