Philadelphia Rockets
April 19, 2020
The Philadelphia Rockets of 1946-1949 were a short-tenured and absolutely dreadful minor league hockey entry that played at the old Philadelphia Arena on Market Street. An earlier and separate Philadelphia Rockets franchise played at the Arena during the 1941-42 season. Both editions of the Rockets were members of the American Hockey League. The expansion Rockets of 1946-47 were perhaps the worst club in the AHL’s 80+ year history. They allowed 10 or more goals four times en route to a 5-52-7 record and a .133 winning percentage. The Rockets never had a winning campaign before mercifully going dark in 1949.
