Who We Are
New Jersey Rockets
The Rockets Hockey Club has become the most successful organization in the Metropolitan New York area, dating back to its inception in 1970. The Rockets have won national championships and produced several great players who achieved fame in prep schools, college, and at the professional level, including Jeremy Roenick and Brian Mullen. Recent participants of the program who have gone on to excel at the NCAA level are John Sabo (Boston University Captain), Chris Swon (Brown University), Art Feminella (the University of Vermont and NHL Tampa Bay Lightning draft choice), Steve Mandes (U.S. National Team), E.J. Solomine (Boston University), and John Ralph (JUSHL). Former Rockets Junior defenseman John Carlson is currently patrolling the blue line for the NHL's Washington Capitals, having been their first-round pick in the 2008 NHL Draft.
Founded in 1970
The Rockets, originally based at the Totowa Ice Rink in the 1970s, later found a new home at Central Jersey's Bridgewater Sports Arena in the 1990-91 season. This move marked a new chapter in our journey, re-establishing our winning tradition and bringing regional and national recognition to the Rockets. Our success is not just ours but a testament to the support and love we have received from our community.
The on-ice successes have been numerous, culminating in championships at the Atlantic Youth Hockey League regular season and playoff Championships across every division, numerous New Jersey Youth Hockey League championships, as perennial qualifiers for the USA Hockey's National Championships and the prestigious Silver Sticks.
The Rockets' accomplishments are a reflection of the unwavering commitment and relentless pursuit of excellence by our coaches. We are dedicated to competitive regular and post-season play, striving to be at the forefront of the region's most competitive league and the Atlantic District. Our commitment to the sport and our players is unwavering, ensuring that we continue to make a significant impact in the world of hockey.
