History
The team was founded in 1992 as the Parkhill Stars. After only one season, the team name was changed to the North Middlesex Stars.
The early years were rough on the North Middlesex Stars. In the team's first thirteen seasons, only 2 years did they have winning records.
In the summer of 2005, the team was on the verge of implosion. The community came together and saved the team. Since the crisis, the Stars have found new life. In the 2005-06 season, they celebrated their third ever winning record. In the summer of 2006, the OHA Junior Development League dissolved and was replaced by the Southern Ontario Junior Hockey League. Since the formation of the SOJHL, the Stars have been a standout team. In 2006-07, they finished 3rd overall with 30 victories. In 2007-08, they finished 4th overall with 27 victories. And in 2008-09, the Stars celebrated their fourth consecutive winning season with 25 victories and a 4th place finish in the regular season.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“In history the great moment is, when the savage is just ceasing to be a savage, with all his hairy Pelasgic strength directed on his opening sense of beauty;—and you have Pericles and Phidias,—and not yet passed over into the Corinthian civility. Everything good in nature and in the world is in that moment of transition, when the swarthy juices still flow plentifully from nature, but their astrigency or acridity is got out by ethics and humanity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
