In 2006 the Seahawks was one of four founders of the Polish American Football League and in the first season made their first appearance in the national championship game, the Polish Bowl, in 2006, but lost the game to the Warsaw Eagles.[1] In 2008 they lost the Polish Bowl again to the Eagles.[2] In 2009 the team makes his first appearance at the EFAF Challenge Cup.
