STOCKTON, CALIF. - The Stockton Heat, proud AHL affiliate of the NHL's Calgary Flames, today announced the team's schedule for the 2018-19 AHL regular season and preseason.
The 68-game schedule features 34 home dates at Stockton Arena, beginning with the Heat's Home Opener on Saturday, October 6 against the Ontario Reign at 6:00 p.m. and concluding in April with a regular season finale against the Bakersfield Condors on Sunday, April 14 at 5:00 p.m.
The Heat have two preseason games scheduled to get ready for the 2018-19 season against the Bakersfield Condors, the first on Saturday, September 29 at 2:00 p.m. at Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield. The following day, Sunday, September 30, Stockton will host a Preseason Party which will include activities in the Arena, a preseason game starting at 5:00 p.m. against Bakersfield, and a postgame Meet & Greet with the team.
Groups of 10 or more can purchase group tickets to the preseason game for $5 by calling the Stockton Heat Front Office at 209.373.1500. Single game tickets for the Preseason Party and game will go on sale Monday, September 3 for $10 while individual seats for the regular season will go on sale a week later on Monday, September 10 starting as low as $14.
"We are excited about this year's schedule as it provides us with better balance throughout the season on our home and away dates for the players to compete for a Calder Cup and to provide our fans with a world class patron experience," Heat CEO Brian Petrovek said. "We are looking forward to sharing further details outlining our promotional plans and game presentation program in the coming weeks."
The team will play 56 of its 68 games within the Pacific Division, along with eight intra-division games against the Central Division's Manitoba Moose, Iowa Wild and former divisional foes the San Antonio Rampage and Texas Stars.
For the first time since February 15, 2015, the Colorado Eagles will visit Stockton Arena after being named the Colorado Avalanche's AHL affiliate on January 5, 2019. The Heat will take on their Northern California neighbor, the San Jose Barracuda 12 times, the most of any opponent, followed closely by the 10 matchups scheduled against the Bakersfield Condors and Ontario Reign. The Heat's schedule is rounded out by eight games each against Colorado, the San Diego Gulls and Tucson Roadrunners, respectively.
Featuring 34 home dates at Stockton Arena, game times this coming season will again continue to align with the needs of our fans: all Wednesday and Friday home games will start at 7:00 p.m., Saturday games at 6:00 p.m. and Sunday games at 5:00 p.m. Both home games scheduled on Mondays will start at unique times as the Heat will host the San Jose Barracuda on 12/31 as we celebrate Kid's New Year's Eve starting at 5:00 p.m., which also features a postgame firework display on the ice. The Heat will host the Colorado Eagles on Monday, January 21 at 1:00 p.m. for Kings' Day, where we'll celebrate both the life of Martin Luther King and celebrate the Stockton Kings G-League team by wearing special, Kings inspired, jerseys that will be auctioned off after the game.
In addition to the Stockton Kings basketball specialty jersey, the Heat will wear lavender jerseys for Stockton Heat Hockey Fights Cancer on Saturday, November 3, desert camouflage jerseys on Military Appreciation Night on Saturday, December 8, a Mardi Gras inspired jersey on Mardi Gras Night on Friday, March 1 and a Stockton Ports baseball inspired jersey on Sunday, March 24.
