Long Beach Bombers


The Long Beach Bombers are a Tier III junior ice hockey team in Pacific group of the United States Premier Hockey League's Premier Division. The team plays its home games at The Rinks – Lakewood ICE in Lakewood, California.

History

Following the departure of the original Bombers franchise, Long Beach native and former Anaheim Ducks player Emerson Etem founded a new team. The Long Beach Shredders, were set to begin play in 2021 at the same Lakewood Ice location as the Bombers. The Shredders played fairly poorly during their brief existence, ending their 2024 season as the worst team in the Pacific division and third worst in the Premier League overall with a 6-40-0 record in 46 games and a -338 goal differential.

Rebrand announcement

In April 2024, the USPHL reported that former Bombers player Curtis Fisher and SoCal entrepreneur Josh Fitzgerald had purchased the Shredders and revived the Bombers name. Fisher had played for the team when it was the Bay City Bombers and when it first became the Long Beach Bombers. Fitzgerald was a longtime supporter and a previous club sponsor. Their 2024-25 season opener was against the fledgling Ventura Vikings.
