<p>The City of Stockton and the Heat have signed a one-year contract extension, <a href="https://www.recordnet.com/sports/20200219/heat-city-of-stockton-agree-to-1-year-contract-extension">recordnet.com</a> reports.</p>
<p>The team has extended their current lease at Stockton Arena for an additional year, running through the 2020-21 season.</p>
<p>Negotiations have been ongoing for a multi-year lease, the recordnet reports.</p>
<p>Just days ago, reports surfaced that the Flames were examining options of moving the AHL franchise to Colorado Springs where they could play out of Broadmoor World Arena.</p>
<p>FlamesNation&#8217;s Ryan Pike wrote his about potential travel times:</p>
<blockquote><p>Flying call-ups from Stockton is a bit of an adventure. The drive from Stockton to San Francisco’s airport is an hour and a half, followed by a three hour flight to Calgary. Colorado Springs is just as much of a haul to Denver’s airport, but Denver’s more centrally-located relative to the rest of the NHL’s cities and so travel could be a tad easier for call-ups.</p></blockquote>
