This. Why would the Flames ever put their players at risk in such an environment... I'll be honest, I don't know a lot about Stockton, but based on what I'm hearing, it just doesn't seem like the brightest idea.

I'll think of the Flames' prospects next summer as I'm hanging out on a pristine Adirondack lake.
Stupid move. I really thought that the Glens Falls community was embracing the Flames. People have been saying that this is the toughest, hardest working team that they've seen in Glens Falls in a long time.

I'm sure the Flames prospects will be terribly upset to be traveling to San Diego in the dead of winter compared to beautiful Utica.

Stockton is actually closer to Sacramento (~60 min drive) than it is to the Bay Area (SFO/OAK/San Jose).
Stockton is basically the Red Deer of California.

Beautiful arena, scoreboard nicer than the Saddledome's, holds 10,000+, think it could be a good move murdering in the streets aside!

There are a few reasons for a western move. One is to have affiliates closer to their parent clubs. A few teams have gotten into trouble not being able to call a player up in time — then-Los Angeles prospect Brayden Schenn got his first NHL game as a juniors player because the team couldn’t get someone from Manchester, New Hampshire, in time.
Another reason is financial. The ECHL teams in Stockton, Bakersfield and Ontario average better attendance than their AHL counterparts in Glens Falls, Oklahoma City and Manchester. Stockton averages 4,131 fans a night, compared to Adirondack’s 3,461.
The theory is the Pacific Division teams would almost exclusively play each other and not travel out of California often, thus avoiding travel costs and nights on the road that hinder player development.
