The fact that the Wheat Kings are the most travelled team in the WHL may not come as a huge surprise to many, but I found Alan Caldwell's blog posting below from last week to be very interesting.
In it he's taken the 09-10 WHL schedule and done a cumulative count on how many kilometers each team will spend traveling from city to city.
The Wheat Kings ranked head and shoulders above any other team with 32,052 KMs this year (2919 more than last year). To put things into perspective, the distance around the Earth at the equator is 41,499 KMs. Edmonton ranked #2 at 27,626. Regina has the easiest go of things with 19,220.
The posting and full list are here:
