The
Owen Sound North Stars are a defunct Canadian
Senior
box lacrosse team. The team played in the
City of Owen
Sound
, Ontario
, Canada and
participated in the Major Series
Lacrosse and the OLA
Senior B Lacrosse League. The North Stars were four-time
Presidents Cup
National Champions.
History
Founded in 1967, the Owen Sound North Stars became Owen Sound's
cornerstone for senior lacrosse. In 1951, the
Owen Sound Crescents won the
Mann Cup as National Senior Champions.
Although the experience was a great success, the price was too
great as the team forced to fold after winning the Mann Cup and had
to give up its top players. The team came back a year later, but
was not the same. They eventually dropped down to Senior B for a
couple seasons before ultimately folding.
For almost thirty years, the North Stars played hard and made their
fans proud at both the Senior A and Senior B level. Some seasons,
the North Stars played the entire regular season in Senior A just
to compete in the Senior B playoffs. Their biggest rival seems to
have been the
Fergus Thistles,
especially in the late years.
The North Stars won the Senior B league crown five times: 1979,
1980, 1989, 1990, and 1991. The North Stars were also
Presidents Cup National
Champions four times: 1979, 1980, 1989, and 1991. They were
National bronze medallists in 1990.
The team folded in 1995 after a series of dismal years at the Major
Senior level. In 2000, the
OLA Senior B Lacrosse League
was rebuilt and the following season Owen Sound came back to Senior
after six years of hibernation. The current incarnation of Owen
Sound senior lacrosse is the
Owen
Sound Woodsmen.
