While the Heat may not have had traditional hockey success (team has missed the playoffs 2 out of it’s 3 years in Stockton), it has been successful doing it’s job as a place for the Flames to develop their prospects.
2017-18 saw 4 players (Ryan Lomberg, Andrew Mangiapane, Morgan Klimchuk, Spencer Foo) who started the season on the Heat make their NHL debuts, as well as David Rittich who made his first NHL start and earn his first NHL win. Lomberg recorded his first assist, while Foo chipped in 2 goals.
