History
Sockers 2 was created in 2017 to develop prospects for the San Diego Sockers. They played their only two seasons in the same arena as that parent club, the Pechanga Arena San Diego in San Diego. They went 7–5 in the regular season in 2018 and 2–1 in the playoffs, winning the first M2 Western Conference Championship. They advanced to the inaugural M2 Cup, falling to the eventual champions, the Chicago Mustangs, 7–0.[1] They captured the M2 Championship in 2019 with a 7–5 victory over Cuervos de Juarez, and folded shortly thereafter.
On June 24, 2021, M2 announced Sockers 2 will return in the 2021–2022 season.[2]
