The San Francisco Bulls were a professional ice hockey team based in San Francisco, California. They played in the ECHL (East Coast Hockey League) from 2012 to 2014. The team was established to bring professional hockey back to the city after a long absence and played their home games at the Cow Palace. The Bulls were known for their distinctive black and gold team colors and their bull logo. Despite their efforts to engage the local community and build a fan base, the team faced financial difficulties and ultimately ceased operations in 2014.
