Detroit Stars
Active 1920–1937 · 163 players · 4 Hall of Famers
A defunct franchise with no continuous modern successor. Its players are attributed here to Detroit Stars itself — never folded into an unrelated modern club, which would fabricate a lineage that never existed. See the full index of lost clubs.
Mount Rushmore
The four largest measured careers at this club, by StatVault VAL attributed to Detroit Stars itself. A season counts here only when Detroit Stars is the one club whose recorded span covers it — 38 contested seasons are credited to nobody rather than double-counted. 44 of 163 players on this roster carry a measurable VAL.
