The Laval Rocket is a professional ice hockey team that plays in the American Hockey League (AHL). They are affiliated with the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL) and play their home games at the Place Bell in Laval, Quebec.
The Rocket was established in 2017, replacing the St. John's IceCaps as Montreal's AHL affiliate. The team was named after the historic rocket design used by the Canadiens in their logo. Despite being a relatively new team, the Rocket has quickly become a popular and successful franchise.
The Rocket's main rival is the Belleville Senators, with whom they compete in the North Division of the AHL. The two teams have a heated and intense rivalry due to the geographical proximity of their respective cities and the numerous games they play against each other each season.
In their short history, the Rocket has had some success on the ice. In the 2020-21 season, they finished in first place in the Canadian Division but playoffs were not held. The team's success has been attributed to their strong team play and the contributions of individual players to the team.
