I expect everyone on this thread knows the drill, but given the size of this country (meaning a 'close' drive is 3 hours away) and the number of kids here who play sports like hockey for whom traveling long distance for games is part of the routine, this is every parent's worst nightmare. This is just.....shitty.
(these kids play Junior A hockey, so they are late teens (16-17 ish). It is a step below a Major Junior league (which would be the last level before a pro league). Some of these kids likely could have gone on to play in the NHL.)

One of my fears also when traveling on the road so much. That truly sucks for the community.
I am guessing that we put on at least 10,000+ miles for soccer in a yr. I just turned over 40k on my 1 yr old Landcruiser. Only 25-30 is for work.
