Wikipedia - San Diego Gulls
The San Diego Gulls are a professional ice hockey team based in San Diego, California, playing in the American Hockey League (AHL). The Gulls began play in the 2015–16 season. The team plays their home games at Pechanga Arena. The Gulls are the affiliate team of the National Hockey League (NHL's) Anaheim Ducks.
History
On January 29, 2015, the Anaheim Ducks announced that they would purchase their AHL affiliate, the Norfolk Admirals, and would be moving the team to San Diego as one of five charter members of the AHL's new Pacific Division. The team plays at the Pechanga Arena San Diego, the sixth professional hockey team to play there, following the original San Diego Gulls of the WHL (1966–74), the San Diego Mariners of the WHA (1974–77), the San Diego Hawks/Mariners of the Pacific Hockey League (1977–79), the second San Diego Gulls of the IHL (1990–1995), and the third San Diego Gulls of the West Coast Hockey League (1995–2003) and later the ECHL (2003–06). The team is the fifth hockey team in San Diego to use the "Gulls" name.
The Gulls' name, logo and colors were revealed on February 22, 2015 at HockeyFest. HockeyFest was deemed a success, drawing over 8,500 enthusiastic hockey fans.
The San Diego Gulls played their first home game on October 10, 2015, against the Grand Rapids Griffins. The team finished its inaugural season with an average attendance of 8,675, second in the league after the Hershey Bears.
After four seasons and three playoff appearances, the Anaheim Ducks promoted Gulls' head coach Dallas Eakins to the same position with the Ducks. Former Florida Panthers' head coach Kevin Dineen was hired as the next head coach.
Approaching the delayed 2020–21 season, due to COVID-19 pandemic considerations, the Gulls announced they would temporarily relocate and play the season out of the Ducks' practice rink, Great Park Ice & FivePoint Arena, in Irvine, California. The Gulls finished third in the Pacific Division and lost in the semifinals to the second place Bakersfield Condors in division postseason tournament. After two seasons, the Ducks did not extend head coach Dineen, instead hiring former Laval Rocket head coach Joel Bouchard. After a lackluster season under Bouchard, the Gulls would hire long-time AHL head coach Roy Sommer to be their fourth head coach in team history.
In Sommer's only season as head coach of the Gulls, the Gulls finished with the worst points percentage and least amount of points in the AHL. Their .299 points percentage was the worst in franchise history.
Rivalries
The Gulls consider the Ontario Reign, the Los Angeles Kings' AHL affiliate, to be their main rivals and advertise games as "Rivalry Night". The teams faced each other in the 2016 division finals, where the Reign defeated the Gulls 4–1 in a best-of-seven series. San Diego then defeated the Reign in the 2017 Calder Cup playoffs 3-games-to-2 in the division semifinals.
The team was founded in 2015 and quickly became a fan favorite in the San Diego area. The Gulls play their home games at the Pechanga Arena, which provides an exciting and energetic atmosphere for fans to enjoy.
Known for their fast-paced and physical style of play, the Gulls have consistently been competitive in the AHL, making multiple playoff appearances and contending for the Calder Cup championship.
The team's roster is filled with talented and skilled players who are dedicated to representing the city of San Diego with pride and passion. The Gulls have a strong fan base that supports them both at home and on the road, making them a force to be reckoned with in the AHL.
Overall, the San Diego Gulls are a dynamic and exciting ice hockey team that embodies the spirit of competition and sportsmanship. They continue to be a source of pride for the city of San Diego and a team that fans can rally behind.
