It's also a time for everyone around the NHL to get back in the swing of things around the NHL, but this pre-season, Gary Bettman and the league have announced an amazing cause.
Matthew Perry Foundation teams up with the NHL
This pre-season will look a little different in one key aspect, as the NHL have teamed up with late FRIENDS actor and big time NHL fan Matthew Perry's Foundation, as they are set to donate $5,000 to their cause for every goal scored this pre-season.
"The NHL is proud to partner with the Matthew Perry Foundation on the Goals for Recovery campaign. Matthew's love for hockey was well known, and this effort is a way to honor that passion while raising awareness about recovery and wellness. By tying the excitement of preseason hockey to his legacy, we can highlight that every goal scored is a reminder that progress matters both on the ice and in life. - Rob Wooley, executive director of the NHL Foundation.
Perry, a long-time resident of Ottawa was a huge hockey fan, and with their Goals for Recovery program, the Foundation are looking to change the conversation around addiction and provide support, a very worthy cause in 2025 indeed.
With Goals for Recovery, the NHL is helping us change the conversation surrounding addiction, proving that when fans, families and players unite to create a community, healing is possible.
Hopefully there are plenty of goals scored this season as a result, as this is an amazing cause, and one that everyone around the NHL should be getting behind.
