10-23-08: We're Back...
Due to some unforseen circumstances things were delayed regarding the updating of the website this year. After all, this is a one man operation. Look for a newly redesigned ArmyHockeyFan.com sometime after the first of the year. Updates to the current site should be completed within the next week. Army looked solid and played well against Hockey East's Merrimack despite losing 1-0 in the season opener. The lone goal was scored after deflecting off a couple skate blades and then getting by netminder Josh Kassel. The Black Knights outshot Merrimack 44-22 in the game. Twelve players have graduated from last season's Atlantic Hockey championship team leaving this season's squad heavy laden with freshman. The Black Knight's open their Atlantic Hockey league season on the road against UConn on Friday, October 24th.

1-11-07: It's Official - RMC GAME CANCELLED!...
The annual RMC-Army game has officially been cancelled after many attempts at salvaging the game. The historic rivalry has come to an end. The Army ticket office will be offering ticket exchanges to other sporting events for pre-purchased tickets to the Feb. 10th game scheduled to be played at Tate Rink.
1-6-07: Army-RMC Game Off? Say It Ain't So...
According to an article published on Dec. 27th in the Middletown, NY, Times Herald Record newspaper the annual RMC/Army hockey game, considered the oldest continuous rivalry in college sports, is in real danger of being called off, perhaps permanently. Coach Brian Riley told the newspaper that the game scheduled for Feb. 10th at West Point will not be played, RMC has league games against Toronto and Ryerson scheduled for the weekend of Feb. 9th and 10th. Apparently the long time RMC practice of dressing non traditional players (Canadian military players, not actual RMC cadets) for the game has reached a breaking point. Former RMC coach Danny McLeod was quoted as saying "This, I think we had to 'fess up to...". McLeod also stated the RMC commandant was not aware of the practice and had taken steps to correct it. Riley was quoted as saying "Bottom line, the schedule has been made for ten years, the whole matter has come to a head. It's just a difference in philosophy - in my eyes it's not cadet vs. cadet anymore. It's disappointing, but who knows? We'll get together to see if we can iron some things out." Former Army hockey coach Jack Riley has been named to a committee along with McLeod that will attempt to save the game. A letter has been sent from the RMC Commandant to the West Point Superintendant requesting a meeting to attempt to resolve the situation. The RMC-Army game is always a sell out at Tate Rink. Lets hope your RMC tickets don't become a ticket to a game never played.
