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] 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.
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.
