About the Minot Hot Tots & Honeybees
The Minot Hot Tots began play in 2023 and quickly became one of the most exciting teams in the Northwoods League (NWL) — the largest organized baseball league in the world, featuring 25 teams and producing over 300 MLB players. In their first three seasons, the Hot Tots made history as the first team to sell out Corbett Field since the 1990s, including 20 sold-out games in 2025. In 2025 the Hot Tots brought home multiple League Awards including Team Member of the Year, Theme Night of the Year, and Great Plains TV Broadcaster of the Year.
In 2024, the Minot Honeybees joined the league as one of four inaugural teams in the NWL’s first-of-its-kind summer collegiate softball league. In 2025 the Honeybees brought home many League Awards including Organization of the Year, Executive of the Year, Team Member of the Year, and TV Broadcaster of the Year.
Both teams bring the mission of “Fun Done Differently” to life every season. Interns will gain hands-on experience supporting both organizations — learning, creating, and growing in a fast-paced, fun, and community-driven sports environment.
