The San Diego Gulls were a professional ice hockey team based in San Diego, California, that competed in the International Hockey League (IHL). The team, the second to use the Gulls nickname, was founded in 1990. The team played its home games at the San Diego Sports Arena.

## History

[edit]

The team played five seasons, then relocated to Los Angeles, California, in 1995 to become the Los Angeles Ice Dogs. After one season in Los Angeles, the team moved to Long Beach to become the Long Beach Ice Dogs and later would leave the IHL and join the WCHL (West Coast Hockey League).

The Gulls were coached by Mike O'Connell (1990–91), Don Waddell (1991–92), Rick Dudley (1992–93), Harold Snepsts (1993–94), and Walt Kyle (1994–95). In the 1992–93 season, the Gulls won the Fred A. Huber Trophy, finishing first place overall in the regular season, setting an IHL record of 132 points earned as a team. The Gulls reached the Turner Cup finals, led by goaltender Clint Malarchuk, but were swept in four games by the Fort Wayne Komets.[1][2]
