Stockton happened because a bunch of people wanted a cluster of AHL teams in California to cut down travel costs. Understandable, but whoever came up with the idea seems to have looked at the map and never glanced at the territory.
Abbotsford was the real head-scratcher. No sense in that from any angle. But I think at that point, the Flames had had so many farm teams go bust, they couldn't afford to be choosy. (Remember the Ak-Sar-Ben Knights? No? Neither does anyone else.)
