The Greater Pittsburgh Huskies Hockey Association was formed in 1997 to become the youth program at the Golden Mile Ice Center when its previous tenant moved to a new arena earlier that year.  The Huskies initially did not join the PAHL but then applied to do so in 2000 as part of a wave of new three new members joining the league that season to start the new century.

The Golden Mile Ice Center closed in 2003, but fortunately for the Huskies, the Valley Sports Complex opened that same year in nearby New Kensington.  So the Huskies relocated several miles north to that new rink, which eventually became titled the Pittsburgh Ice Arena in 2012.

The Huskies fell on some hard times in the late 2010s and into the early 2020s, shrinking to just one team for the 2022-23 season.  But when new ownership took over at Pittsburgh Ice Arena in 2022, considerable focus was placed on making the Huskies a stronger organization and fielding more teams.
