Heat Donate Coats and Canned Goods to Local Community

Over the last two Fridays, the Stockton Heat have offered free tickets to those looking to join the team in helping the community. On Friday, November 9 the Heat gave a free ticket to every five canned goods donated at the Stockton Arena Box Office. On November 16, the Heat took new or gently used coats in exchange for a free ticket.

A total of 897 cans were collected, accounting for 945 pounds in net weight donation. The Stockton Coat, Blanket and Sock Drive presented by The Record, ACE Train, United Way of San Joaquin County, SMG Stockton Arena, the Stockton Heat Hockey Team and Stockton Fire is a community drive in which all donations are distributed locally. Coats, blankets and socks will be collected around Stockton and on December 15 a distribution at Stockton Arena will occur. Local patrons in the community will have the opportunity to come pick out a jacket of their choice and will get new socks and a blanket.

Don’t forget to make it out to Harry Potter Sock Toss Night on Friday, November 30, where fans are encouraged to bring new packages of socks and when the Heat score their first goal, toss them onto the ice.  The socks will then be donated to the Stockton Coat, Blanket and Sock Drive!
