Even with the new schedule, the max travel distance is relatively unchanged from last season when it was about 87,000 Km. It appear that the Pacific conference is taking a lot of plane trips. Vancouver's schedule has a lot of long road trips to minimize travel distance. The Atlantic division will be doing about 20% more travel this season due to the new schedule.
