The 2020-21 San Diego Gulls boasted the league leader in both points and assists (Andrew Poturalski – 34 & 43), the most games played (44), and a third place finish in the Pacific Division behind Henderson and Bakersfield. A two games to one series defeat at the hands of the aforementioned Condors left the Gulls on the outside of the Pacific Division Championship round, one that the Condors ultimately captured over the first place Silver Knights.
While the likes of Poturalski and AHL veteran Andrew Agozzino won’t be donning San Diego sweaters come 2021-22, there are plenty of returning (and new) faces ready to hit the ice for the Gulls next season.
Follow along as players re-sign, come in from another team, or depart before the season kicks off in mid-October! Be sure to check out the rest of the offseason player trackers in the AHL Pacific Division below.
