History

The Stars were announced after the Spring Draft in May 2011. The Stars were a new team in Vaughan, after the Vaughan Wild moved and became the Lefroy Wave.[1]

On September 10, 2011, the Stars played their first game. The game was on the road against the Toronto Canada Moose, in Thornhill, Ontario, and the Stars won 4-2.

The Stars began the season with an outstanding 11-4-1 record, good enough for sixth place in the league. Every season the GMHL holds a prospects tournament in Elliot Lake that is mandatory for the top seven teams in the league, in 2011 from November 22 until 24. On November 21, the Stars informed the league that they were refusing to travel to the tournament at the last moment. The league warned the Stars of disciplinary action. The Stars defaulted their November 25 game against the Lefroy Wave and November 26 game against the Bradford Rattlers.

On November 28, 2011, the league's owners voted and chose to revoke the membership of the Stars from the league and placed all its players on free agent status. This is the first and only time a team in the GMHL has been stripped of its franchise.

gollark: And inconsistent.
gollark: But... Google is hiring some of the smartest programmers around, can they *not* make a language which is not this, well, stupid? Dumbed-down?
gollark: It has some very nice things for the cloud-thing/CLI tool/server usecase; the runtime is pretty good and for all garbage collection's flaws manual memory management is annoying, and the standard library is pretty extensive.
gollark: I'm not entirely sure what the aim is - maybe they originally wanted to go for highly concurrent systems or something, but nowadays it seems to mostly be used in trendy cloudy things, servers, command line utilities, that sort of thing.
gollark: I think my use cases are nice usecases, and I think it has flaws even in the domains it seems to be targeted at.
