OK nick, you have written a story that uses the term “Pocket Rocket,” that doesn’t reveal the origin of the term.
Maurice Richard, a Montreal Canadiens star player was called, “Rocket Richard.”
When his younger brother, Henri, started to play in the NHL, he was called the “Pocket Rocket.”
Too not give that reference is a slight on two great Hockey stars.

It is sad that any athlete dies but, in paying tribute, let’s credit the origin of the term! She was not the first, “pocket rocket.”
Straighten up, man.
And, I didn’t mention the “vest pocket rocket,” did I?

The people you mentioned are from a different sport, different continent and hemisphere and in time by sevaral decades. Absolutely no connection to this situation.
