History

The Norskies were founded in 2016 by a group of local investors that included former National Hockey League player Tim Bergland. The team name was chosen following a contest in local elementary schools and confirmed by the ownership group as it reflects the Norwegian heritage of northwestern Minnesota.[1][2]

The team began play in the 2016–17 season with home games at Ralph Engelstad Arena.[3]
