history

The franchise was founded in 1990 and started its gaming operations in the ECHL. Head coach was Chris McSorley , who was replaced by Dave Allison after a few games . The Renegades reached 64 points in their first season, which they finished fourth in the East Division and could qualify for the play-offs. In the first round they were defeated by the Hampton Roads Admirals in four games. In the following season, the Renegades scored 67 points and reached the playoffs. The team failed in the second round, in which they were defeated by the Winston-Salem Thunderbirds in five games. After the team failed again in the first playoff round in the following season, the Renegades just missed making it to the finals a year later.

The 1994/95 season was the climax of the franchise - with 89 points it won the East Division. After winning over Columbus Chill , Roanoke Express , Tallahassee Tiger Sharks and Greensboro Monarchs , the Renegades eventually won the Kelly Cup . In the following season, the Renegades reached 115 points in the regular season and won the Henry Brabham Cup .

Except for the 1998/99 season, in which the Richmond Renegades reached the finals of the Kelly Cup again, the team never survived the second playoff round. In 2003 the franchise was dissolved.
