The Rockland Nationals (French: National de Rockland), colloquially known as the Nats, are a Junior A ice hockey team based in Clarence-Rockland. The Nationals compete in the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) as a member of the Yzerman Division. Since 2017, the team has played its home games at the Clarence-Rockland Arena, originally known as the CIH Arena.

Founded in 1968 as the Ottawa M&W Rangers, the team is the second CCHL franchise to use the Rockland Nationals name. The original Rockland Nationals played in the CCHL from 1973 to 1981 and have won both Bogart and Centennial Cups in 1976.

The current Rockland Nationals began play in 2017 after the Gloucester Rangers relocated to Clarence-Rockland after the 2016–17 season. The Nationals won the 2025 Bogart Cup Finals against the Carleton Place Canadians.


The Nationals have made it to the playoffs six times from the 2018–19 season to the 2024–25 season. As of the 2025–26 season, they are one of the most successful teams in the CJHL, and their arena has been well-attended during Nats home games.
