Last week, the National Hockey League celebrated its first Green Week to showcase its hard work toward environmental sustainability. The League also encouraged fans and partners to be a positive influence in Earth becoming a greener place.
“The efforts we make today toward a more sustainable planet will impact not only our sport but future generations,” Commissioner Gary Bettman said at the 2016 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference as part of Green Week’s kickoff event. “All of our clubs support NHL Green environmental programs, and NHL Green Week is an important initiative to create even more attention for, and awareness of, this critical priority for the National Hockey League.
