Binghamton Flyers
The Binghamton Flyers were an American basketball team based in Binghamton, New York that was a member of the Eastern Professional Basketball League.
The Flyers originally began the 1967-68 season as the Bridgeport (Conn.) Flyers, but relocated to Binghamton after starting the season with a 1-11 record. The Flyers' top scorer in the 1967-68 season was Swish McKinney, who set a league record with 1,206 points in a 32-game season.
For the next two seasons, the Flyers guarded the Eastern League basement. Although the team began play for the 1970-71 season in Binghamton, a poor 1-6 start and dwindling home crowds forced the Flyers to relocate to Trenton, New Jersey to finish the year.
