Hockey fan here. My home is Thunder Bay, Ontario. I have not traveled specifically to watch a game. It is usually a part of a planned trip. I have family close enough to Toronto that I have watched games there in the past. Usually for special occasions. Not so much any more because I find that venue ridiculously expensive. I have gone to Winnipeg, 8 hours away.
I winter in the Phoenix East Valley area and have watched lots of 'Yotes games. 1.5 to 2 hours away in Glendale. Haven't been since covid as it is still around I am still a bit antsy about big crowds.
We do shopping trips to Minneapolis, and frequently fly from there to vacation destinations. I pick up Wild games when I can.
Good for you for traveling across the pond to watch, I assume, your favourite team. I would be hard pressed to convince my wife who is not a sports fan.
