Last October, Stoner represented the Aeros at a United Way Kick-Off campaign by providing a special Houston Aeros gift and signing autographs for the staff following the event.
During the holiday season, the Aeros helped build more than 20,000 bicycles for underprivileged children.
On Jan. 12, the Aeros' Canadian Night game, Stoner spoke to over 400 children from Kipp Academy, a low-income private school in Houston, and told them all about Canada. On Feb. 20, Clayton led the pack, at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center, to honor U.S. veterans during National Salute to Hospitalized Veterans (NSTHV) which was established as an official VA program in 1978.
Stoner is now one of 29 finalists for the AHL's 2007-08 Yanick Dupre Memorial Award, honoring the overall American Specialty/AHL Man of the Year. The league award is named after the former Hershey Bears forward and AHL All-Star who died in 1997 following a 16-month battle with leukemia.
