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.
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.
