NFE 1st
In 1994, frustrated
with the non-competitiveness of the
Everett Tramps, Tom Fischer and his
father Wes, built the Sky Valley
Vikings based out of Sultan, WA.
The original uniforms were from the
Cascade Eagles, a one-year venture in
the NWFL during the 1993 season.
The 1997 season saw
a name change to the Snohomish County
Vikings which Wes and Debbie Fischer
would cultivate into a region-wide
organization known for numerous
community events and charitable
activities.
The Vikings finally
broke through the playoff barrier in
1998 backing into a spot in the
Pacific Football League - North
playoffs on the heels of a 3-game
skid. Wes would be named Coach
of the Year following the first round
exit.
Fischer again was
tabbed Coach of the Year in 1999 when
the Vikings steamrolled into the
playoffs with a 9-1 record, only to
come up just short in the NWFL
Championship game losing 36-24 to the
Puget Sound Jets. QB Tom Nakane
earned NWFL Offensive MVP for
1999. 1999 would prove to be the
best season in franchise history and
the only 10-win season for the
Vikings.
Fischer would again
earn Coach of the Year honors in 2006
when he shared the honor with Jaguars
coach Jeff Scott. Place kicker
Larry Moody would earn NWFL Special
Teams MVP.
The Vikings would
make their first playoff appearance
since 1999 when they earned a spot in
the 2007 NWFL Playoffs, but were
dispatched rudely by the eventual
runner-up Oregon Thunderbolts 51-6.
In 2008 the NWFL
had declined to the point where the
Vikings joined the upstart
Professional Development Football
League along with the Oregon
Thunderbolts and two new teams, the
Tacoma Cobras and Bellingham Blitz for
the 2009 season.
The Vikings
struggled for 8 months to a 4-9 record
and dropped out of the PDFL for
2010. Starting the season off
2-2 including a win over the PDFL's
Thunderbolts, Snohomish canceled a
game with Tacoma when word leaked out
that the Cobras were in fact paying
some players or providing extra
benefits, an NCAA violation that could
strip eligibility from any players on
the Vikings roster looking at college
as a future.
The NWFL decided to
have a final game between the Bengals
and Vikings and winner would be
crowned Champion of the 3-team league
and the Vikings dispatched Pierce
County for the third time of the
season to finish 6-3 and give Wes
Fischer his first Championship in
franchise history.
2010
McAfee Commercial Filmed at Quest
Stadium
On June 24, 2017 the
Vikings traveled to Grays Harbor with 14
players. By the end of the game 11
were still able to play in the 93 degree
heat. For player safety the game
utilized a running clock and was called in
the 3rd quarter. This proved the end
of the Vikings franchise as external
pressures of more area teams had sapped
the number of players to unsustainable
numbers.
