Why is he to blame, at all? He made zero decisions for Imperial Metals. He was only an investor.

The reason I want to write the Flames and the league is because I want to know that they care about about the same things as me. That my support of their enterprise requires their support of the environment. I want them to know that the things their ownership does affect me and my ability to support them. Maybe it will spark an uptick in environmentalism within the league, maybe it will do nothing, but I think that is my goal presently.

If merely investing in a company is enough for you to generate such passion, I will tell you right now that you should just stop watching NHL forever. I don't even have to do any research and I can tell you that every single owner has some investment in some company that isn't great for the environment (whether that'd be Intel and their heavy metals, any sort of manufacturing, energy, forestry, fishing, transport etc.)
I hope that you do some additional research on Canadian environmental standards and compare them directly to other countries' standards. Compared to other countries, our regulations are draconian. Mistakes still happen, but at least we won't have cover-ups, bribes and other corruption, and the company at fault will pay for the entirety of the clean up and remediation.
