The Binghamton Black Bears are a minor professional hockey team in the Federal Prospects Hockey League (FPHL) based in Binghamton, New York, with home games at Visions Veterans Memorial Arena.
History
A new Federal Prospects Hockey League (FPHL) team owned by Andreas Johansson, the majority owner of the Watertown Wolves, was approved to play at Visions Veterans Memorial Arena in Binghamton, New York, on May 12, 2021.
The team began play in the 2021–22 season, replacing the Binghamton Devils of the American Hockey League (AHL) that had relocated to Utica, New York. Former ECHL player James Henry was initially named the team's first head coach, but he left in August 2021 to join the ECHL's Reading Royals as an assistant coach. Former Danville Dashers and Indianapolis Ice head coach Rod Davidson was then hired to replace Henry. For 2022-23, veteran coach Gary Gill was hired to take over the team as head coach. He left the team in December, at which time Brant Sherwood was hired as interim head coach, and following the 2022–23 season the interim tag was removed.
In late July 2023 prior to the start of the 2023–24 season, the Black Bears announced a lease extension at least through the 2026–27 season. However, the lease allows the team to be replaced if an AHL or higher level professional sports team shows interest in replacing them.
On May 10, 2024, the Binghamton Black Bears won the Commissioner's Cup at home against the Carolina Thunderbirds. They became the third team in league history, and the first since 2013 to sweep the entire playoffs. It also marked the first time in Binghamton's 51 years of minor pro hockey in which a team won a championship on home ice.
Brooks Hill, the reigning, defending FPHL Broadcaster of the Year, enters his third season as the main play-by-play announcer for the Binghamton Black Bears, with new color commentator and Binghamton University student, Cole Parenti. They broadcast each game live on YouTube.
