About

San Diego Gulls at Pechanga Arena

"America's Finest City" has an American Hockey League team that continues San Diego's long tradition of winning ice hockey. The San Diego Gulls are the AHL affiliate of the Anaheim Ducks, and play out of the historic Pechanga Arena. The arena has been known by many different names since opening in 1966, most notably the San Diego Sports Arena, and currently seats 12,920 for ice hockey. They are coached by Kevin Dineen, a second-generation NHL player and coach who helped lead the Canadian national women's hockey team to a gold medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

San Diego Gulls History

Professional ice hockey in San Diego has been around since the late 1940s, with the San Diego Skyhawks winning the Pacific Coast Hockey League's championship in 1949. Several teams have played under the San Diego Gulls banner since 1966, when the WHL's San Diego Gulls first took the ice. Hockey Hall of Fame member Willie O'Ree, best known for breaking barriers in the NHL as its first black player, played with San Diego from 1967 to 1974. In 1974, the Jersey Knights of the World Hockey Association relocated from Cherry Hill, N.J., and lasted for three seasons in the major league circuit. Two more teams with the Gulls name would play in San Diego from 1990 to 2006, with the International Hockey League's Gulls being replaced with the WCHL/ECHL Gulls in 1995.

The current iteration of the San Diego Gulls were established in 2000 as the Norfolk Admirals, and were originally the AHL affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks. The Admirals later became affiliated with the Tampa Bay Lightning, culminating in a 28-game winning streak to end the 2011-12 season and followed by a Calder Cup victory over the Toronto Marlies, before switching their affiliation to the Anaheim Ducks in the off-season. Since moving to San Diego in 2015, the Gulls have achieved success on and off the ice, with head coach Dallas Eakins being promoted to lead the parent club in Anaheim before the 2019 season.

    GULLS VS REIGN

    by JennyTarpley on 10/9/15Honda Center - Anaheim

    This was such an exciting game! These two team are definitely starting up a rivalry. I am very excited to see more West Coast hockey, and am impressed with the San Diego team. As an Ontario season ticket holder, I look forward to many more games this season but with different results. It is my hope that hockey will gain many more life long fans with this new resurgence of hockey. It truly does become a lifelong love affair!! It was a bit disappointing that so many of our printed tickets did not scan, even though they were all printed at the same time. Half of them worked just fine and the other half did not.

    Free minor league hockey

    by 2Thin on 10/8/15Honda Center - Anaheim

    The Ducks and Kings AHL teams played their final preseason game at the Pond, and tickets were free. How could I pass this up? First come, first serve on all seats in the house. We arrived just before the game and got really good seats in the club level (best level in the house IMO). By the time the game started there was over spill in to the upper deck. Honda Center is great for hockey and concerts, and although its older that Staples Center, I feel you get a more intimate experience for their events. Plus no downtown parking mess!

    You want to see AHL matches because these are players trying to make it up to the big league NHL level. The play is fast and furious non-stop. The games are a great value.

    It was fantastic that the Duck orgainaization put this on for the fans. It was great that so many fans came out for the game and the King fans were there in force that made the entire night a great time.

    Baby Ducks vs. Baby Kings

    by LetsgoGulls on 10/8/15Honda Center - Anaheim

    It was an amazing game. Free admission, first come first serve, all amenities open, great atmosphere. It's always a good game when you leave with a Win! Gibson was a great addition to the San Diego Gulls AHL team that night, everyone out it a lot of great work, kept the puck at the shoutout end of the ice. Great win Gulls. P.S. WildWing was seen cheering on the Gulls.

    FANtastic

    by Frugals on 10/8/15Honda Center - Anaheim

    This was the first home game for the Gulls. It was held at the Honda Center in Anaheim. All tickets and parking were free. The arena was about 75% full. The game was won by the Gulls 5 to 3 over Ontario. The Gulls came to play, Ontario seemed to play with no purpose. Seems the Kings, Ontario's parent club plays the same. This was a preseason game, so I guess practice is what they were doing. The Gulls had Gibson playing and is the goalie for the season. He played a good game, even drawing a roughing penalty in the first quarter. Another standout player for the Gulls was Richie, a 19 year old prospect. He was evolved in a fight and delighted the crowed with an overhand right to the Ontario player over the head of the Ref. He did get a roughing penalty. The game was well played by the Gulls, a good time was had by all. On side note the Chicken Tenders at $10.00 were dried out before the game, and the hot dogs were soggy buns and not very good for $6.40. Eat before you go elsewhere.
