ice hockey

The Titans have finished with the best record
in the ECHL once in 2002, and have qualified for the playoffs for eight out of their twelve seasons to date. They won the league's Kelly Cup
championship in 2005.
The franchise played as the Trenton Titans from 1999-2007. From 2007-2011, the franchise played as the Trenton Devils. The franchise was renamed back to Trenton Titans for the 2011–12 ECHL season.
(NHL) and the Philadelphia Phantoms
(AHL) from 1999-2000 to 2006-07 and with the New York Islanders
(NHL) and the Bridgeport Sound Tigers
(AHL) from 1999-2000 to 2002-03, and again for the 2005-06 season.
Following the 2004–05 ECHL season, the Titans won the Kelly Cup
by defeating the Florida Everblades
, four games to two. Leon Hayward was named the MVP of the Kelly Cup Finals. Rick Kowalsky was Trenton's captain. After the season, head coach Mike Havilland was hired by the AHL
's Norfolk Admirals
. Assistant coach Ted Dent
was hired by the Columbia Inferno
.
In 2006, the New Jersey Devils
bought the Trenton Titans and the team became the ECHL
affiliate of the Devils for the 2006–07 season.http://web.archive.org/web/20061112143015/http://www.trentontitans.com/display_story.asp?sid=720&nt=1 The team still maintained their affiliation with the Flyers for that season only.
In 2007 the New Jersey Devils
announced that the Titans were changing their name to the Trenton Devils. This re-branding alienated fans in the Trenton area, many of whom were part of the Philadelphia Flyers' fan base. The name change and the team's lackluster record led to a significant decline in attendance, positioning Trenton at or near the bottom of the league in attendance. The only exception to this was on February 21, 2009, when the Trenton Devils retired former Titan Kelly Cup champion Scott Bertoli
's No. 19 in front of a crowd of 6,013 fans.
On July 6, 2011, the New Jersey Devils announced that the Trenton Devils would be suspending operations immediately, citing a desire to restructure their player development system to more closely mirror those of other NHL franchises (New Jersey was the only NHL team to wholly own its ECHL affiliate). Trenton had failed to qualify for the playoffs in three of the previous four seasons and had regularly posted league-low attendance numbers. Prior to the suspension of operations, the team lost $1.5 million during the 2010–11 ECHL season. Trenton Devils, LLC, a subsidiary of the New Jersey Devils, returned the franchise to the league and ceased operations.
The ECHL worked to find an new ownership group for the franchise, with the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers eager to affiliate with franchise and help in cross-promotion. The Flyers, however, were not interested in owning the ECHL franchise. Two weeks prior to the announcement of the Trenton Devils' suspension of operations, the ECHL registered the Trenton Titans name with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, with a logo description that was similar to the logo used by the Titans from 1999–2007. One week after the Devils suspended operations, a group of local fans began lobbying investors to restart the franchise under the Titans name.
. The team will remain in the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division and will play according to their original schedule for the 2011–12 ECHL season.
Former Titan all-time scoring leader Scott Bertoli, whose number 19 is the only one to be retired by the franchise, was named senior adviser of hockey operations for the team. Former Titans' general manager from 2001–05, Richard Lisk, rejoined the team and was appointed to be the franchise's president and CEO.
Former Titans defenseman and previous assistant coach during the Trenton Devils years Vince Williams was named head coach of the Titans on August 1, 2011.
NHL veteran and original Titan Todd Fedoruk
was named assistant coach on November 9, 2011.
