ARMY HOCKEY NOTEBOOK ARMY HOCKEY ON NATIONAL TELEVISION For the eighth-straight season, the Army hockey team will appear on national television. CBS College Sports Television will broadcast the Army at Air Force contest on Friday, Jan. 14, 2011, from the Cadet Ice Arena. The contest will begin at 8:05 p.m. Eastern time. CLASSROOM SUCCESS Army not only qualified for the postseason on the ice last year. The Black Knights also had success in the classroom as well. Eighteen players, or 66.67% of the roster, made the dean’s list during the 2009-10 Academic Year, the most of the Academy’s 25 NCAA sports. Goalie Jay Clark was a third-team Academic All-American and Army had 17 players selected to the Academic Team by the Atlantic Hockey Association. To be eligible, players must have at least a 3.0 grade-point average in both semesters. In all, Army has had 68 selections to the Academic Team. ARMY HOCKEY MULTI-MEDIA Once again, Army will offer an aggressive multi-media schedule. All home games will be broadcast live on www.goARMYsports.com through the ITT Knight Vision subscription package. For the third straight year One Networks (formerly B2) will also offer streaming video of all Atlantic Hockey Association games through its subscription based package. ARMY SPORTS HALL OF FAME HAS A HOCKEY FEEL On Oct. 1, 2004, the Army Athletic Association opened the Kenna Hall of Army Sports and the Army Sports Hall of Fame, inducting its very first class of 16 former Black Knight athletes and coaches who reached the pinnacle of their respective sport. Among that group of 16 were two representatives of Army’s storied hockey program. Legendary head coach Jack Riley and former defenseman Pete Dawkins were among those in the inaugural group. Dave Rost, Class of 1977, was inducted a year later and David Merhar was chosen in 2006. George Clark and John Boretti are the latest inductions, earning the honor with the Class of 2008. Riley coached the Black Knights for 36 years, the longest coaching tenure in NCAA hockey history, racking up 542 wins at West Point and retiring as the second winningest head coach in the NCAA. He was twice named “Coach of the Year” and guided the 1960 U.S. Olympic Team to the gold medal. Dawkins, better known for his exploits on the football field where he won the Heisman Trophy in 1958, played defense for Riley’s Black Knights and retired as the school’s all-time scoring leader among defensemen with 96 points. Rost is the Black Knights’ all-time leading scorer. The Buffalo, N.Y., native scored more points (330) than any NCAA hockey player past or present and was an All-East selection his senior season at West Point. The fourth hockey legend, Merhar, ’69, was enshrined in 2006. Merhar authored an incredible season in 1968-69, scoring 57 goals and dishing out 50 assists in just 28 games. He still ranks among the Black Knights’ leaders in all scoring categories on season and career levels, despite graduating nearly 40 years ago. Clark holds the Academy record for career goals (153), is 10th in assists (117) and is the third all-time leading scorer with 266 points. He was a two-time All-American, the only Black Knights skater to earn the honor twice and has a seven-goal game (against Wesleyan on Feb. 5, 1975) among his many accolades. Boretti was a three-sport standout, competing in soccer and baseball in addition to hockey. A defenseman, he scored seven goals and 20 assists in 75 games. The Class of 2009 has a hockey presence as well. Ralph Chesnauskas was a senior captain and defenseman who scored seven points with four goals and three assists for coach Riley. He also won three letters in baseball and was an All-American football player.
HEADING TO COLORADO The annual Army and Air Force series will take place this season in Colorado Springs, Colo., at the U.S. Air Force Academy. The Falcons knocked Army out of the playoffs last season by winning a quarterfinal series. The two-game set will be played Jan. 14 and 15, 2011. Friday’s game will start at 8:05 p.m. Eastern time to accommodate a national broadcast by CBS College Sports Network, while Saturday’s contest will begin at 7:05 p.m. Eastern. WEST POINT CONNECTIONS Three hockey players are following in their father’s footsteps as West Point graduates. Junior Pat Ryan’s father, Jack, is a 1970 graduate of the Academy and his older brother, Will, is a member of the Class of 2009. Senior Joey Ammon’s father, Craig, is a 1984 USMA graduate while Bill Day’s father, Tom, is a member of the Class of 1978. AHA EXPANSION/NEW PLAYOFF FORMAT The addition of Robert Morris and Niagara to the league means a tweak to the schedule and playoff format. The league will utilize regional schedules in the East and West with teams playing in-region squads three times and those in the other region twice. Army is joined in the East by Canisius, Sacred Heart, Holy Cross, Bentley, Connecticut and American International. The West is comprised of RIT, Mercyhurst, Air Force, Niagara and Robert Morris. The 2011 Tournament will feature the same ® format from a year ago with a slight twist. There will be four first round, single game contests on Saturday, March 5. The top two teams in each scheduling region will receive a bye into the quarterfinals with the remaining eight teams playing first-round contests. Those eight teams will be seeded 3-6 in their scheduling region with the No. 3 seed hosting the No. 6 seed and the No. 5 seed traveling to the No. 4 seed. The winners will then be re-seeded by the final regular season standings with the top four teams playing host to the bottom four teams in a best two-outof-three quarterfinal series the following weekend. The four winners will then travel to the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, N.Y., with the highest remaining seed taking on the lowest remaining seed in the first semifinal with the other two remaining seeds squaring off in the second semifinal on Friday, March 18. The two semifinal winners will then face-off in the Championship Game on Saturday, March 19 with the NCAA automatic berth on the line. COACHES POLL The Army hockey team was picked to finish ninth in the newly expanded Atlantic Hockey Association according to a vote of league head coaches. Atlantic Hockey has added Robert Morris and Niagara and is now a 12-team conference. RIT, which advanced to the Frozen Four a year ago, was picked first in the league with eight first-place votes, followed by Mercyhurst which had two and Air Force. Robert Morris collected the final two first-place votes and was tied in the poll with Niagara. Canisius, Sacred Heart, Holy Cross, Army, Bentley, Connecticut and American International round out the rankings. TO THE BEACH Army will open the 2010-11 season at a familiar vacation spot, Cade Cod. The Black Knights will face Colgate on Oct. 9 in the inaugural Cape Cod Classic in Hyannis, Mass., at the Hyannis Youth and Community Center. Cape Cod is home to legendary hockey coach Jack Riley, the father of current Army coach Brian Riley, and a frequent vacation spot for the family. Colgate will serve as the home team.

