Seems like if you know where to go there is tons to do when you have a day or two away from the rink.
Also you could literally live next door to the Arena, baseball stadium, Civic Auditorium all while having access to the waterfront and your basic necessities. I do feel there is quite a lot to do when you actually research the area.

It's the eighth most dangerous city in America, except unlike the major cities on that list Stockton is only 300k so the crime is always close by. Hell, they had a major drive by shooting with like four people shot just a block or two from the arena last season.
And no, young players aren't driving 3-5 hours round trip from where they live to get away from Stockton on a regular basis. Have you seen an AHL player schedule? It's similar to an NHL player, they're constantly back and forth from the arena for practice/film/training/meetings/games.
