I wonder if AHL teams on their buses make a bigger footprint than NHL teams in planes?

It would be an interesting study to read for sure. A jet would obviously burn huge amounts of fuel taking off, but after that, it's pretty much null. A fully loaded diesel bus starting and stopping for 6-10 hours, each way, might be closer than you think.
Electric trains, buses would be make things an entirely different story, but again it's all moot in most major Canadian and American cities as we still get 80-90% of our power from fossil fuel generation anyway.
