History

The Norskies were established in 2016 through the efforts of local investors, including former National Hockey League player Tim Bergland. The team's name, "Norskies," was selected through a contest in nearby elementary schools. The ownership group chose this name as it pays homage to the Norwegian heritage in northwestern Minnesota.[1][2]

Competing from the 2016–2017 season onwards, the team hosted their home games at the Ralph Engelstad Arena. The competition marked the beginning of their journey in the ice hockey scene.[3]

The team were a casualty of the COVID-19 pandemic.
