If you're counting on traveling youth hockey parents to boost the local economy, the area must be in a world of hurt.

If you have a kid on VJW select you will travel to Hyannis 1.45 min, Burlington 2.30and Springfield 2.30
IHC tier 1 just got real attractive

If you have a kid on VJW select they're not going to make it on IHC Tier1.

IHC will have 2 tier 1 teams next season

Which Springfield is 2:30 from Haverhill? Not MA.

When you take that ride next year post how long it took. Thanks in advance

OK tough guy, I'll do you even better since I drove that route this weekend. 90-100 minutes to Springfield from from the Merrimack Valley. 2.5 hours gets you to the MA/NY border. Travel is part of youth hockey. If you don't want to make the trip, there are always other families willing to take your kid along, at least in my experience.
