History

edit

The Longlac Merchants were founded in 1996 and were original members of the North of Superior Junior B Hockey League.

After joining the NSHL in 1996, the Longlac Merchants did not enjoy much success. In 1998, the team changed their name to the Northern Wildcats but their statistics continued to dwindle. They folded in 2002, leaving the NSHL with the Wawa Travellers, Marathon Renegades, and the Aguasabon River Rats.
