The '''Cornwall Aces''' were the [[American Hockey League]] (AHL) affiliate of the [[National Hockey League]]'s [[Quebec Nordiques]] from 1993 to 1995 and the relocated [[Colorado Avalanche]] in 1995–96. They were based in the eastern Ontario city of [[Cornwall, Ontario|Cornwall]] and played at the Ed Lumley Arena inside the [[Cornwall Civic Complex]]. After one season being affiliated with Colorado, the franchise went dormant for three seasons, while the Avalanche transferred players to their other affiliate, the [[Hershey Bears]]. The franchise was resurrected in [[1999–2000 AHL season|1999]] as the [[Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins]].

The Cornwall Aces won two division titles during their three-year stay in Cornwall. Coaches were [[Bob Hartley]], who would coach the Colorado Avalanche, the [[Atlanta Thrashers]] and the [[Calgary Flames]] of the [[National Hockey League]], and [[Jacques Martin (ice hockey)|Jacques Martin]], former head coach of the [[National Hockey League|NHL]]'s [[Ottawa Senators]] and [[Montreal Canadiens]].
