San Diego Gulls News Release
SAN DIEGO â The San Diego Gulls have announced a revised playing schedule for the 2004-05 season, highlighted by an additional Saturday home game against the Louisiana IceGators. The ECHL Board of Governors necessitated the revision following the termination of memberships in Greensboro and Roanoke.
The Gulls will now host the South Division rival IceGators on Saturday, Jan. 15 at 7:05 p.m. Louisiana finished atop the Central Division last season with 98 points (48-22-2), second only to the Gulls in the Western Conference.
Because of the additional home date, San Diego will no longer host the Victoria Salmon Kings on Thursday, April 7. The Gulls have one other home schedule change, as they will now host their Southern California rival Long Beach Ice Dogs on Wednesday, Dec. 15 at 7:05. Originally the Blue and Orange were slated to host the Bakersfield Condors on Dec. 15.
San Diego also has three changes to its road schedule. On Thursday, Jan. 13 at 7:05 p.m. the club will play in Las Vegas against the Wranglers. On Friday, Jan. 14 at 7:30 p.m. the Gulls will play in Long Beach. The other road schedule change will be Friday, March 11, as they will now play in Long Beach at 7:30 p.m. Originally San Diego was slated to play in Las Vegas on March 11.
All of the other games on the Gulls' original schedule remained the same. They will still play 72 regular season games, but now 59 (instead of 60) will be against West Division rivals.
The Gulls will open the season Friday, Oct. 22 in Long Beach before their Home Opener on Saturday, Oct. 23 against the Fresno Falcons.
With the termination of Greensboro and Roanoke, the ECHL will now consist of 28 teams in 16 states and one province in Canada (British Columbia). The ECHL also revised the division alignment for 2004-05 with the Augusta Lynx moving from the South Division to the East Division in the American Conference. San Diego's division (West) and conference (National) did not change. The Kelly Cup Playoffs format was also not affected.
Below is the Gulls' complete 2004-05 schedule (dates and game times are still subject to change). Following that is a complete breakdown of head-to-head match-ups. (For a printer-friendly version of the schedule, log onto www.sandiegogulls.com.
