Welcome to Rhode Island’s Glorious Slice of Professional Hockey History

The RI Reds Heritage Society welcomes you to a history of the Providence Reds, fondly known locally as the Rhode Island Reds for over a half century. Our Society was organized in 2000 by Buster Clegg, a former GM of the team. We are dedicated to researching, collecting, preserving, and sharing historical information related to the team by rekindling the pioneering and influential history and triumphs of the Reds and its players while also creating a pathway for future generations to understand the roots for our state’s incredible passion for the game.

History

From its very beginnings, the Providence franchise was one of the best in hockey.  For 51 years, the Reds and their players provided fans with more thrills, heartaches and championships than most other organizations in pro hockey.

Hall of Fame

As just one measure of the quality of play our region’s fan base enjoyed over the years the Reds reigned, of the more than 600 players who donned their uniform, 85 have been inducted into more than 110 Halls of Fame.

Heritage Shop

Our Heritage Society is pleased to offer a variety of Reds hats, hoodies, polos and collectibles for fans to proudly show their support and evoke memories of the team that dominated the RI sports pages for most of the 20th century.