HOCKEY ALUMNI Each year, the Army Hockey Association holds a golf tournament at the West Point Golf Course, a dinner and alumni game, allowing former players a chance to re-connect, players of different generations to gather and a chance to re-tell stories and pass along the proud traditions of West Point and Army hockey. This year’s event was among the best attended as hundreds of former players, administrators, friends, fans and supporters turned out to celebrate the 90th birthday of former coach Jack Riley. A spirited alumni game with specially made sweaters and pucks, a huge turnout for the golf tournament and a birthday celebration that included family, friends and four Olympic hockey coaches helped make the Army Hockey Alumni Weekend and Jack Riley Birthday Celebration a rousing success. From Friday’s alumni game to Saturday’s 90th birthday party for the legendary Riley, former players, fans and family had the opportunity to share stories, reminisce and pass on birthday wishes to Riley. “What a great weekend for Army hockey,” said Army hockey head coach Brian Riley, Jack’s youngest son. “Seeing so many old faces and such a great turnout really reinforced that Army hockey is a bond for life.” The weekend began with Friday’s alumni game, a close contest with the white squad pulling out a 13-12 victory as more than 20 skaters participated. Each jersey had the Riley nameplate on the back and everyone wore number 90. Special pucks, featuring a photo of Riley and the date, were utilized. “It’s great to see the guys,” said Ed Healy, a 1976 graduate who served as Jack’s head Officer Representative for four years. “It’s been a while since I have been here and this seemed like the perfect weekend to come back and see coach and
reconnect with some old friends.” Jack Riley, who won 542 games while behind the Army bench and coached the 1960 U.S. Olympic team to a gold medal, spent parts of the game in the crowd catching up with former players and friends and also spent some time coaching as well. Saturday’s tournament at the West Point Golf Course featured more than 100 participants and a slew of prizes and raffle items. A few golfers sported replica USA sweaters for the start of the event and a few hockey stickers were spotted in golf bags. Each of the four golfers on the winning team received a copy of the book 1960: Miracle at Squaw Valley, written by Harvey Shapiro., among other great prizes. Following the golf event, the festivities moved to the West Point Ski Slope for a birthday celebration of Riley, the head coach of Army for 36 seasons, after passing a road sign that wished him Happy Birthday. More than 150 people were on hand, most of whom signed a giant card provided by U.S.A. Hockey. Brian Riley served as master of ceremonies, thanking everyone for their support of the event and Army hockey. He then introduced three other Olympic coaches who made the trek to West Point, N.Y. Murray Williamson, an assistant on the 1968 squad and head coach of the ‘72 team that won a silver medal; Tim Taylor, an assistant in 1984 and the head coach in 1994 and Lou Vairo, an assistant in 2002 and head coach in 1984, were all on hand for an historic gathering of Olympic greatness. In addition to the Olympic head coaches, all five of Jack Riley’s children -- sons Jay, Mark, Rob and Brian and daughter Mary Beth -- as well as nieces and nephews, cousins and grandchildren were on hand. Carl Ulrich, who served as Athletic Director dur-
ARMY HOCKEY PAGE 6
ing Riley’s tenure made the trek and former neighbor Bobby Knight, who was out of the country and unable to attend, sent birthday wishes. “I am so blessed,” said Jack Riley, shortly after the crowd sang Happy Birthday. “It has been so great to see so many old friends and players and I thank you all for coming out.” Said Brian Riley, “This has been a great weekend and there are so many people to thank. The Army hockey staff and the Army Hockey Association did an outstanding job putting this together and we are so thankful for the folks that came out to say hi to my dad and support our program.”

KENNA HALL OF ARMY SPORTS The Army Sports Hall of Fame has inducted six classes and there is a strong hockey presence among the Academy’s top athletes. Coach Jack Riley and players David Rost, David Merhar, George Clark, John Boretti, Pete Dawkins and Ralph Chesnauskas all left their mark on one of the country’s oldest hockey programs and earned induction. The Army Sports Hall of Fame is located in the Kimsey Athletic Center. Each inductee has a plaque highlighting their many accomplishments and each team has a separate area detailing the history of the sport at West Point. Riley is Army’s all-time winningest coach and compiled a 542-343-20 record during his remarkable 36-year career at the Black Knights’ hockey helm. He retired in 1986 as the secondwinningest college hockey head coach in NCAA history and currently ranks ninth on the list. In addition, Riley led the 1960 U.S. Olympic Team to a gold medal at the Squaw Valley Games. Merhar led Army’s hockey team in scoring during each of his three seasons with the varsity, but it was his explosive senior campaign that earned him national acclaim. Merhar erupted for an NCAA-record 57 goals and tallied 50 assists during the 1968-69 season, becoming the first collegiate player ever to surpass 100 points in one year. No player in NCAA hockey history has scored more points than Rost, who compiled an astounding 330 points during his remarkable fouryear career at Army. Rost was tabbed a first-team All-East selection in 1977, capping a sparkling senior season in which he set an Academy record with 108 points, while jointly setting the NCAA singleseason scoring mark with Clarkson’s Dave Taylor. The Black Knights’ career assist leader with 226, Rost tallied 104 career goals to graduate in third place in that category. His 66 assists in 1974-75 remain an Academy record. Clark wasn’t far behind Rost and Merhar when it came to scoring. The Academy’s only two-time All-American, Clark is third all-time with 266 points. His 153 goals top the Academy goals scoring chart while his 113 assists are 10th all-time. He had a seven-goal game to his credit and once netted nine points in a game. Boretti was a three-sport star at the Academy in baseball, soccer and hockey. He played 75 games as a defenseman with 27 points. Dawkins, a Heisman Trophy winner in 1958, was also a defenseman on the hockey team. Chesnauskas, the most recent inductee as part of the Class of 2009, was also a threesport star. In addition to hockey, he also played football and basketball. On the ice, he served as team captain as a senior for Riley, despite having no hockey experience prior to his arrival at the U.S. Military Academy.

ARMY IN INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION Olympic gold medals and international competition and success as also a part of the Army hockey tradition. From Jack Riley and Larry Palmer winning gold medals to players competing in the World University Games and pre-Olympic Tours, Army hockey has traveled the globe. Riley, Army’s head coach for 36 seasons, was behind the bench for the 1960 U.S. Olympic team and pulled off a series of stunning upsets on the way to winning the gold medal. To build team unity, he named his lines Red, White and Blue instead of the standard first, second and third lines and preached fitness. A 7-5 win over Czechoslovakia was followed by a 12-1 win over Australia before they opened medal play with a 6-3 victory over Sweden. The U.S. followed that up with a 2-1 upset against gold-medal favorite Canada and a 9-1 pasting of Germany. Riley then guided the Americans past Russia, 3-2, marking the first time in history a U.S. hockey team had beaten a Soviet team. The rematch with the Czechs was closer but following a 9-4 win that included six unanswered goals by the Americans, the celebration was set. A standing ovation on the plane ride home was followed by a military police escort at West Point and a victory gathering. Riley also participated as a skater internationally, competing in the ‘48 Olympics in Stockholm where the team finished fourth despite defeating Italy 3-1 and Poland 31-1. Riley scored the gamewinning goal in a 4-3 win over England but Canada won the gold medal. Palmer, a three-time letterwinner for Riley at West Point, joined the gold-medal winning team following his graduation in 1959 as the back-up goaltender. Scott Schulze, a defenseman who registered 90 points prior to his graduation from West Point in 1990, was a member of Team U.S.A. in the World University Games in 1989 in Sapporo, Japan. The 1991 World University Games’ U.S. roster featured classmates Todd Tamburino and Scott Williams during competition in Sophia, Bulgaria. Williams was a 1991 graduate with 31 points while Tamburino collected 57 points from his defenseman position. Ed Crowley, a 1948 graduate, was an alternate on the 1948 squad with Riley while Paul DeGironimo was part of a pre-Olympic Tour prior to his graduation in 1987.

