PEMBROKE – The New England Future Stars is currently amidst their final bye week of the season, taking time off in celebration of this fine nation and our neighbors to the north. All team’s will return to the ice the week of July 6, marking the start of the season’s final leg, which means the league’s annual All-Star and Championship Weekends are right around the corner.

With the addition of the Girls Varsity Division, the league’s annual All-Star festivities will now be held over two days, July 11 and 12, at the Raynham IcePlex. As has become customary, each level will have an All-Star Game featuring two teams of 17 players each made up of some of the best talent the league has to offer, and an NHL-style Skills Challenge, in which teams of four players from each NEFS squad will face off to settle the debate of who has the most talent?

The Squirt, Peewee and Bantam Divisions will start the weekend with their respective events on Saturday, with the Girls U14, Girls Varsity and Varsity Divisions on Sunday as follows:
