Tucson Roadrunners vs. Stockton Heat hockey

Tucson Roadrunners center Mark Olver celebrates his first-period goal during the Roadrunners’ game against the Stockton Heat last Friday.

The Tucson Roadrunners averaged 3,927 fans through their first six games at the Tucson Convention Center Arena. That’s a distant 27th among 30 American Hockey League teams; the leader in attendance, the San Diego Gulls, average 8,702. The AHL schedule-makers didn’t do the Roadrunners much of a favor by giving them six homeΒ games in a 10-day period from Nov. 18-27, including games Tuesday and Wednesday night.Β
