History

After the 2002 Northern League season, the Duluth-Superior Dukes were relocated, becoming the Kansas City T-Bones, leaving a vacancy at Wade Stadium. [1] In time for the 2003 season, the Huskies were added as a Northwoods League expansion team, along with the La Crosse Loggers and Thunder Bay Border Cats.

Ethan Surowiec had a standout season for the Huskies in 2025, leading the league in many hitting categories (including home runs, RBI, and OPS) and earning league MVP honors. [2] Surowiec also garnered national attention for incident in which he fielded a ground ball as a baserunner on his way from second to third base. [3] Surowiec played for the Huskies after his freshman season at the University of Mississippi and transferred to the University of Florida to play for the Gators in his sophomore year.
