With Bentley playing Boston College for the first time this weekend I started thinking this may be one of the closest pairs of NCAA Division 1 schools around. While they are less than 6 miles apart they are not even in the top 8. Boston area schools BC, BU, Northeastern and Harvard are all within 5 miles of each other. Bentley is even closer to Harvard than BC also. However even closer than BU and Northeastern or BU and Harvard, the closest pair of schools is Brown and Providence I believe. Other schools within 10 miles although very close to 10 are Quinnipiac and Yale and Clarkson and St.Lawrence. Bentley and BU and Bentley and Northeastern also come within 10. Beyond that I think the next may be Merrimack and UMass Lowell within 20 miles. Anyone who can correct me or add to this list is most welcome.

Carlson to Meehan 3267.08
Carlson to Schneider 3265.25
Carlson to Matthews 3247.11
Carlson to Agganis 3245.48
Carlson to Conte 3245.06
Carlson to Bright 3244.34
Carlson to Von Braun 3236.07
So, while Huntsville is a good guess, Boston is a few miles further and Providence is 30 miles further.

Re: Division 1 Hockey Schools in close proximity
Great info Sean. That is exactly what I was hoping to see in your responses. I was looking at campus to campus but rink to rink is far better. I would think by road Anchorage is further than Fairbanks as you cannot drive along the coast in Alaska.

Re: Division 1 Hockey Schools in close proximity
Originally posted by Sean Pickett View PostBy road Google gives 4,428 miles from Carlson to Meehan and 4,543 miles from Sullivan to Meehan. I can't be sure that they are the shortest distance wise, as Google bases travel routes on time, but I would think they are close. It also gives 3,384.90 straight line miles from Sullivan to Meehan, making it almost 18 mile longer than Carlson to Meehan.

Re: Division 1 Hockey Schools in close proximity
Originally posted by Ralph Baer View PostI haven't been able to figure out how to get direct miles from Google Maps, but comparing this to your earlier post, either that should be 3284.90 straight line miles or the distance difference is almost 118 miles.

The reason for the talent in the west? Because MN didn't rely on Canada.
