[edit] History

Founded in 2001, the Dundee Texol Stars won the Findus British National League (FBNL) and the Playoffs in their first season (2001-02) and then ranked 2nd in the FBNL, top their playoff group and reached the semi-finals of the challenge cup the following season. Stars' third season was a disappointment with low league positions and only managed the final of the Capital Cup. Season 04-05 was disappointing for all three Scottish teams in the BNL (no longer sponsored by Findus). The National Cup, the Keyline Cup and the Challenge Cup were no better. However, the Stars won the Playoffs and fared well in the Caledonia Cup too.

Season 05-06 the BNL ended, Edinburgh Capitals were accepted into the Elite League but Stars refused to go if Fife Flyers were not allowed to join them. Fife's ice rink did not meet the Elite League standards and Flyers and Stars were relegated to the Scottish National League (SNL) and so had to sell or release all their imports. Fife won the SNL with Stars 3 points behind in 2nd. Flyers also won the Autumn Cup, the Northern League and the SNL Playoffs.

Season 06-07 introducted the NHL style Zero Tolerance rules and the one import rule making the SNL a more skillful league. The Stars have relied heavily on their junior development[citation needed] with many Under 19s and some Under 16s "playing up" as well as managing to secure the services of two of the "old" favourites, Jeff Marshall (Canada) and Patric Lochi (Italy).
