Had to google it: Rapid City is South Dakota, and their name is presumably related to Mount Rushmore (their arena is on Mt Rushmore Road).

Neat.

It looks like there are usually multiple daily direct flights to Denver, which is about an hour and half flight. Then, there are multiple daily direct flights from Denver to Calgary. Recalls probably won't be any worse than Kansas City to Stockton was, and they might even be better.

If the threat of forced deportation to Rapid City North Dakota doesn’t get you in the gym, nothing will.

It's South Dakota, but fair.

It's not a bad little town. If you played junior in a place like Moose Jaw or Brandon, you'll probably feel right at home there.

You're probably right but I wouldn't rush to conclusions.

This area is actually pretty cool, Deadwood is one of the coolest towns I’ve been to in the states and only 30 min away.

Here's the distance on a map. The time is driving time, but the flights will take 5+ hours.
