Jay Romano was one of the original Northstars players. His was one of four teams to first put on a Northstars uniform and play AAU basketball in the State of Connecticut.
Jay was a skilled and tough competitor but it wasn't what happened on the court that was so important to him, it was the friends he made and the relationships he forged during those early years of Connecticut Northtars AAU basketball.
Jay and the Northstars traveld all across America from Boston and New York to Philadelphia and Providence, and beyond. The Northstars played in National Tournaments in Las Vegas, Floridat, Virginia, Tennessee and Jay was even on one of three Northstars teams to first venture across the Atlantic to represent America internationally in Barcelona, Spain.
Jay rarely remembered the scores or who won the games, but he loved and never forgot the laughter, the joy and the friendships that came his way through the game of basketball. He often said those times were the best times of his life and he remembered them fondly.
Jay died tragically in a car accident at the age of 26. He never had the chance to see a child of his own put on a uniform or dribble a basketball, but we can carry his spirit on with every bounce of the ball or whoosh of the nets. That's where Jay Romano lives on....and in the memories of those who knew and loved him.
