Syracuse, New York
2007 National Tournament Results - Game Summaries
Opening the tournament the Stars faced the two time reining national champion Sabres of Shattuck St. Mary's; their first meeting since Shattuck defeated the Stars back in the 2005 national title game. Into the third period the Stars battled in a scoreless deadlock before Shattuck tallied to take the only lead the Sabres would need. The game would remain 0-1 until later in the period when Shattuck found the back of the net a second time. An empty net goal against the obstinate Stars rounded out the scoring. Final score, 0-3. Shattuck St. Mary’s went on to sweep the balance of the competition and capture a third consecutive national championship.

The second game opponent was Belle Tire whom as Honeybaked the Stars had eliminated from three prior national championship tournaments. This year was Belle Tire's revenge as they took advantage of a Stars squad who had expended considerable effort the previous day. Despite the Stars continued goaltending heroics, and down only 1-2 midway through the contest, Belle Tire’s persistent pressure took its toll on the tiring Stars. Final score, 1-4. Belle Tire lost in overtime to Shattuck St. Mary's in the semifinals.

The loss to Belle Tire combined with a 1-1 tie between the Washington Pride and Assabet Valley found the Stars entering their third game against the Pride playing only for pride. The Stars subsisted through a scoreless first period and took its first lead of the tournament on a goal midway into the second. However, the Pride came back with a shorthanded equalizer and then took the lead in the last minute of the period on a power play tally. The third period brought flurries of action in both ends as the Stars gained some momentum, yet it was the Pride who scored the lone goal of the period. Final score, 1-3. Washington lost in the semifinals in a rematch with Assabet Valley.

Winterlude Showcase Results

Kanata, ON, Feb. 4-5 - In nearly every tournament this year the Stars have been on the verge of greater success only to fall just so short. The Winterlude Showcase was no exception. Two third period leads against the eventual finalist Bluewater Hawks were not enough as the Hawks tallied a shorthanded game-winning goal with just eight seconds remaining in the game. The Stars, having won its other two games, then lost the opportunity to advance to the semi-finals on a tiebreaker. Throughout the tournament the Stars displayed the puck control, defensive effort, goaltending, and scoring chances it takes to win so its time is coming.

RI Panther Tournament Results

Kingston, RI, Nov. 26-29 - Opening the tournament with a 2-2 tie against NAHA turned out to be all there was between an otherwise unblemished Stars and the championship game. Syracuse twice held one goal leads which proved insufficient as the Winter Hawks came back to knot the score. The Stars completed the tournament undefeated with a record of 3-0-1.

CT Polar Bear Tournament Results

Newington, CT, Dec. 27-29 - A stingy defense that surrendered a meager 3 goals in 4 games was not enough as the Stars could not find the scoring needed - albeit not from a lack of opportunities - to advance from round-robin play. An opening 0-1 loss and a come from behind 1-1 tie in the final game bookended two impressive wins giving the Stars an overall record of 2-1-1 for the tournament.

Concord, MA, Oct. 29-31 - The goaltending held strong until the rest of the team could raise its level of play from some all too characteristic slow starts and the Stars finished the tournament with one win and two ties including a 2-2 draw with the 2004 national runner-up, Assabet U19 Red. Although undefeated, the single win was not sufficient for the Stars to gain a semi-final berth.

Fire-On-Ice Finalist
Fire-On-Ice 2004

With the Stars pressing for the equalizer, NAHA tallied the final marker with just 2:18 remaining in the game to secure a final 3-1 victory.
