The Lethbridge North Stars won three consecutive Junior ‘A’ Men’s Provincial Championships in 1963, 1964 and 1965. They were comprised totally of “home grown” talent.

In the three years that this team would attend Provincial Championships, they would compile a record of 11 wins and 2 losses. In 1964, they went undefeated at the Provincial level outscoring the opposition 42 – 8. Unfortunately, the North Stars were not able to advance past the Provincial Champions as there were no Canadian or Western Junior ‘A’ Men’s Championships at the time.

The North Stars were a team of players that were quite simply ahead of their time. Had they developed as a team a little later in life, they could have represented Lethbridge and Alberta at numerous Western Canadian Championships.
