How far do you drive each way for Hockey practice?
« on: August 09, 2017, 12:14:34 PM »
Let's have some fun here.

Go ahead and tell us the longest drives in time or miles. Can be current or in the past.

I will go first 75 miles each way.   

Can anyone top this?

90 Miles each way. This is a big win for us since last season was 106 each way. Ugh!

LOL. I keep hearing about kids who live in Vegas and fly in to play for the Jr. Ducks. That has me beat by a long shot! Unless it is an urban legend or something. Then yeah, I'm still in first place :)

Not an urban legend.  Had a player a couple of years ago who commuted from Vegas to Lakewood.

My son played PWA with a boy that came from Visalia to play in Valencia.  150 miles each way. 


My commute is currently a dreadful 200!!  ....... yards.  But sometimes it takes me over a minute to turn left into traffic.

30 miles each way. Usually 50 minutes to get there in the carpool lane, and 40 minutes to get home.

The out of state Communtes are difficult in this survey. Typically, Arizonans and Nevadans that "Commute" to Anaheim, Riverside or LA, Fly or drive in for week-ends only.  They normally abstain from mid-week practices.
In Arizona, it's common to see AA to AAA talent commute 130-150 miles, even during mid-week games with Tucson to Peoria traffic that could stretch into 3 1/2 hr commute, one-way. We're doing our best to develop a program in Tucson, it's currently at B level for most age groups. Our Northern AZ 1st liners are often tempted by the fruit of AAA 90+ miles 2+ hrs.
