The second largest circuit in North America has accepted this change, which will allow the Flames to have more flexibility in the management of its training.
“Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation has enjoyed the partnership with the City of Stockton since our arrival in 2015,” Heat general manager Brad Pascall said in a statement. We especially want to thank the Heat fans who have loyally supported the team and continue to do so throughout the playoffs.”
Details will still need to be finalized, but the change will come into effect for the next campaign. Until then, the Heat will continue their playoff run by facing the Colorado Eagles in the third round.