OUTDOOR SCRIMMAGE Each year, the Army hockey team makes the trek on Route 9W to Bear Mountain State Park for an outdoor scrimmage. Often held around the Christmas break, the team travels in vans for a workout outside. Teams are chosen by the captains and then sticks are thrown in the middle of the rink where a player randomly choose who uses what model. What follows is a high-intensity game with nothing but pride on the line, held in one of the most spectacular settings of the Hudson Valley.

HOCKEY FACILITIES Holleder Center, the home of Tate Rink and Army Hockey, is located next to venerable Michie Stadium on the sprawling acreage of West Point. Holleder Center, a 131,000 square foot facility, was completed on Oct. 1, 1985, and houses Tate Rink, Christl Arena, offices for the Army hockey staff, administrative offices, the Army Ticket Office and an athletic training room. Tate Rink, with a capacity of 2,525 fans, has served as home ice for 25 years and continues to attract fans in record numbers while proving a true “home ice” advantage for the Black Knights. Army christened Tate Rink with a 5-0 victory over Ryerson on Oct. 25, 1985 and has enjoyed success at home ever since, with a .500 or better record 20 times and a winning percentage greater of than .600. In excess of 30,000 people have turned out to Tate Rink in each of the past 20 seasons to support the Black Knights. In 1996-97, the Black Knights set a third consecutive attendance mark, attracting 42,929 fans. The all-time single-game attendance record for Tate Rink is 3,147, established in 1988-89 when Army edged Rensselaer, 4-3. New dasher boards, seamless glass and a new ice surface are among the recent upgrades made to Tate Rink. Other recent renovations include: a Daktronics scoreboard, installation of 32 television-quality lights with 600- and 1,000-watt settings and installation of a Double-Ply, Low-E ceiling. Premium, rink-side seating and a hospitality area are the newest additions to Tate Rink. Twenty-four seats were added to the North end of the rink and for the third consecutive year, fans will have the chance to visit the hospitality area. The hockey players benefit from a spacious locker room right outside the ice surface. Included in the space is a locker room, changing room, team room, athletic training room and the team’s video suite. The team room and video suite are the latest additions. Donations by players, families and friends of Army Hockey helped complete the team room that includes large sofas, a big-screen television, surround sound, study carousels and wireless Internet.

COACHES PERSPECTIVE ON WEST POINT “Having the opportunity to coach here at West Point is both an honor and a privilege. On a daily basis, you have an opportunity to interact with the most impressive young people that this country has to offer. Knowing that in some small way, you as a coach help develop these young men to become the future leaders -- in not only the U.S. Army but in this country -- makes coaching here at West Point both a rewarding and humbling experience.” – HEAD COACH BRIAN RILEY
“My wife (Molly) and I consider it an honor to serve here at West Point. Working on a daily basis with these outstanding young men has been one of the most rewarding experiences of our lives.” – ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH ROB HABERBUSCH. (HIS WIFE, MOLLY, TEACHES IN THE
DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION)
“When first stepping foot on the academy grounds, I was immediately impressed with the tremendous amount of history behind every door. The sense of pride within West Point is second to none, and I feel honored to become a part of this storied tradition. Coach Riley and his staff run a first-class program with a family atmosphere and I am grateful to assist in those efforts. This community has been extremely welcoming and I feel privileged to have the opportunity to coach the future leaders of this country here at West Point.” –ASSISTANT COACH TREVOR LARGE ARMY HOCKEY PAGE 16
PLAYERS PERSPECTIVE ON WEST POINT “West Point is special to everyone for different reasons, but no matter how each person’s reasons differ, everyone can agree that the two centuries of tradition make being a member of the long gray line special. What I love most about being at West Point is the inseparable bond that I have made with my hockey teammates. On no other hockey team do players have to overcome so much adversity, and in doing that, we have a team full of best friends and a chemistry that will take this team to the highest level.” Senior captain Cody Omilusik “I think what makes West Point so special is the experience and the people. The culture of the school and the camaraderie amongst students is nothing like I’ve seen at other college campuses; there truly is nothing like it. Here, you make friends for life. “ Junior alternate captain Marcel Alvarez “The people (teachers, classmates, teammates, officer representatives, and sponsors) you meet at West Point are one of the main reasons West Point is so special. Also, the bond that is formed between teammates, due to the fact that everyone has to go through the same challenges (militarily, physically, and academically), are some of the strongest I have ever been a part of.” Junior defenseman Pat Ryan “What makes West Point special is the amount of people who are so deeply invested in developing you as a person and not just an athlete, or just a student but as a leader of character.’ Sophomore defenseman John Clark “West Point gives you a new perspective on life. It really makes you appreciate what most people would take for granted. Just getting an evening off to go out to dinner with the guys, or hit up a movie can be pretty big event.” Senior captain Pat Copeland
The Army hockey class of 2009
“West Point has been a place of amazing personal growth for me. The academic rigors and military disciplines and athletic endovers have very specific aspects that make them challenging, but the bottom line is that there are many people from several different directions who all expect you to give them the majority of your personal resources: your time, your attention, your energy, and your emotions. It forces you to look inside and ask yourself who and what takes priority and challenges you to keep those priorities in their proper order. Deciding how much to give of yourself to each of these demands is the ultimate challenge of West Point and the fruits borne from that experience are what make West Point special.” Senior alternate captain Jay Clark “West Point is different because of all the constant demands put on the student. And just as frequently, we find that we’re able to do more than we had thought we could, whether it’s a day of tests, obstacle courses, practice and mentorship. Also, going through tough times together with your classmates creates a tight bond. Lastly, the standard of excellence in every aspect of life here is what separates this institution from most others.” Junior forward Mike Hull

THE U.S. MILITARY ACADEMY The United States Military Academy is renowned because of its historic and distinguished reputation as a military academy, and as a leading, progressive institution of higher education. Made legendary in books and movies produced over the years, the Academy’s “Long Gray Line” of graduates includes some of our nation’s most famous and influential men: Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, George S. Patton, Omar Bradley, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight Eisenhower and Norman Schwarzkopf. Because of this superb education and leadership experience, West Point graduates historically have been sought for high level civilian and military leadership positions. Their numbers include two U.S. presidents, several ambassadors, state governors, legislators, judges, cabinet members, educators, astronauts and corporate executives. Today, West Point continues to provide hundreds of young men and women the unique opportunity to develop physically, ethically and intellectually while building a foundation for an exciting, challenging and rewarding career as an Army officer in the service of our nation. Cadets have much more responsibility in running the Academy than students in most other colleges or universities. It adds to the leadership experience, Cadets succeed at West Point because of the support they receive from the staff and faculty. After all, many faculty members are West Point graduates and understand the challenge cadets face on a daily basis. They also serve as ideal role models, showing cadets what Army life is like. The U.S. Military Academy’s primary strength is its ability to develop leaders of character who are committed to “Duty, Honor, Country” and selfless service to our nation.

