NHL Green’s Commitment to Sustainability

Source: NHLGreen.com and NHL.com The Canucks have turned out the lights on the Blackhawks, Predators and the province of British Columbia this spring. According to a spokesperson for BC Hydro, the electricity utility for British Columbia, energy usage across the province goes down during Canucks’ playoff games as more people are tuned into their televisions rather than doing anything else. Chris Brumwell, the Director of Community and Media Relations for BC Hydro, said the drop in energy usage during Games 5 and 6 against Nashville was equivalent to turning off 13 million compact fluorescent light bulbs, a two percent decline from the normal activity. He said the conservation during Game 7 against Chicago equaled the turning off of 48 million light bulbs, which was a 3.6 percent dip.
