Well, that sucked.
On their way to the best season in Stockton Heat history, someone had to make tainted bat stew and the world stopped. Two months later, the AHL decided the cancel the remainder of the season. The last game for the Heat was a Tuesday night loss to the San Jose Barracuda by the score of 7-4 (side note: the Heat went 0-2 on Tuesday games). The 2016-17 season will remain as the best Stockton Heat team with 77 points and a playoff berth.
The Heat ended the season with a 30-17-4-4- record, good for 68 points and third in the Pacific Division.
