Thief River Falls Norskies

The Thief River Falls Norskies are a USA Hockey and Hockey Canada sanctioned team that was established in 2016 to play in the Superior International Junior Hockey League. The team is based out of the Ralph Engelstad Arena in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.

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 on the Norwegian heritage of northwestern Minnesota.

The team began play in the 2016–2017 season and plays out of the Ralph Engelstad Arena.
