The Northwoods League is a summer collegiate baseball league comprised of the top college players from across the nation and North America. All players in the league must have NCAA eligibility remaining in order to participate. Players are not paid (this preserves their NCAA eligibility).Each team is operated similar to a professional minor league team, providing players an opportunity to play under the same conditions using wooden bats, minor league specification baseballs, experiencing overnight road trips, and playing nightly before fans in a stadium.I spent the summer playing for the Duluth Huskies where I was fortunate to play with Division 1 athletes from across the nation, as well as compete in the NWL All-Star Game in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.www.northwoodsleague.com
