Jacksonville Rockets

The Jacksonville Rockets were a professional team in Jacksonville, Florida. They played in the Eastern Hockey League from 1964-72.
They played as the Florida Rockets in the 1966-67 and 1967-68 seasons. The Rockets were losing a lot of money in Jacksonville and had started to play in other cities in the state. The name change was meant to reflect this. Even after the name was changed back to Jacksonville, the team continued to play some home games elsewhere, including six games at the Macon Coliseum in Macon, Georgia in 1968-69. Their first game at the Coliseum came on October 30, 1968, when they beat the Nashville Dixie Flyers 5-2.
The team finally folded in the middle of the 1971-72 season.
