The New Jersey Rockets youth hockey organization was formed in 1970 to serve as a local developmental program. The club later reached an arrangement with the
New Jersey Devils of the
NHL for the use of the
Meadowlands Arena and later the
Prudential Center. In the early part of the 21st century,the Rockets expanded their footprint with the addition of a junior franchises to both the
Metropolitan Junior Hockey League and the
Atlantic Junior Hockey League (AJHL). This team was a founding member of the AJHL was it was organized in 2004. When the AJHL merged with the
Eastern Junior Hockey League in 2013, the Rockets then became founding members of the successor league, the
Eastern Hockey League. In 2016, the MJHL franchise withdrew and joined the EHL's Elite (lower) division. One year later, New Jersey left the EHL and joined the rival United States Premier Hockey League as that league was creating a new, Tier II league. When the Rockets joined the USPHL, their existing Tier III club joined the Premier Division (also Tier III) while the former Elite club joined the USPHL's Elite Division. The organization founded a separate Tier II franchise which began play in the National Collegiate Development Conference (NCDC) that same year. The entire organization rebranded as the Rockets Hockey Club in 2019. The organization previously fielded a team at the Tier III former Junior B level in the
Metropolitan Junior Hockey League (MJHL) and in the EHL-Elite Division. The organization also fields a women's team in the New England Women's Junior Hockey League (NEWJHL), and youth hockey select teams at the Midget U18, Midget 16U, Bantam, Peewee, and Squirt and Mite levels and girls teams at the U14, U16, and U19 levels. ==Season-by-season records==
