Tampa Bay Lightning draft choice), Steve Mandes (U.S. National Team), E.J. Solomine (Boston University), and John Ralph (Jr. A USHL).

The original Rockets called the Totowa Ice Rink its home in the 70's, and the program later moved to Central Jersey's Bridgewater Sports Arena for the 1990-91 season.  The winning tradition was re-established through the the 1990's, bringing the regional and national recognition to the Rockets.  

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.  Since the new Millennium, there have been five consecutive appearances at the Nationals including: the 2000 Peewees, the 2001 Peewee Major National Champions, the 2002 Bantam Majors, the 2003 Midget Minors, the 2004 Junior B and 2005 Bantam Majors.
