Distance is not the factor, its traffic flow. Odd's are if you are driving to the North from the South for Hockey or Soccer.

A person is traveling during rush hour. during rush hour deerfoot is a problem

They already said they are travelling late at night for 11:30pm hockey.

Deerfoot/Glenmore/Crowchild is much faster.

You lose.

Let me throw my hat in the ring with the Deerfoot/Glenmore/Crowchild people. At that time of night, I have first hand knowledge that you could be door-to-door in a touch over a half hour.

I agree with the Glenmore -> Crowchild route

That being said, make sure when you turn onto Crowchild from Glenmore you get in the left hand lane before 17th Ave, it's the only one that goes through to the NW. The right hand lane turns off at Bow Trail and the centre lane turns off at Memorial Drive. The Bow-Crow interchange is a disaster...
