The Atlantic City Seagulls were a minor professional ice hockey team based in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The team played at the Boardwalk Hall and moved to Philadelphia in 1942.[1]

History

The Seagulls began as an independent amateur team in 1930, playing exhibition games in their inaugural season. After formalizing the organization the following year, the team became a founding member of the

Eastern Amateur Hockey League in December.[2] Atlantic City was a staple of the EAHL for nine seasons but the team began experience problems due to World War II. Due to financial and personnel constraints, the team posted its worst performance in 1942. After the season, the Philadelphia Rockets announced that they were suspending operations. The Seagulls then moved to Philadelphia, taking up residency at the Philadelphia Arena
, which, although was a small venue, was in a much more populated area.

After the war, a second Atlantic City Seagulls team was founded, although it had no connection to this franchise.
