It was a record-setting opening month for the Stockton Heat, as they finished October with a 6-1-0-1 record which puts them in a tie for the top spot in the Pacific Division with the Ontario Reign with 13 points and fourth overall in the league.
For the first time in Heat history (or any Calgary AHL affiliate), the team has started the year with five road wins, with a pair of wins in Colorado and Bakersfield along with a victory in San Diego. Stockton notched their lone home win against the Gulls, while going 0-1-0-1 against the Condors, including an 11-round shootout loss (and some bad refereeing that allowed a Bakersfield high stick goal).
