The North Stars joined the AIHL in 2002, and since that time have been National Champions four times, in 2003, 2005, 2006 & 2008. Additionally, they have been Minor Premiers (1st in regular season) three times, in 2004, 2009 and 2010.

The North Stars gain excellent support from local media and sponsors, and have a consistently-high crowd attendance near the rink's capacity of 800 people.
