The franchise was originally the Capital District Islanders from 1990-1993. They then became the Albany River Rats from 1993-2010, until the River Rats were sold to MAK Hockey, LLC, led by Michael Kahn. The new ownership relocated the team to Charlotte for the 2010-11 season, renaming the franchise the "Charlotte Checkers", and relinquished the ECHL franchise to the league
