When the NAHL folded in 1977 the Firebirds, along with the Broome Dusters, joined the then struggling American Hockey League. The Firebirds played all five seasons in Philadelphia (three NAHL and two AHL seasons) at Convention Hall, which has since been torn down. The Firebirds were affiliated with the NHL Detroit Red Wings in 1977–78 and the Colorado Rockies in 1978–79. Following the 1979 season, the franchise moved to Syracuse, NY where the club played one final season as the Syracuse Firebirds before folding.
