The Tacoma Rockets were a junior ice hockey team in the Western Hockey League from 1991 to 1995. They played at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma Washington. The Rockets were granted as an expansion franchise but low attendance forced the team to move to Kelowna British Columbia after only four seasons where they became the Kelowna Rockets. While the Rockets drew good crowds when they played the Seattle Thunderbirds they did not draw as well with other teams.
