The San Diego Surf were a semi-professional ice hockey team based in San Diego, California, that competed in the Pacific Southwest Hockey League from 1988 to 1992.[1]
History
San Diego was created in the wake of the Los Angeles Bruins dissolution in 1988. The club had a brief but spectacular life, winning the PSHL shcmpionship in each of its first two seasons while hardly losing a game. The Surf just just 5 games in its first three seasons and was by far the best team in the league. However, the team was never stable financially and by year four everything took a turn for the worse. The Surf lost more games in 1992 than they had in all other campaigns combined and by the end of the season the team was disbanded.[2]
