The Miners entered the semi pro world as a new team
in 2005, the first year of the Evergreen Football League. A good
start had the Miners near the top of the league with a 4-1 record and
hard fought overtime victory over the Tri City Knights (the previous
seasons 11-0 Tri City Rattlers), before a skid ended in disappointment
and a 5-5 record. 2006 was rough ride finishing 2-6 before
rebounding for the franchises' first winning season in 2007.
Many battles with cross-border rival Spokane
culminated in a 28-18 win in 2008 starting a 2 game win streak to end
the season.
In 2009 the Miners and their rival SaberCats
combined forces to become the Spokane Wolfpack.
