The National Hockey League (NHL), headquartered in the US within the recreational, cultural, and sporting services industry (92), reported approximately 187.4 million kg CO2e in total emissions for the year 2016. This figure encompasses Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions.

Specifically, for 2016, the NHL's emissions included approximately 122.2 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, about 4.8 million kg CO2e for Scope 2, and approximately 55.4 million kg CO2e for Scope 3. In 2015, total emissions were around 185.7 million kg CO2e, comprising approximately 126.2 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, about 4.9 million kg CO2e for Scope 2, and around 54.6 million kg CO2e for Scope 3. In 2014, total emissions were approximately 189.5 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 accounting for about 127.9 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 for roughly 4.9 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 for approximately 56.6 million kg CO2e.

The NHL is committed to climate action, with targets focused on reducing its environmental impact. These commitments include a near-term goal to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% by 2030, using a 2023 baseline. Longer-term, the league aims for a significant reduction of 90% in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2035, also based on a 2023 baseline. Furthermore, the NHL is working towards achieving net zero in its own operations, encompassing both Scopes 1 and 2 emissions, with a target year of 2035. While these targets are specific, some Scope 3 data points, such as purchased goods and services, business travel, and employee commute, were noted as missing for the reported periods.
