There have been two separate and distinct baseball teams based out of Winnipeg to use the Goldeyes name, each playing in different incarnations of the Northern League. They first played from 1954 until 1964. During that time they won the league championship 3 times in 1957, 1959, and 1960.

The team was resurrected in 1994 when the Rochester Aces folded and moved to Winnipeg. It was decided the team would take on the name of the former Winnipeg team in honor of the past. The current team is owned by Sam Katz. Katz was elected mayor of Winnipeg in 2004, and remains President of the Goldeyes. The team is one of the most successful in the Northern League, despite missing the playoffs in 2004 for the first time since the team commenced operations, and again missing the playoffs in 2005. In 1994 they won their only Northern League championship.

With the departure of the St. Paul Saints, Sioux City Explorers and Sioux Falls Canaries to the breakaway American Association, the Goldeyes are now the longest tenured franchise in the Northern League.

The Goldeyes are not the only team to have played in the Northern League from Winnipeg. From 1902-1942 the city was represented by the Winnipeg Maroons.
