Hittin' the Road...

The following is a summary of my roadtrips to watch College Hockey. The mileage figures include only "surface miles"; plane flights are additional. This was inspired by Greg Berge's "Magnificent Obsession" page, by which it is completely dwarfed. (Although my drive from Santa Barbara to Denver in December 1995 has him beat for longest single trip, and I finally edged him out in games, if not land miles, last season.)

By The Way

If you're looking to go on a college hockey roadtrip of your own, there are some on-line resources for the ECAC trips.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the ECAC
From The Big Red What?, written by Greg again, and he ought to know.

Tips for Road Trips
This one's not online, but if you join the Cornell Hockey Booster Association, you'll get the FACEOFF newsletter, which contains Curt and Ann Ashman's advice on the current Cornell roadtrip.
