It operated from 1999 to 2006. On May 24, 2001, Minnesota Vikings receiver Randy Moss suited up for one game with the ValleyDawgs, scoring seven points in a 113-112 victory over the Long Island Surf.[1] In 2006, former Survivor contestant Gervase Peterson became a co-owner of the team.[2] However later that year, after encountering financial difficulties, the team folded and was replaced by the Albany Patroons. The ValleyDawgs won the USBL championship in 2004. In 2003, the team won the USBL's Eastern Division Finals but lost in the USBL Championship Series.