THE U.S. MILITARY ACADEMY The mission of the U.S. Military Academy is to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country; professional growth throughout a career as an officer in the U.S. Army; and a lifetime of selfless service to the Nation. Founded on March 16, 1802, the Academy celebrated its Bicentennial in 2002. But West Point’s role in America’s history dates to the Revolutionary War, when both sides realized the strategic importance of the commanding plateau on the west bank of the Hudson River. Gen. George Washington considered West Point to be the most strategic position in America. He personally selected Thaddeus Kosciuszko, one of the heroes of Saratoga, to design the fortifications in 1778 after problems arose with French engineers originally placed in charge of the design. In 1779, General Washington transferred his headquarters to West Point. Continental soldiers built forts, batteries and defensive barriers. A 100-ton iron chain was extended across the Hudson to control river traffic. Today, several links from that chain are arranged at Trophy Point as a reminder of West Point’s original fortifications. In 1802 President Thomas Jefferson signed the legislation establishing the U.S. Military Academy to create an institution devoted to the arts and sciences of warfare. This effectively eliminated America’s wartime reliance on foreign engineers and artillerists. West Point became the nation’s first engineering school and served as the model for engineering programs which were eventually established at other colleges. Col. Sylvanus Thayer, the “Father of the Military Academy,” served as Superintendent from 1817 through 1833. He upgraded academic standards, instilled military discipline and emphasized honorable conduct. Early graduates were largely responsible for the construction of the nation’s initial railway lines, bridges, harbors, and roads. Although the curriculum maintains its focus on engineering, in recent decades the program of instruction has markedly changed, providing cadets a selection of more than 40 majors. This tradition of academic and military excellence, guided by a demanding standard of moral and ethical conduct, remains the cornerstone of the West Point experience. It is said at West Point that “much of the history we teach was made by those people we taught.” The Academy has produced famous leaders throughout its illustrious past… Civil War Generals Grant, Sherman, Lee, and Jackson, to name but a few. In World War I, 34 of the 38
corps and division commanders were graduates. World War II would see many graduates reach brigadier general or higher, to include Eisenhower, MacArthur, Bradley and Patton. In more recent conflicts, MacArthur, Ridgway, Westmoreland, Abrams, Schwarzkopf and Abizaid were in command. Academy graduates have also excelled in air and space exploration, and countless others went on from military service to become leaders in medicine, law, business, religion and science. Since its founding, the Military Academy fulfills the same mission as it always has . . . to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets. It accomplishes this mission by developing cadets in three essential areas: intellectual, physical and military. These developmental paths are balanced and fully integrated into the daily life of each young man and woman at the Academy. Intellectual growth is fostered through an academic curriculum that provides a broad liberal education in the arts and sciences. The electives program builds upon the foundation of the core, allowing cadets to develop even greater competence in selected areas. In addition, the fields-of-study and majors nurture the development of creativity, critical thinking, and self-directed learning, essential characteristics of 21st century officers. The four-year academic experience leads to a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Army. Physical development is achieved through a rigorous athletic and physical education program. Each cadet participates at the intercollegiate, club or intramural level each semester. This readies the cadet for the physical demands of military life and helps teach good judgment and self-discipline, even while under mental and physical stress. Military development begins with the cadet’s first day at West Point. Most military training takes place during the summer, with new cadets undergoing Cadet Basic Training, or Beast Barracks, their first year, followed the second summer by Cadet Field Training. Cadets spend their third and fourth summers serving in active Army units around the world; attending specialty training such as airborne, air assault or northern warfare or helping to train the first- and second-year cadets. The Cadet Leader Development System seeks to give the cadets increasing responsibility until they are ready to receive their commissions and assume their duties as leaders in today’s Army. Moral and ethical values guide cadets throughout their four years at West Point. Commitment to the Academy’s “Bedrock Values,” based on integrity and respect for the dignity of others, begins on the first day. Integrity is reflected in the Cadet Honor Code which states: “A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.” Respect denotes that cadets treat others with the same respect and dignity they themselves would expect. At West Point, it is not enough to train leaders—they must be leaders of character. Admission is keenly competitive and is open to young men and women from all states and territories and from every socioeconomic level. Prospective cadets must receive a nomination by a member of Congress or from the Department of the Army. The Academy seeks candidates who possess records of success in academics, athletics and leadership indicative of well-rounded individuals. Although the life of a cadet is demanding, there remains an array of club activities ranging from golf, skiing, boxing, crew and orienteering to such organizations as the cadet radio station, Habitat for Humanity and Big Brothers-Big Sisters. Additionally, the U.S. Corps of Cadets hosts a Special Olympics event each spring. Today’s Military Academy is a vastly different institution from the small academy legislated into being by Congress in 1802. Originally just 1,800 acres, the Academy has grown to more than 16,000 acres. The first graduating class numbered just two men; today’s classes graduate more than 900 new officers annually, both men and women, who are prepared for leadership roles within the Army. With the expansion of knowledge and the changing needs of the United States Army and the nation, life at West Point has changed to keep pace. Ever mindful of its rich heritage, the U.S. Military Academy is developing leaders for tomorrow, and its focus remains the national needs of the 21st century.

