The American Hockey League (AHL) returned to Binghamton after a five-year absence in 2002. The city had a team in the United Hockey League (UHL) in the interim. The Binghamton Senators took to the ice that year and enjoyed a successful freshman season, going 43-26-9 for 97 points. They breezed by their first two playoff rounds, but were easily defeated by the Hamilton Bulldogs in 5 games. The 2003-04 season was not as successful and the loss of both Antoine Vermette and Jason Spezza weakened the team. They went 34-34-9 and quietly exited the playoffs thanks to a 2-0 sweep at the hands of the Norfolk Admirals. The National Hockey League (NHL) lockout of 2004-05 meant Binghamton got a return visit from their recent graduates. Jason Spezza lead the way with a league high 117 points earning the AHL MVP and brought the team back to contender form. The team took the first 2 games of their first round series against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins but were stunned when the Penguins answered back with the next 4 wins to take the series.
The franchise was previously known as:
New Haven Nighthawks (1972-1992)
New Haven Senators (1992-93)
Prince Edward Island Senators (1993-1996)
The market was previously served by:
Broome Dusters (NAHL 1973-1977)
Binghamton Dusters (1977-1980)
Binghamton Whalers (1980-1990)
Binghamton Rangers (1990-1997)
B.C. Icemen of the UHL (1997-2002)
