Cornwall Aces
The Cornwall Aces were a Canadian ice hockey franchise in the American Hockey League from Cornwall, Ontario. The venue of Aces was the Ed Lumley Arena.
History
The Cornwall Aces were founded in 1993 as AHL farm team of the Quebec Nordiques of the National Hockey League. The team was created by the relocation and renaming the franchise that, Nova Scotia in Halifax took earlier than Halifax Citadel in the AHL. Already in its first season, the Cornwall Aces were able to qualify for the playoffs, where they failed only in the third round at the Moncton Hawks. The following season was as successful as once again succeeded in gaining the third round, but you failed again. In the last round before the finals Cornwall lost the series 0-2 against the Fredericton Canadiens. In their last season in which they set out as a farm team for the relocated and renamed in Colorado Avalanche franchise, resigned from the Aces in the second playoff round and could not build on the successes of the first two seasons.
Following the 1995/96 season, the franchise of the Cornwall Aces was initially shut down because Colorado to working with the other AHL farm team, the Hershey Bears, concentrated. After the rights to the Cornwall Aces rested for three years, the franchise in 1999 was acquired by the Pittsburgh Penguins, it relocated to Wilkes- Barre and further led under the name Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins as their new farm team.
