From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New England Stars were a North Eastern Hockey League (NEHL) team based in Danbury, Connecticut who started play at the end of 2006. The team was formed to occupy the Danbury Trashers place in the Danbury Ice Arena, after the Trashers folded due to involvement in illegal business, see Danbury Trasher Controversy. They were by far the most successful team in the 2006-07 season, going undefeated as of March 18th, 2007. Their superiority against the rest of the league was tested on March 18th when they played against an all-star team made up of the best players on the other three NEHL teams. However, they lost respectively in the game three goals to four after a disputed goal by the All-Stars that was allowed due to the lack of an instant replay. They would finish the regular season 20-0.
[edit] 2006-2007 Season
The New England Stars swept the two game championship series 2-0 to finish the season an astounding 22-0 (not including the loss in the all-star game). While the Stars appear to have a strong team, their games were attended by less and less fans as the season went on, therefore, they will not return to Danbury in 2007-08.
