Playing in a Travelin' Band

A commenter compiled the travel distances for all 30 NHL teams so far this season over at Kukla's Korner (in miles):
1. Anaheim 26152
2. Los Angeles 24966
3. Edmonton 21926
4. Vancouver 20626
5. San Jose 19938
6. Colorado 19922
7. Columbus 16985
8. Phoenix 16915
9. Florida 16910
10. Calgary 16576
11. Atlanta 16303
12. Dallas 15610
13. Tampa Bay 15486
14. Philadelphia 14573
15. Minnesota 14542
16. Boston 13574
17. Nashville 13573
18. Detroit 13570
19. St Louis 13106
20. Pittsburgh 12294
21. Buffalo 12176
22. Chicago 11818
23. Toronto 11252
24. Washington 10990
25. Carolina 10855
26. Ottawa 10377
27. NY Rangers 9426
28. New Jersey 9214
29. Montreal 8071
30. NY Islanders 5667
Earlier this year, Hockey Numbers put together a list of what the total travel schedule distance would be for the season (using kilometres, just to make it interesting).

On the first list, Anaheim and Los Angeles are way up there due to their little U.K. adventure to start the season, but by year's end, the top travellers will be Vancouver, Edmonton, Colorado, Calgary and Phoenix.

New Jersey, the Islanders and Washington barely leave their area code this season.

29 NYI 63 39587 628
30 NJ 60 38815 647

If you look at the map of the league I put together last summer, you can really see why the miles would add up for Colorado and the three western Canadian cities.
