NHL players like Andrew Ference and Jarome Iginla are serious about global warming and they're doing some real about it. We've helped players to calculate their total carbon emissions for the regular season - which turns out to be about 10 tonnes per player.

So far, 523 players have taken the challenge!

To become carbon neutral, NHL players are purchasing Gold Standard offsets exclusively. These are the highest quality offsets in the world. The Gold Standard is supported by environmental organizations around the world, and it ensures that each purchase has a measurable benefit for the climate.

David Suzuki and NHL players challenge YOU to go carbon neutral!

Nick Schultz, Minnesota Wild defenseman - “I think that it's great that the NHLPA is teaming up with the David Suzuki Foundation to lead the way in tackling climate change. We have an opportunity to make a difference, not only in the communities we live and work in, but also to set an example for our fans to follow, all over the world.”
