(Oregon Surge)

Quietly plugging away despite limited success on the field over the years, the Cascade Surge franchise has been one of the constants in the Northwest Division of the Premier Development League. Founded as the Oregon Surge in the Pro League in 1995, the team finished its inaugural season with a postseason appearance at 14-6.

As the region developed, the team joined the PDL in 1997, making the playoffs for a second time with an 8-8 record before enduring a four-year postseason drought. In 2002, the Surge ended the playoff absence with a 9-9 record. They improved to 11-5-2 in 2003 and made the playoffs for the third straight year in 2004 with an 11-4-1 mark, winning their division for the first time in team history.
