Two things: 1. The Yanks at SEC schools is very much a big thing (especially in Ohio), because the scholarship opportunities are better than a lot of in-state schools, 2. The only other parents that give hockey parents a run for their money are swimming parents. Pool time, like ice time, is extremely hard to come by. So many 4:30-5 AM swim practices before school and so many far-away meets.
Can confirm Yankee infiltration of the SEC. I was a scheduling conflict away from traveling to Baton Rouge for Bama/LSU with my dad and his friend whose son is a freshman at LSU. Every person in this story was born and raised in Pennsylvania.
