The Northern Pikes were formed in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in early 1984.  After a decade of intense road life and non-stop travelling, 8 Juno awards, 4 Gold records and 1 Platinum record, the band elected to go on an indefinite hiatus, the Pikes played their final concert on July 2, 1993 in Fort Frances, Ontario.  Six years later, all original members reunited to assemble a greatest hits package for Virgin Records.  This meeting saw the release of a collection of old favorites and buried treasures, entitled Hits and Assorted Secrets.  It also led to a hugely successful Canadian tour in early 2000.   In 2012, the Northern Pikes were inducted into the Western Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
