History
At 49° 47′ North, as of 2008 the Ice Dogs were the most northern Junior "A" team in Ontario, further North than the Abitibi Eskimos of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League. At the 2008-09 season, the Sioux Lookout Flyers joined the league and at 50° 06′ took over as Ontario's most northerly Junior hockey club.
The Ice Dogs are one of the SIJHL's charter teams, and have established a tradition as being one of the top teams in the league, having won the first ever league championship and posted finishes of at least third in the league in season play in all but one of their seasons to date.
The Ice Dogs play at the Dryden Memorial Arena, and have games broadcast on CKDR, Dryden's local radio station.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“The basic idea which runs right through modern history and modern liberalism is that the public has got to be marginalized. The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
