The Richmond Renegades were an ECHL ice hockey team in Richmond, Virginia that played from 1990-2003. The Renegades played at the Richmond Coliseum (which they marketed in later years as the Freezer) throughout their existence, and were succeeded there by the Richmond RiverDogs of the United Hockey League.

Beginnings
Though Richmond supported an AHL team for six seasons in the 1970s, professional ice hockey had been absent and mostly forgotten for nine years when Virginia Beach businessman Allan Harvie announced that he had secured an expansion team in the East Coast Hockey League for the 1990-91 season.