GRANT
ROBERT E. LEE ’29 The Academy’s ninth Superintendent (1852-55), Lee was a model cadet during his four years at West Point. He graduated second in his class and never earned a single demerit during his four years at the Academy. At the beginning of the Civil War, he was selected to serve as Commanding General of the Army, but instead resigned his commission and was named General-In-Chief of the Confederate Army from 1861 to 1865. Lee’s surrender to Ulysses S. Grant (USMA 1843), at Appomattox Court House, Va., ended the Civil War. Fort Lee, Va., was named in his honor. ULYSSES S. GRANT ’43 Grant distinguished himself during the Civil War at the Battle of Vicksburg in 1863; his victory secured control of the Mississippi River for the Union. President Abe Lincoln later appointed him Commanding General of the Army in March 1864. On April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House, Va., Robert E. Lee (USMA 1829) surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to him, ending the Civil War. Grant later served as the 18th President of the United States from 1869 to 1877. Today, his image graces the $50 bill. GEORGE W. GOETHALS ’80 Goethals became an architect and was builder of the Panama Canal, 1904 TO 1914. JOHN J. PERSHING ’86 Considered the second most senior officer in Army history, behind only George Washington, Pershing served as commander of the American Expeditionary Force during World War I. The two-millionplus troops of the AEF made a decisive contribution to the defeat of Imperial Germany. Pershing’s abilities as a leader distinguished him among European commanders, and through repeated successes on the battlefield, promoted American prestige around the world. He served as Army Chief of Staff in 1921, and was named General of the Armies of the United States upon his retirement in 1924.

CENTER FOR ENHANCED PERFORMANCE The Center For Enhanced Performance (CEP) ensures that every cadet now has the opportunity to develop expertise in the key mental skills which underlie high-level performance in all situations. It offers three programs designed to maximize West Point cadet performance, as well as export these critical mental skills to the United States Army at large. The Performance Enhancement Program (PEP) uses state-of-the-art training methods and sophisticated audio/video technologies, while broadening the applications to include cadets from every performance endeavor. This training, as comprehensive and detailed as any received by professional and Olympic athletes, enables cadets to develop confidence under pressure, concentration amidst distractions, and composure during times of stress. Cadets participate in individual training sessions, during free periods in their academic schedule, learning, and then applying the skills of imagery, attention control, stress and energy management, and goal setting. Biofeedback training allows cadets to learn crucial self-regulation techniques. Sophisticated audio and video simulations of game and practice situations are created to facilitate guided imagery and mental rehearsal of specific physical, academic, or military skills. The Academic Excellence Program provides instruction in academic support skills designed to help cadets succeed in the classroom. Three classes are offered throughout the academic year: 1) the Student Success Course, a 20 lesson course combining the study skills of textbook marking, note taking, test preparation and time management, with the mental skills such as attention control, confidence building, stress and energy
management; 2) Reading Efficiency, a 10 lesson course designed to improve reading speed and comprehension through drill and utilization of modern computer technologies; and 3) Information Literacy and Critical Thinking, a 20-lesson course taught jointly with the USMA Library staff created to enhance problem-solving skills and critically read and evaluate research. The CEP Tutor Program organizes final exam preparation sessions at the end of each semester, and cadet tutors for nearly every academic course are available throughout the year. Most recently the CEP created the Military Enhancement Program (MEP), designed to apply the skills and techniques taught by the Performance Enhancement Program within a military context. MEP Training is now nested throughout the 47 months of the West Point experience. These programs are unique aids to the every member of the Corps of Cadets who seeks to achieve their full potential in academics, athletics and military training. The Center for Enhanced Performance is a powerful demonstration of the Academy’s commitment to provide the finest training available to the future leaders of the nation. The results the program has had on hockey players is undeniable. Eighteen players, or 66.67% of the roster, made the dean’s list during the 2009-10 Academic Year, the most of the Academy’s 25 NCAA sports. Goalie Jay Clark was a third-team Academic All-American and Army had 17 players selected to the Academic Team by the Atlantic Hockey Association. To be eligible, players must have at least a 3.0 grade-point average in both semesters. In all, Army has had 68 selections to the Academic Team. ARMY HOCKEY PAGE 30

HEAD COACH BRIAN RILEY When Brian Riley was named Army hockey’s 16th head coach in 2004, he knew plenty about the United States Military Academy. After spending 14 years as an assistant under his brother, Rob, and hearing stories of success from his father, Jack, Brian Riley came very well-prepared when it came to Army hockey. The preparations have led to success, adding to the Riley legacy at West Point. Just the third Army hockey coach in the past 60 years, Brian Riley has established his own legacy in only six seasons. Three Atlantic Hockey Association Coach of the Year honors, six consecutive playoff berths, the first regular season championship in program history and four players chosen to participate in the NCAA Frozen Four Skills Competition are among the accolades collected under Brian Riley. Brian Riley succeed his brother, Rob, who retired from coaching. Prior to Rob, Jack Riley, their father, stood behind the Black Knights bench for 36 seasons. Rob Riley recently returned to coaching when he was named head coach of the American Hockey League’s Springfield Falcons, the Columbus Blue Jackets’ top minor league affiliate. In addition to his success at Army, Jack Riley also coached the U.S. Olympic hockey team to a stunning gold medal in the 1960 Games. Utilizing a defensive system that focuses on physical, intense play and opportunistic scoring, Riley has led his squad to the playoffs in all six of his seasons. During the 2009-10 season, Riley helped the Black Knights to an 11-win season and the No. 6 seed in the conference playoffs. Among the victories was a three-point weekend against Air Force at Tate Rink, a 4-4 overtime draw at Colgate and a 2-1 win at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the second consecutive year of a non-conference win. In the postseason, Riley was selected as an assistant coach of the East squad at the NCAA Frozen Four Skills Competition where he coached Army’s Owen Meyer, the fourth Black Knight selected for the honor joining Brad Roberts (2006), Luke Flicek (2008) and Zach McKelvie (2009). In 2008-09, with a team of 12 freshmen, Riley guided the Black Knights to the Atlantic Hockey Association playoffs for the sixth straight season. Included in the wins was a shocking upset of #2 Miami, 3-2 in the consolation game of the Ohio Hockey Classic. Three years ago, Riley led Army to its first regular season championship and won 19 games for the second consecutive season. Army went 19-14-4 in 2007-08, winning the AHA regular season title and the top seed in the conference tournament. For the second straight year, Army advanced to at least the semifinal round. During the 2007-08 season, Army put together a league-best ninegame unbeaten streak (8-0-1) to clinch the regular season title. Army won the first two games of the best-of-three series with Sacred Heart to advance to the semifinals where a loss to Mercyhurst ended the season. In 2006-07, the Black Knights hosted a league playoff game at Tate Rink for the first time and beat Bentley, 6-2. They followed that with a 3-1 win over Connecticut in the semifinals before losing to Air
Force in the finals. Riley was named the league coach of the year for the first time in 2005-06, when the team finished fifth in conference play after overcoming a 0-7-1 start. In his first campaign behind the Black Knights’ bench, Riley engineered one of the biggest upsets in the NCAA when Army stunned Colgate, 3-2, in Hamilton, N.Y., for his first career win. Riley led his team to 11 wins during that initial season, setting the Academy record for most victories by a rookie head coach. He broke the record established by his brother, Rob, in 1986-87. In addition, the younger Riley also piloted the Black Knights to their first postseason win in more than a quarter century when Army defeated American International College, 5-3, in the first round of the Atlantic Hockey tournament. Riley’s father, Jack, started it all in 1951 when legendary football coach and athletic director at West Point, Earl “Red” Blaik, hired him to head the hockey program. What began as a one-year contract, turned into a 36-year Hall of Fame career that culminated in 542 victories. Riley’s brother, Rob, took the reins from his father in the fall of 1986 and racked up 306 victories of his own over 18 winters. When Rob officially stepped down in the summer of 2004, he passed the torch (and family tradition) on to his younger brother. Brian brings an extensive resume to his “dream job” at the Academy. No stranger to West Point or the “West Point Experience,” the younger Riley has spent 14 years as an assistant coach to his brother, eventually rising to the position of associate head coach. Brian played an integral role in recruiting many of the athletes that helped Army put together back-to-back 20-win seasons and tutored Corey and Ian Winer, former Colorado Avalanche forward Dan Hinote

