As with all sports, there are additional costs associated with hockey. These include team fees, travel costs and equipment costs. The fees for these factors will vary greatly depending on age level, and the amount that your team travels.

The Rockets are proud to partner with the 47 Fund which provides families with financial assistance to offset the cost of hockey. Please see the link below if you are interested in applying for financial assistance from the 47 Fund.

The Rockets are one of the few clubs in the Saint Louis Area to have a state of the art training center.

At the Rockets Off Ice Facillity, 10U, 12U and 14U players engage in customized stick handling and shooting drills to sharpen their skills for when they are on the ice.
