History

After the 1993 APSL season, the Toronto Blizzard folded and were replaced by the North York Rockets, who had played in the Canadian National Soccer League.[1][2] This edition of the Rockets's roster was a combination of the 1993 Rockets and Toronto Blizzard, with players coming from both squads.

The Rockets finished in last place with a 5-15 record, as well as the worst attendance in the league, drawing in fewer than 1500 fans per match.[1] The club had planned to return for the 1995 season, but withdrew only days before the start of the 1995 season,[1] due to a financial dispute with the league's front office.[3]
