The
Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies was an ECHL hockey team located in
Atlantic
City
, New
Jersey
, that played from 2001 to 2005. The team's venue was
the historic Boardwalk
Hall
, which seats 6,979.
In 2001,
the franchise played its inaugural season in Atlantic City after
relocating from Birmingham, Alabama
, where it was known as the Birmingham Bulls. In 2003,
the team won the
Kelly Cup, beating the
Columbia Inferno in the
finals.

to draw strong attendance. In its championship season, attendance
averaged slightly above 3,000 per game.
During the 2005
season, the franchise was sold to an ownership group from Stockton,
California
. The team became the
Stockton Thunder beginning with the 2005–06
season.
