History
The Yellowknife Huskies were a hockey team formed in 1975 to play hockey in the North Peace Hockey League (NPHL). It was hoped that the team's involvement in the NPHL would evolve into a varied program of hockey and result in the construction of a new Capital Recreation and Leisure Centre. The Huskies played one season (1975-1976) in the NPHL during which time they organized a series of fund raising efforts to finance their participation in the NPHL. In November of 1976, the Directors of the Yellowknife Huskies voted to suspend operations due to a lack of support.
