They played their home games at Goldsmith–Schiffman Field.[1] HistoryThe Rockets were founded as members of the Dixie Professional Football League in 1962.[3][4] The team played under the direction of head coach Tommy Lewis and line coach Dave Sington.[6] They earned a 17–1 record in their debut season.[7] In 1963, the team moved to the new Southern Professional Football League and Al "Monk" Romine took over as head coach.[8][9] The SPFL faltered in 1965 and the Rockets moved to the North American Football League (NAFL).[10] The Rockets played in the NAFL Southern Division from 1965 to 1966.[6] The other NAFL teams in 1965 were: Pennsylvania Mustangs, Annapolis Sailors, Wilmington Comets, Baltimore Broncos, Florida Brahmans, Mobile Tarpons, and Dayton Colts. The team struggled on the field and at the gate.[12] With 5 games left in the 1966 season, the Rockets' NAFL franchise was revoked in October 1966 for failure to pay money owed to the league.[12][14] LegacyThe NAFL became the Professional Football League of America (PFLA) in 1967.[1] What remained of the defunct Huntsville Rockets team formed the foundation for the formation of a new PFLA franchise, the Huntsville Hawks, for the 1967 season.[16][17][18] The PFLA merged with the larger Continental Football League in February 1968 and the team continued as the Alabama Hawks.[19][20] In 2012, a semi-professional Gridiron Developmental Football League team took their name as an homage to the original Huntsville Rockets.[21] References1. ^{{cite news |first=Robert |last=Markus |newspaper=Chicago Tribune |location=Chicago, IL |title=The Strange Life of a Gal Football Head |url=http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1968/11/10/page/383/article/chicago-hoots-for-the-owls-whoooooo |page=3-3 |date=August 31, 1967 |accessdate=March 8, 2015}} [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]2. ^1 {{cite news |first=Hap |last=Halbrooks |newspaper=TimesDaily |location=Florence, AL |title=Rockets Open Campaign Against Birmingham 11 |page=VIII-2 |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1842&dat=19620801&id=eh8sAAAAIBAJ&sjid=rsYEAAAAIBAJ&pg=1041,3435841 |date=August 1, 1962 |accessdate=October 13, 2014}} 3. ^1 {{cite news |first=Hap |last=Halbrooks |newspaper=TimesDaily |location=Florence, AL |title=Rockets Game Could Be Preview Of Shoals Club |page=II-4 |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1842&dat=19620823&id=eR8sAAAAIBAJ&sjid=rsYEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2222,5953831 |date=August 23, 1962 |accessdate=October 13, 2014}} 4. ^1 {{cite news |newspaper=TimesDaily |location=Florence, AL |title=Rockets And Daytona To Vie In Rematch Saturday |page=II-3 |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1842&dat=19621211&id=_hosAAAAIBAJ&sjid=nMYEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2439,4662783 |date=December 11, 1962 |accessdate=October 13, 2014}} 5. ^1 {{cite news |newspaper=TimesDaily |location=Florence, AL |title='Test Tube' For League: Rockets, Cherokees To Give All-Out Effort |page=10 |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1842&dat=19630722&id=rBMsAAAAIBAJ&sjid=mMYEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2896,2612476 |date=July 22, 1963 |accessdate=October 13, 2014}} 6. ^1 {{cite news |first=Hap |last=Halbrooks |newspaper=TimesDaily |location=Florence, AL |title=Rockets Must Improve To Rate With Elite This Campaign |page=8 |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1842&dat=19630728&id=rxMsAAAAIBAJ&sjid=mMYEAAAAIBAJ&pg=970,3311707 |date=July 28, 1963 |accessdate=October 13, 2014}} 7. ^1 {{cite news |agency=United Press International |newspaper=St. Petersburg Times |location=St. Petersburg, FL |title=Southern Pro Grid League Starts Tonight |page=1-C |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=888&dat=19630803&id=mOUlAAAAIBAJ&sjid=MVIDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5879,1404672 |date=August 3, 1963 |accessdate=October 13, 2014}} 8. ^1 2 {{cite news |first=Hap |last=Halbrooks |newspaper=TimesDaily |location=Florence, AL |title=Rockets Open Grid Drills In Huntsville |page=16 |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=9QYsAAAAIBAJ&sjid=m8YEAAAAIBAJ&pg=1718,4022097&dq=professional-football-league+huntsville&hl=en |date=June 4, 1964 |accessdate=May 10, 2010}} 9. ^1 {{cite news |first=Hap |last=Halbrooks |newspaper=TimesDaily |location=Florence, AL |title=Draft Threw Honors To Alabama |page=13 |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=7ScsAAAAIBAJ&sjid=vscEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5616,5402627&dq=professional-football-league+huntsville&hl=en |date=June 9, 1965 |accessdate=May 10, 2010}} 10. ^1 {{cite news |newspaper=Sarasota Journal |location=Sarasota, FL |title=Minor Pro Football Loops Are Merging |agency=Associated Press |page=33 |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=zhYfAAAAIBAJ&sjid=A4wEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3956,2603480&dq=professional-football-league+huntsville&hl=en |date=February 17, 1966 |accessdate=May 10, 2010}} 11. ^1 {{cite news |first=Bob |last=Chick |newspaper=St. Petersburg Independent |location=St. Petersburg, FL |title=Huntsville, Mobile Headed Out Of NAFL |page=16-A |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=950&dat=19661012&id=J8FaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=R1cDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7284,2057734 |date=October 12, 1966 |accessdate=October 13, 2014}} 12. ^1 2 {{cite news |first=Bob |last=Chick |newspaper=St. Petersburg Independent |location=St. Petersburg, FL |title=Huntsville's Dead, Buried |page=14-A |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=950&dat=19661018&id=LMFaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=R1cDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6120,3120933 |date=October 18, 1966 |accessdate=October 13, 2014}} 13. ^1 {{cite news |first=Ronnie |last=Thomas |newspaper=TimesDaily |location=Florence, AL |title=Will Huntsville Back Professional Football?
