Our first stop will be on Exit 30, taking us to the City of Utica. The Handshake City has had several hockey teams call the Utica Memorial Auditorium (now the Adirondack Bank Center) home. Fitting, since everyone knows Slap Shot was filmed there—just ask anyone who's ever been to the Aud.

Utica College/University, Mohawk Valley Comets, Mohawk Valley Stars, Utica Bulldogs, Utica Blizzard, Mohawk Valley Prowlers, Mohawk Valley IceCats
