Default Gary Bettman ALS Challenge

Didn't see an appropriate thread for this, so Mods move/delete if necessary.

Gary Bettman took the ALS 'ice-bucket' challenge and then challenged Brian Burke to do it:

CM Punk also did it and then challenged Darryl Sutter:

Any other Flames related challenges in this fashion?

Who came up with this, anyway? It's a rather brilliant way to create publicity.

I think it's the ALSA itself... http://www.alsa.org/news/archive/als...challenge.html

Interesting article on the phenomenon itself, as it's creating quite a stir across social media: https://time.com/3107510/ice-bucket-...-to-do-better/

Turns out it was a former college ballplayer in Boston. Gregory Campbell is the one that touched off the explosion.

I've seen almost every video if the ALS bucket challenges... Biznasty did it off of the glacier mountains. He challenged LBJ to do it.

I didn't realize that the Jokinen's and the McGrattons were that close.

Interesting.

I still see it on his Instagram. He challenged Arnold and Monahan:

Before Biznasty did his, I thought Andrew Ference's was pretty good. And as for other Flames, Bollig did it, and Joe Colborne got tagged (by Bartkowski) but I'm pretty sure he hasn't participated yet.

This tumblr page, and this list both seem quite comprehensive for the entire NHL, though neither have McGrattan's so there could easily be others missing, as well.
