Started playing as an expansion team in the 1988-89 season, and were called the Southeast Thunderbirds. They played out of the Notre Dame Arena in Winnipeg. The name was kept for three seasons before changing to the Southeast T-Birds for a season, then becoming the Blades for the 1992-93 season.

The Blades were granted a one year leave of absence for the 1996-97 season. The team returned, moving to the Sagkeeng Multiplex.

During the summer of 2007, the Blades were sold, relocating to Beausejour, and renamed the Beausejour Blades.
