History

Established in 2012, the North Stars were originally managed by Joe Bergquist. The first head coach was Brian Henrichs. The first victory in franchise history came in their ninth league game, a 3-2 win over the Alexandria Blizzard on October 19, 2012.
After two seasons and just 12 victories, Henrichs was replaced by Jeff Worlton, a former minor league player and head coach in the North American Hockey League. In 2016, Worlton would be hired mid-season by the North American Hockey League's Kenai River Brown Bears and assistant coach Josh Dallman would take over as head coach. At the end of the 2015–16 season, Dallman would also leave to work for Worlton again in Kenai and the North Stars would hire Jon Jonasson, former head coach of the Helena Bighorns, as head coach for 2016–17. Jonasson left after one season and was replaced by DJ Vold.
