Depends where in Montgomery county.
Cmon.

But it is a good club. My kids played there for a couple seasons an had fairly good experiences. Although the striver parents there can be a bit much, and tend to stick their noses in more than other places, with things like what line their kid is on and who their line mates are.

Op, where in Moco? Believe it or not, reston and st James, and tricity, can actually be more convenient from certain parts of Moco. Rockville ice area can be a serious pita. And the rink is one of the worse ones in the area for watching you kid on a nightly basis. [/quote]

Are you saying you think living in Montgomery County, MD and crossing the American Legion bridge in rush hour traffic twice a week to get to Reston or St. James practice is more convenient than driving to Rockville? That is a surprising statement. I disagree, but you do you.[/quote]

You seem to have missed the important point made by the PP that there is also Tri-City.  We live in Montgomery County and the drive to Laurel is reasonable. (and for the games at least, you're not playing at your home rink for 1/2 the time anyways) 
More importantly, Tricity is a nicer organization in our experience. After being rather involved in MYHA in the earlier years of our kid's playing, we switched a few years ago after getting very turned off by the MYHA organization (e.g.,  top management is not ethical; although some volunteer parents are very nice.). This affects your experience in ways you might not expect. I know a number of families from MYHA that also have ended up making the switch and have been much happier at Tri-City. (Very few former team-mates I can think of are still at MYHA, though part of that is because earlier teams were co-ed and I don't know where the girls are now)
When we changed clubs, it was a little hurdle (mentally) for our kid who had to try out without being a 'known quantity' and among other players he didn't know. It also felt strange to make the leap when others we knew had not cottoned on to MYHA's issues. But it worked out and we haven't regretted it for a second. Good quality, ethical management positively affects your experience (and your player's).[/quote]
