The San Diego Gulls, the only professional hockey team in San Diego, prepare for their season opener on October 12 in Toronto
The San Diego Gulls of the American Hockey League (AHL) serve as San Diego’s only professional hockey team and the primary development team for the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League (NHL). The team was established in 2015 and currently plays their home games at Pechanga Arena.
Anaheim Ducks owners Henry and Susan Samuelli purchased the Norfolk Admirals in 2015, the Ducks AHL affiliate at the time, and relocated them to San Diego.
