Supporters of the Green Hockey Inititative

The Green Hockey initiative is designed to help reduce hockey related damage to the environment during hockey season. Here are some easy ideas to get you thinking "green" ...

Reduce vehicle fuel consumption and emissions.
- Car pool to games, practices and team events. Pick up families along the way to your destination or meet at a central point in town.
- Pre-game coffee. Park the car instead of going through the drive-through window. Use your own travel mug to reduce waste.
- Know how to get to your destination. Navigate quickly and accurately to arenas using HockeyGPS.com with your navigational device.

Reduce hydro and water consumption.

Convert municipal outdoor rinks to Super-Glide synthetic ice.
Convert refrigerated training pads to Super-Glide synthetic ice.
Build backyard rinks with Super-Glide synthetic ice.

Recycle hockey sticks and equipment.

Collect broken hockey sticks for local furniture and accessory makers.
Donate used equipment to user groups in need.

Reduce impact on the environment by using water free and ozone-friendly gear cleaning services.

Reduce landfill waste.

Use durable and long lasting products for your hockey stick grip and blade.
Provide recycle bins at your arena or skill development centre.
