Philadelphia Stars

Active 1934–1948 · 201 players · 6 Hall of Famers

A defunct franchise with no continuous modern successor. Its players are attributed here to Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia Stars itself. A season counts here only when Philadelphia Stars is the one club whose recorded span covers it — 35 contested seasons are credited to nobody rather than double-counted. 38 of 201 players on this roster carry a measurable VAL.
