The Tacoma Rockets were a professional ice hockey team in Tacoma, Washington from 1946 to 1953. The team played in the Pacific Coast Hockey League from 1946 to 1952, which was renamed the Western Hockey League during the Rockets' final season of 1952–1953. The Rockets played at the Tacoma Ice Arena (also known as the Tacoma Ice Palace), which was constructed in 1946 for the team and had a capacity of 3,825 seats and up to 4,400 spectators with standing room.
The Rockets name was resurrected from 1991 to 1995 in the new major junior Western Hockey League, until the team's relocation to Kelowna, British Columbia.
