The '''Providence Reds''' were a [[ice hockey|hockey]] team that played in the [[Canadian-American Hockey League]] (CAHL) between 1926–19361926 and 1936 and the [[American Hockey League]] (AHL) from 1936 to 1977, the last season of which they played as the '''Rhode Island Reds'''. The team won the [[Calder Cup]] in 1938, 1940, 1949, and 1956. The Reds played at the [[Rhode Island Auditorium]], located on North Main Street in [[Providence, Rhode Island]], from 1926 through 1972, when the team affiliated with the [[New York Rangers]] and moved into the newly- built [[Providence Civic Center]]. The team name came from the roosterbreed of chicken known as the [[Rhode Island Red]].
 
When the [[North American Hockey League (1973-19771973–77)|North American Hockey League]] folded in 1977, the [[Broome Dusters]] acquired the Reds franchise and moved them to [[Binghamton, New York]], where they were known as the [[Binghamton Dusters]], [[Binghamton Whalers]], and [[Binghamton Rangers]]. In 1997 the franchise was sold to [[Madison Square Garden]] and then moved to become the [[Hartford Wolf Pack]]. On November 27, 2010, they were renamed the [[Connecticut Whale (AHL)|Connecticut Whale]] to honor the [[National Hockey League|NHL]]'s [[Hartford Whalers]].;<ref>http{{Cite web|last=Doyle|first=Paul|date=November 28, 2010|title=Hartford Hockey: A Whale Of A Debut|url=https://www.courant.com/sports/hockey/hc-whale-debut-1128-20101127,0,7689490.-story.html|access-date=November 28, 2010|website=[[Hartford Courant]]}}</ref> but changed their name back to the Wolf Pack in 2013. It is the oldest continuously operating minor-league hockey franchise in North America, having fielded a team in one form or another since 1926 in the CAHL. It is also the only AHL franchise to have never missed a season.
 
The AHL returned to Providence in [[1992-931992–93 AHL season|1992]] in the form of the [[Providence Bruins]]. Formed in 2001, The [[Rhode Island Reds Heritage Society]] commemorates the existence of the franchise and keeps the memory alive. Their pinnacle event is an annual reunion that takes place during the first weekend in August.
