History

With the PSHL at its most popular extent, the San Diego Sharks were welcomed into the league in 1975. Just two years later, the Sharks won the league championship, ending the Fresno Falcons' 4-year run. In their third season, the team welcomed in former NHLer Willie O'Ree. [2] and made a run for a second championship but were stymied by the Falcons in the finals. Despite the team's success, they were not able to get financial stability and the club suspended operations in 1978.
