History

Founded in 1980, the North Winnipeg Satelites found much success early on winning the league title five times (1983, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989) in the 80s. The Satelites went on to capture the Baldy Northcott Trophy four of five times. They would repeat the feat again in 2006. They would also finish in third place at the Keystone Cup in 1988 hosted in Saskatoon.

The team was a member of the Keystone Junior Hockey League until 2018. For the 2018–19 season the Satellites were one of five teams that departed the Keystone Junior Hockey League to establish the Capital Region Junior Hockey League.[1]
