Duluth Huskies


The Duluth Huskies are an amateur baseball team playing in the Northwoods League, a collegiate summer baseball league. They have been operating in Duluth, Minnesota since 2003. The Huskies play home games at Wade Stadium in Duluth, which was built in 1941.

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. 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 and earning league MVP honors. 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. 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.
