The Vaughan Stars were a Junior ice hockey team based in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. They played in the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League.
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. Jim Aldred became head coach of the Stars, who played home games at Canlan Ice Sports at York University.
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.

On November 21, the Stars informed the league that they were refusing to travel to the tournament at the last moment.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Vaughan Stars” as ice hockey team in Ontario, Canada. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as ice hockey team in Ontario, Canada. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7917322. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2011.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
