Forgive the Bradley family if they scoff at the idea of a tough I-25 commute.
Chase Bradley played high school hockey at home in Oakville, Mo., a St. Louis suburb. He also played for the New Jersey Colonials in the Atlantic Youth Hockey League.
Wait, so that means …
“Yeah, I was commuting,” Bradley said. “Crazy story.”
St. Louis is not near the Atlantic Ocean, which the AYHL is named after. Oakville is, in fact, about 950 miles from Morristown, N.J., where the Colonials are based.
Google Maps says it’s a 14-hour drive. Crazy story, indeed.
