History
Rock City Hockey originated in March 2014 as the "Lake Erie Benders." In 2018, the program rebranded as the Rock City Steel Kings. The name "Rock City" is a tribute to Cleveland, Ohio, the birthplace of the term Rock and Roll, as coined by Disk Jockey Allen Freed in the 1950s, and the home of the legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. "Steel Kings" pays homage to the hardworking men and women of Cleveland and the city's long legacy as one of the largest steel manufacturing hubs in the United States, dating back to the late 1800s.
