Laval Rocket Tickets
The Laval Rocket is one of the newer teams in the AHL, but members see themselves as part of a significant tradition. This can be seen in their motto, propulsé par l’histoire, which means "fueled by history." The Laval Rocket isn't just the farm team for an Original Six NHL team, the Montreal Canadiens. It's also located in a city that has a proud hockey history of its own. Laval was for many years home to junior hockey teams like the Laval National, Laval Voisins and the Laval Titan. Future NHL stars, including Mike Bossy and Mario Lemieux, played their junior hockey in this city. The arrival of the Laval Rocket is a way for the city to level up in terms of hockey and to continue the city's rich tradition with the sport. The Rocket played its first season in 2017-18, compiling a record of 24-32-0-7-3. Since then, the team has seen improvement and made exciting new signings.
