What Is The Purpose?
The ¨GOAL¨ of Rink Redemption is to reduce the amount of water waste within the hockey community.
Hockey is a sport that needs water in order to function. On a ¨SURFACE¨ level, water is used for the ice and the zamboni in order to create a fresh surface. However, it is also much more than that. When thinking of a standard hockey game, you have to think about the people as well as what is needed in order to play. People need water to function, drink in order to keep up their energy, water to keep the lights on and for everything within this game and the world to flow smoothly. By reducing the amount of waste, Rink Redemption hopes to keep this game in play without putting a harmful strain on the environment. By getting people involved, it will spread awareness. The more people who decide to join the pledge and donate will result in a more environmentally friendly game for everyone! |
SO WHAT IS IT?
Rink Redemption is an initiative that is working towards reducing water usage in homes and at rinks by providing environmental education. We created a pledge for people to take to reduce water usage at home, as well as hosting events and collecting donations to put back into the hockey community. Our goal with the funds raised is to establish more rinks similar to the Climate Pledge Arena that target sustainability as well as developing stewards of the Earth.

The idea for this project came from the NHL Green initiative and the climate pledge arena. When seeing change already being made, the ¨GOAL¨ was to help contribute and hopefully speed up the process. More water goes down the drain each day, and by finding efficient methods to keep the rinks running, it will help to fix the problem! |
