Stockton is a small town with big city problems. It's often typecast as the murder capital of California. I would never recommend anyone visit there unless you have to, in my case I have family who live there. Those that choose to live in Stockton permanently, are on a constant crusade to stop the endless pipeline towards gangs, crime and illiteracy. California in general has a ton of extremes and yes, you only see the best parts of California upvoted to your phone.
When I heard that Calgary was going to have an AHL affiliate in Stockton, I was waiting for the team to back out at some point, due to the criminal elements associated to the town. In particular, if you are a young kid in town to play pro hockey, you would be an easy target for criminals to shake you down. I was pleasantly surprised nothing major had ever happened to any of the Flames prospects over the tenure of the Flames holding court in Stockton.
As for what Adam posted to his socials, it will be extremely difficult to come back from what will be online forever.

I can't wait for the day my in-laws are not in that city.. It's wild The Flames actually had their farm team in that town. Amazing really.
That place is WILD, you literally can't go out at night without fear of getting robbed.
Anyways, from what I saw of Ruzicka - he was a terrible pickup anyways and probably would've been waived anyway
