The Hampton Gulls were an American minor league professional ice hockey team based in Hampton, Virginia, from 1974 to 1978 at the Hampton Coliseum. The Gulls played three seasons in the Southern Hockey League, beginning in 1974.[1] When that league folded in 1977, the Hampton played one season in the American Hockey League.[2] The Gulls were a World Hockey Association farm team to the Cincinnati Stingers each season.[3][4] John Brophy was the team's only head coach during its existence.[5] Hampton ceased operations on February 10, 1978, part way through its fourth season.[2]
