The North Middlesex Stars are a Junior ice hockey team based in Parkhill, Ontario, Canada. They play in the Provincial Junior Hockey League of the Ontario Hockey Association.
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. http://www.lfpress.ca/cgi-bin/publish.cgi?p=110984&x=articles&s=sport In the 2005âÂÂ06 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(SOJHL). 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.
In 2008-09, the Stars celebrated their fourth consecutive winning season with 25 victories and a 4th-place finish in the regular season. They would end up winning their conference and also win the OHA Cup, defeating the Dehli Travellers in 7 games.
In 2012, the Ontario Hockey Association approved the SOJHL's jump from Junior "D" to Junior "C". In 2016, the SOJHL would be merged into the Provincial Junior Hockey League (PJHL) and the Stars would play in the Yeck division. The Stars won the division in 2022, but would be swept by the Lakeshore Canadiens in the West Conference Finals.
