Hockey is back here in the Central Valley of California, with less than a week until the only home preseason game for the Stockton Heat. I want to thank the writers here at FlamesNation for allowing me to continue providing updates from the farm. In my second season, I will be trying to dive deeper into individual players and their progress towards their goal of reaching the NHL.
As a reminder, my articles are written from a fan’s standpoint. I have never played the game but have been following it since the late ’80s. This is our fourth season watching the Heat and third as full season ticket holders.
