Stockton Heat News Release
SAN DIEGO, Calif. - Byron Froese potted a pair of goals and Jon Gillies was strong in his season debut as the Stockton Heat routed San Diego by a 5-1 final score at the Gulls' home opener Friday night at Pechanga Arena. The Heat dominated from start to finish, outshooting their Pacific Division counterparts 37-24 on the night while four members of the visiting team notched multi-point games. Alan Quine's multi-assist night gives him three points over the Heat's last two games while Dillon Dube stayed hot on the offensive end with a pair of helpers of his own, giving him five points in Stockton's last three games.