HEAD COACH BRIAN RILEY and Boston Bruins free agent signee Zach McKelvie during his career at the Academy. More recently, Riley helped the Black Knights string together seven straight postseason appearances as members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference and Atlantic Hockey. His expertise in working with the defense molded Army’s past squads into one of the most stingy blue line units in college hockey. A 1983 graduate of Brown, Riley began his coaching career in 1984 with a three-year stint as an assistant coach at SUNY Plattsburgh. During that period, the Cardinals advanced to the NCAA Division III Tournament three times, reaching the championship game twice. In 1988, Riley moved to the Division I ranks at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell. There, he teamed with his cousin, Bill Riley, for one season, directing the River Hawks to the NCAA Tournament, giving him his fourth straight postseason appearance. The following winter, Riley joined his brother’s staff at West Point for the first time where he spent the next seven seasons. In 1996, the West Point native left the comfort and familiarity of the Academy, where he grew up, for the great Midwest and a head coaching position at Shattuck St. Mary’s Prep School in Faribault, Minn. There, Riley carved out a stellar two-year coaching career in which his teams compiled an impressive 94-19-10 record. In his first season, Riley directed the squad to a 40-9-7 record before improving to 54-10-3 in 1997-98. In 1999, Riley returned to West Point, where he served at his brother’s side until assuming the head coaching position in 2004. During his collegiate playing days, Riley co-captained Brown’s hockey squad his senior season, earning honorable mention All-Ivy
League. He was presented the Class of ’36 Trophy for his outstanding contributions over his four-year career and the Patrick Jones Trophy for most team spirit. Prior to starring for Brown, Riley attended New Hampton Prep and led the hockey team to a No. 1 national ranking among prep schools. He was chosen as the school’s most outstanding athlete while captaining both the soccer and hockey teams. Riley completed course work on his master’s, earning a graduate degree in Education from Boston University, in May 2003. Riley is married to the former Marybeth Feldman of Highland Falls, N.Y. The couple resides at West Point with their three children: Jack, 18, Danielle, 16, and Brendan, 14.

THE AHA Entering its eighth season, the Atlantic Hockey Association continues to grow and prosper under solid leadership and a strong nucleus of institutions, which embodies the diverse structure of the league. Atlantic Hockey is one of five NCAA Division I men’s ice hockey conferences which owns an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament for its league champion. The addition of Robert Morris and Niagara during the 2010-11 season bring the total number of member institutions to 12. RIT claimed last year’s tourament championships and automatic NCAA bid and advanced all the way to the Frozen Four. Upset wins against Denver and New Hampshire helped the Tigers become the first AHA team to play in the Frozen Four. RIT beat Canisius 4-0 and Sacred Heart 6-0 to win the conference tournament. Prior to that, Air Force won three straight Atlantic Hockey Association Tournaments and pulled an upset in the NCAA Tournament two years ago. During the 2008-09 NCAA Tournament. Air Force dispatched top-seeded Michigan, 2-0, and nearly pulled a second upset, dropping an overtime contest against Vermont, 3-2 in the second extra session. The Falcons advanced to the NCAA Tournament with a 2-0 win against Mercyhurst in the Atlantic Hockey Association Tournament finals. In 2007-08, Air Force beat Mercyhurst 5-4 in double overtime in the finals but fell to Miami (Ohio) 3-2 in overtime in the NCAAs. In 2006-07, Air Force beat Army 6-1 in the conference tournament championship game and then dropped a 4-3 contest to No. 1 ranked Minnesota. In 2005-06, Holy Cross made history as the first Atlantic Hockey school to win a game at the NCAA Tournament, defeating top-seeded Minnesota, 4-3. The overtime decision sent shock waves through the college hockey community and officially announced Atlantic Hockey’s presence on the national stage. Although the Crusaders bowed to regional host North Dakota, 5-2, in the regional final, the statement had already been made: Atlantic Hockey is here to stay. The conference, which added Air Force and Rochester Institute of Technology to its membership four seasons ago, is comprised of 12. The Air Force Academy made the switch from College Hockey America and was reunited with serviceacademy rival Army. The two academies were members of CHA for the 1999-2000 season. RIT made the jump from Division III, where the Tigers made 13 NCAA Tournament appearances and won nine ECAC West titles. The addition of Robert Morris and Niagara has changed the scheduling in the AHA. The teams are split into geographic scheduling pods and teams in each of the “regions” will play three games against teams in their own “region,” while playing two crossover games against the other “regions” squads. Each team will play a total of 27 conference games with the standings including all 12 members. Robert Morris is a private school near Pittsburgh, Pa., with an enrollment of 5,000 and competed in College Hockey America. Niagara is a private liberal arts university the Niagara River overlooking the Canadian province of Ontario. The team was a member of CHA.
The mission of the Atlantic Hockey Association is to provide its members with a positive NCAA Division I college hockey experience fostering competitive excellence, championship play and recognition of teams and individual student-athletes and coaches. Atlantic Hockey is committed to academic excellence, a high level of competitiveness, sportsmanship and fair play within the context of athletic integrity. 7 Parkridge Road, Haverhill, MA 01835 (P) 978-373-9640 (F) 978-373-9642 CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS 2004 Holy Cross 4, Sacred Heart 0 2005 Mercyhurst 3, Quinipiac 2 2006 Holy Cross 5, Bentley 2 2007 Air Force 6, Army 1 2008 Air Force 5, Mercyhurst 4 (2 OT) 2009 Air Force 2, Mercyhurst 0 2010 RIT 6, Sacred Heart 1 IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT 2004 (1) North Dakota 3, Holy Cross 1 2005 (1) Boston College 5, Mercyhurst 4 2006 Holy Cross 4, (1) Minnesota 3 (2) North Dakota 5, Holy Cross 2 2007 (1) Minnesota 4, Air Force 3 2008 (2) Miami 3, Air Force 2 (OT) 2009 Air Force 2, (3) Michigan 0 Vermont 3, Air Force 2, (2 OT) 2010 RIT 2, Denver 1 RIT 6, New Hampshire 2 Wisconsin 8, RIT 1
Atlantic Hockey was formed when Fairfield University and Iona College dropped their programs and the nine remaining schools in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference decided to break away from the multi-sport conference and form their own “hockey only” league. That left just one full-time MAAC institution (Canisius). Although the MAAC Council of Presidents agreed to continue operating the league, its governance structure presented numerous challenges to the membership, and the schools chose to withdraw and seek their own path. The nine remaining members voted on June 30, 2003 to sever ties with the conference and former Merrimack College athletic director, Robert M. DeGregorio, Jr., was introduced as Atlantic Hockey’s first commissioner. DeGregorio oversees all aspects of running the hockey conference from the league’s offices in Haverhill, Mass.

