Description
Summary:The National Hockey League officially began in 1917 in Montreal, Canada, but players have been playing the sport long before that. For years, Canadian and US players have grown up playing and practicing on frozen ponds; however, climate change and other environmental issues are threatening the conditions needed to continue playing. Changing climates and increased resource constraints have also impacted the hockey industry as a whole. Because of this, the NHL is striving to reduce its impact and protect the origin of the sport by implementing the NHL Green initiative. NHL Green's main goals are to work towards improving natural and man-made environments where hockey is played by advocating for sustainable innovation and community development.
