Like others in this thread, I learned many a lesson on the greyhound. I moved away to play hockey when I was 13, so the easiest and cheapest way to get home on school breaks was the to cruise in style aboard the stinky bus. I think it was $40 one way from Lethbridge to Calgary?
And my most important lesson...if you don’t stop the puck, you don’t make the team, and then you take the bus home. Longest 14 hours of my life was the milk run trip from Regina to Calgary. It’s never a good sign when you’re happy to see Medicine Hat! But, I made every single team I tried out for after that lesson, so apparently it stuck in my mind!