COMMISSIONER ROBERT M. DEGREGORIO, JR. Robert M. DeGregorio, Jr., was introduced as Atlantic Hockey’s first commissioner on June 30, 2003. He oversees the 10 members of the league and all aspects of running the conference. DeGregorio is no stranger to guiding a major Division I ice hockey league. He served as commissioner of Hockey East from 1993-96, when he replaced Stuart P. Haskell, who resigned to devote full-time energies to his position as Commissioner of the North Atlantic Conference. DeGregorio, the former Director of Athletics at Merrimack College for 19 years, joined the staff at Merrimack as business manager for the Athletic Department and for the College’s S. Peter Volpe Physical Education Center in 1978. He was promoted to Director of Athletics in May of 1983. Throughout his tenure, many of the Warrior teams become national powers. The 15-sport Division II program reached its pinnacle in 1999-2000 when it captured the Northeast-10 President’s Cup, awarded for the top overall performance of all teams. DeGregorio was also Merrimack’s softball coach from 1982-1992, posting 211 victories in ten seasons and guided the Warriors to four Northeast-10 Conference titles. He was named Northeast-10 Conference Coach of the Year three times (1986, 1989, and 1992). The Warriors won the 1994 Division II National Softball Championship and the softball program has a total of five appearances in the national championship tournament. DeGregorio has sat on numerous committees and held many posts while at Merrimack, serving his institution nationally on various NCAA committees. He was a member of the NCAA Division I Ice Hockey Committee from 1994-98. DeGregorio served as director on the Northeast-10 Conference (NE-10) Board of Directors, Chairman of the NE-10 Men’s Basketball Championship and the NE-10 Finance Committees. He was a member of the NCAA Northeast Region Advisory Committees for both men’s basketball and baseball. DeGregorio also previously served as a director of the Eastern Football Conference and as the conference’s treasurer, member of the ECAC Finance Committee and chairman of the ECAC Investment Committee. A resident of Winthrop, Mass., where he resides with his wife Michele, DeGregorio graduated from Boston State College in 1973 with a bachelor’s degree in education. Bob has two children, Leah and Robert Michael III.
Eight of the original nine charter members now form Atlantic Hockey including: American International College, Army, Bentley College, Canisius College, University of Connecticut, College of the Holy Cross, Mercyhurst College and Sacred Heart University. The first official league contest took place on October 11, 2003, with Holy Cross defeating Canisius 3-1 in Buffalo, N.Y. Atlantic Hockey retained the MAAC’s automatic bid to the NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey Tournament and Holy Cross captured the first AHA postseason title in 2004. The inaugural AHA tournament was a success with the U.S. Military Academy serving as host for all eight games.

