History AHL hockey returned to Binghamton after a five-year absence in 2002 (The city had a team in the UHL in the interim). The Binghamton Senators took to the ice that year and enjoyed a successful freshman season, going 43-26-9 with 97 pts. 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 from the Norfolk Admirals.
