The new Renegades replaced the United Hockey League Richmond RiverDogs, who relocated to suburban Chicago for the 2006–07 season to become the Chicago Hounds. The most recent Renegades were the second team with that name; the first was an ECHL team that played from 1990–2003.

The Richmond Renegades ceased operations at the end of the 2008–2009 season.[1]

gollark: How do you coordinate that?! They can't do that in countries with comparatively bad tech and much less land area/cultural variation/whatever.
gollark: With one world government this would not be possible unless it had strong devolution.
gollark: Additionally: normally, governments do somewhat different things, and we can use that to determine which things are better (very noisily).
gollark: If the one world government turns apioform there is nothing much you can do about it.
gollark: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
