Is it possible – I made it to two hockey games in January? Both were birthday gifts, the first was a San Jose Sharks game with my daughter and her fiancé and the most recent, a Stockton Heat game attended as part of a birthday dinner/night out with my friend Kremer. It was his first hockey game and as my excellent planning skills would have it, the Heat (affiliate of the Calgary Flames) were hosting none other than the San Jose Barracuda, the AHL (Triple A) affiliate of the Sharks.
