The Downriver Stars were a minor professional ice hockey team based in Trenton, Michigan, that played in the All-American Hockey League.
The Stars were rebranded the Michigan Stars for the 1987–88 AAHL season, but after 14 games and a 2–12 record, the team folded midseason on November 30, 1987.[1] As a result, Joe Selenski, John Daley, and Henry Brabham established the Johnstown Chiefs that started play in January 1988 to replace the Stars.[2]
