Inkerman Rockets

History
The Inkerman Rockets were a junior team in the Ottawa District Hockey Association.

The Rockets were founded in 1942 by a local school teacher Lloyd LaPort.

The Ottawa and Cornwall region was quickly dominated by the small town team. The twins, Erwin & Edwin Duncan, along with Leo Boivin and the squad led the team to many successful matches. During their last years, the Rockets made a push for the Memorial Cup but lost to the Quebec City Citadels in the semi finals.

They folded on November 23, 1953. The team was playing in the New York-Ontario League.
