The Stockton Heat are making their valiant return to the Pacific Division after playing in the Canadian Division in 2020-21. This change was made to better accommodate travel restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. In their previous modified season, they ended with an 11-17-2-0 record. Not what they would have hoped for after a strong start to the year, but room to improve as they will be back in the Stockton Arena in October expecting to play a full season.
While many aspects of the roster are expected to look the same for the season opener in October, there have been some changes in the offseason that will result in a few new faces on the bench while others depart and debut with new clubs. Here is how the Stockton Heat roster is looking at this point in the summer.Â
