It took a while for the Gulls to find their feet again. They lost…

During the preseason Gulls head coach Kevin Dineen said he wasn’t worried about his offense because he had a nice stable of goal scorers. Coach was definitely not wrong.

The last time the Gulls played an American Hockey League game they beat Tucson 4-2. That was March 11, 2020, a wild 311 days ago. Chase De Leo scored the final goal that night. He got sick of waiting to score another one. De Leo found the net twice in a 4-1 win over Bakersfield in the first outing of…

The Gulls have always had good, young talent. But this year? They have something a little different. “Unreal, God-given talent, and now they’ve just got to hone in on it here in the American Hockey League,” says Gulls play-by-play announcer Andy Zilch. The talent belongs to four teenagers: wingers Brayden Tracey and Jacob Perreault, center Trevor Zegras and defenseman...

Ladies and gentlemen, hockey is back! The Gulls opened training camp on Monday up in Orange County, where they’ll play all their home games to be close to their parent club the Anaheim Ducks.
