The AHL released the dates and opponents for all 32 teams’ home openers with the full schedule set to be released tomorrow, July 12.

Last season, the Gulls went 2-4 against their region rival with both victories coming on the road. The Gulls held a 2-1 advantage to the Reign at Toyota Arena while going 0-3 at home.

The Gulls finished the 2022-23 season in last place of the Pacific Division with a 20-49-2-1 (43 pts) overall record. They haven’t made the playoffs since the 2022 season where they fell to the Reign in the first round, two games to none.
