History

During the 1986âÂÂ87 season, the North Stars became infamous for a completely winless 48-game season. During the stretch from the beginning of the 1985âÂÂ86 season to the end of the 1986âÂÂ87 season, the North Stars had 6 wins, 90 losses, and no ties. Over the two Seasons the Kildonan North Stars would set a record for the all time losing streak, 64 games without a point, passing the Regina Silver Foxes record of 58 losses from their 1975 season.
