The Baby Whalers came on the scene in 1980 when the NHL’s Hartford Whalers acquired Binghamton’s previous American Hockey League club, the Broome Dusters, and re-branded the team. During the 1989-90 season, Binghamton was historically awful. The Whalers’ 11-60-9 record ranked as the worst winning percentage in AHL history at the time. After that dreadful season, the New York Rangers replaced Hartford as Binghamton’s parent organization. The team was re-branded as the Binghamton Rangers for the 1990-91 AHL season.
