Anaheim Bullfrogs

The Anaheim Bullfrogs were a professional inline hockey team based in Anaheim, California. The Bullfrogs played in Roller Hockey International (1993-1997) and Major League Roller Hockey (1998) before returning to Roller Hockey international (1999). the Bullfrogs played their home games in the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim.

The team could be labeled as the most successful franchise of RHI. The team won two championships in 1993 and 1997, the only team to win more than one. The team also won the Major League Roller Hockey championship in 1998. The team also went to the Murphy Cup finals two other times but lost to the Orlando Jackals in 1996 and the St. Louis Vipers in 1999. The team lasted the full length of the RHI and had the highest attendance figures at the Arrowhead Pond.

The Anaheim Bullfrogs made a brief comeback when they joined IHA, a pro roller hockey league held during the NHL Lockout at the Anaheim's Convention Center. They were one of the six teams participating in the league. However due to poor management the league folded half way through the season and The Bullfrogs were once again gone. They were undefeated up until the collapse of the league.

Recently the Anaheim Bullfrogs were spotted playing games under the name Labeda, their sponsor when they played in the IHA, at the 949 Roller Hockey Centers in Irvine in the adult league. Could this be another Anaheim Bullfrogs revival?

Some players of note include: Rob Laurie (goaltender), Joe Cook, Hugo Belanger, Mark Wolf, B.J. MacPherson, Todd Wetzel, Darren Perkins, Jim Ficenec, Victor Gervais, Kevin Kerr, Brad McCaughey, Derek Booth, and Savo Mitrovic.
