A portion of proceeds have also been earmarked for Rink2Reef, using broken hockey sticks to help clean up coastal waterways by creating artificial oyster reefs and habitats, and MSE Foundation, the official charity of the Capitals.
The Capitals held Go Green Night presented by Suburban Propane and BioSafe on March 17 when the team hosted the St. Louis Blues at Capital One Arena.
Throughout the night, fans were able to learn how to support a cleaner environment through green-themed activations. These activations were supported by Suburban Propane's Go Green with Suburban Propane brand pillar promoting the clean burning and versatile nature of propane and renewable propane as a bridge to a green energy future and developing the next generation of renewable energy.
In addition, Capital One Arena has partnered with BioSafe to enhance the venue's sustainability efforts with future use of products.