ARMY HOCKEY HISTORY The Army hockey team has established itself as one of the nation’s oldest and most respected programs and will continue to build on that tradition in this, its 106th year of intercollegiate hockey. Five seasons ago, the Black Knights became just the 13th school in NCAA history to reach 1,000 victories. That historic win came against service academy rival Air Force on Nov. 11, 2005. Last year, Army qualified for the playoffs for an eighth straight year, coming on the heels of its first outright regular season championship in 2007-08 in which the team won the Atlantic Hockey Association with a 178-3 conference mark. Army has been the sixth seed in the AHA playoffs each of the last two years, continuting a tradition of playoff hockey. During the 2007-08 season, the Black Knights earned the top-seed in the conference tournament and dispatched American International in a first-round series before losing to Mercyhurst in the semifinals. The 2006-07 squad advanced to the title game of the Atlantic Hockey Association Tournament, its best finish since the conference went to a tournament format seven years prior. The Black Knights earned the No. 2 seed for the conference tournament with a 19-12-5 overall mark and a 15-8-5 slate in league games. Army has the third oldest program in the country, along with Princeton, behind Yale (111) and Harvard (108). The Black Knights have won 1,071 games and boast a winning percentage of .532. Army hockey has produced three players and one coach that have represented the United States in Olympic and other international competitions and also had an individual make a name for himself in the National Hockey League. THE BEGINNING ON “THE PLAIN” From a frozen patch of raw ice on “The Plain” to venerable and perpetually frigid Smith Rink to the cozy confines of present day Tate Rink, Army has certainly carved its own niche in college hockey since the program’s inception in 1904. The first chapter of Army hockey was written in the first decade of the 20th century. Under the direction of coaches Capt. Edward King and Capt. Robert Foy, the program enjoyed immediate success in its early days, winning 17 of its first 19 games and outscoring its foes 85-20. Eight of the first 17 wins came via shutout. King guided the Black Knights to a sturdy 5-1 record in that inaugural season of 1904, including a four-game winning streak to close out the year. Army posted seven or more goals in four of its six outings that season. Under Foy’s direction, with a 3-0 mark in 1905, Army’s win streak reached seven straight as the squad opened 3-0. A loss to St. Paul’s School brought that run to an end. However, Foy’s icemen followed that setback with four more victories. Those early games were held during the winter on “The Plain” in an area flooded with water in late fall so a rink could form by mid-winter. Open-air rinks would serve as the team’s home until construction of Smith Rink was completed in 1931. The first-ever match up between Army and the Royal Military College of Canada, West Point’s counterpart north of the border, was held on the Academy’s open-air patch of ice in 1923. One year later, the Black Knights continued their blossoming series with RMC by taking a historic trip to Kingston, Ontario. That road trip was Army’s first in its hockey history, spanning 138 games and 20-plus seasons. In addition to King and Foy, the hockey program’s early history is replete with the efforts of others, like Talbot Hunter, who helped General Douglas MacArthur coordinate plans in 1922 and 1923 for the Army-RMC series; Ray Marchand, a Canadian native who helped the Black Knights finally beat RMC some 16 games into the series and was behind the Army
Jack Riley after leading the 1960 U.S. men’s hockey team to Olympic gold bench for 20 seasons; and Dave Merhar who authored one of only two 100-point seasons in Academy history. Throughout its history, the West Point hockey program has built a strong reputation as a highly competitive opponent relying on hard-nosed, fundamental hockey. However, the successes of Army hockey has not been limited to the ice at West Point as many within the Army “family” have carried the Academy’s Black, Gold and Gray on to greater glory. Long-time head coach Jack Riley is perhaps the greatest example of such accomplishments. He guided the Black Knights to 542 victories during a 36-year coaching career that spanned four decades. When he retired, his 542 career wins trailed only the legendary John MacInnes, who amassed 555 wins at Michigan Tech. Today, his wins total still sits in the all-time Top 10. In 1949, the Academy elevated hockey to major sport status, helping turn the program into one of the Academy’s most successful. But it was not until the arrival of the feisty Irishmen with the surname of Riley that Army’s ice fortunes soared. THE RILEY ERA IMPACT It is doubtful that any family can claim to have the impact on a single college athletics program that the Riley family has had at West Point for the last 59 years. From Jack Riley to his sons Rob and Brian, Army hockey has literally been defined by the family’s collaborative efforts for more than five decades. Hired in 1951 by legendary football coach Earl “Red” Blaik, who was also Army’s athletic director, Jack Riley assumed command of the Army program and turned it into a powerhouse squad featuring rugged, physical defensemen and explosive forwards. Riley boasted a wealth of hockey experience, having captained Dartmouth’s hockey team in 1947. Riley was a member of the United States Olympic Team that participated in the 1948 Games in St. Moritz, Switzerland. He served as player-coach of the 1949 U.S. national team that played in the World Championships in Stockholm, Sweden. Riley scored both goals as the U.S. dealt eventual champ Czechoslovakia a 2-0 loss, its lone defeat of the tournament.
ARMY HOCKEY PAGE 78
ARMY HOCKEY HISTORY While at Army, Riley garnered NCAA “Coach of the Year” honors in 1957 and 1960. Following his selection in 1960, he was tabbed as head coach of the United States Olympic Team for the 1960 Games at Squaw Valley, Calif That team became the first American squad ever to beat the mighty Russian dynasty en route to the United States’ first-ever gold medal in hockey. Army goalie Larry Palmer was a reserve on that team and remains the only Army hockey player to participate in the Olympics. Palmer’s trip to Squaw Valley came after a splendid career in which he won 37 games and amassed 1,576 saves, both Academy records when he departed. Ed Crowley (USMA ’46) served as an alternate for the 1948 Olympic team, but did not dress for the games. The Black Knights have had other players compete internationally, most notably Paul DeGironimo, who performed for the 1988 U.S. Olympic Team on its pre-Olympic tour. Throughout his tenure at West Point, Riley continuously carved successful teams from the players he could glean from the Corps of Cadets. Among the finest hockey defensemen ever to pass through Riley’s program was Pete Dawkins, who won college football’s Heisman Trophy in 1958, and was First Captain of the Corps of Cadets. Dawkins graduated with 95 career points, a record for defensemen that has since been broken. After struggling through two dismal seasons at the opening of his tenure, Riley reversed the Army hockey slide by forging an 8-8 record in 195253 and a 10-7 showing in 1953-54. Including those initial two campaigns, Riley teams would post winning seasons in 29 of his 36 years behind the bench. The Academy bestowed upon Riley yet another prestigious honor, electing the legendary hockey mentor into the Hall of Army Sports as a member of its inaugural Class of 2004. “I never expected anything like this,” Riley said upon his induction into the Hall of Army Sports Hall of Fame. “It is the biggest thrill in all my years in sports.” A FATHER AND TWO SONS As expected, there were many changes in the program’s structure during Riley’s tenure. Army bounced from Division I to Division II and back again during the 1970s. The Black Knights entered into conference play in the 1980s, and moved into a brand new home in the fall of 1985. A move to the highly competitive Eastern College Athletic Conference in 1985-86 coincided with the arrival of Jack’s son, Rob, to West Point. However, after five hard-fought campaigns in the ECAC, Army returned to its independent status in 1991-92 and flourished once again. Under Rob’s tutelage, the Black Knights posted back-to-back 20-win seasons as an independent, including a 24-9-1 ledger in 1995-96. However, Army again joined the conference ranks, affiliating itself with College Hockey America. The Black Knights would only spend one season in the CHA. In 2000-01, a move to the MAAC was made. That residence was short-lived as well when Army and eight other MAAC schools broke away from the predominantly basketball conference and formed a “hockey-only” conference. The Atlantic Hockey Association was born in July of 2003. Rob carried on the family tradition, picking up the torch when his father passed it off and emerged from his long shadow while leaving his own indelible mark on the West Point hockey program. The boy who grew up watching his father guide the Army hockey fortunes won his 300th career game on Jan. 3, 2004. Together, the Riley’s are the all-time winningest father-son tandem, racking up 848 career wins. In the summer of 2004, Rob Riley stepped down as head coach and turned over the program and the family legacy to his younger brother, Bri-
an. The fourth in a family of five children, Brian won more games (11) in his first season behind the Black Knights’ bench than any other previous mentor. He also accomplished something his father and brother, were unable to – beating RMC on his first try. Brian began to establish his own legacy by earning three consecutive Atlantic Hockey Association “Coach of the Year” certificates and leading the Black Knights to the playoffs in each of his seasons as head coach. ARMY’S HOCKEY TRADITIONS Though the Riley name may be synonymous with Army hockey, a myriad of players have left their mark along the banks of the Hudson. Each has helped weave the fabric of a program long recognized for its place among the best in college hockey. Such standouts include: LeRoy Bartlett, the captain of Army’s first two teams who returned to coach in 1911 and 1912; Frederic and Joseph Tate, two brothers who died during World War II and for whom Tate Rink is named; and Henry “Hal” Beukema, team captain of the 1944 team who died during a training mission near Langley Air Force Base in 1954. The team’s “Most Valuable Player” award bears his name. There have been others as well, including defenseman Ed Hickey; forwards Dave Merhar, Dave Rost, Tom Rost, George Clark, Andy Lundbohm and Dan Hinote; and goalies Brad Roberts, Ron Chisholm, Dan Scioletti, Neil Mieras and Daryl Chamberlain. Merhar and Clark led the nation in scoring as seniors. Merhar posted Academy records with 107 points and 57 goals in his senior year of 1969. Clark, meanwhile, amassed 83 points in 1974-75, while posting 47 goals in his junior and senior campaigns. In 1976-77, Dave Rost surpassed Merhar’s single-season scoring record with 108 points on the strength of 65 assists – one shy of his own school-record of 66 established during the 1974-75 season. Rost became the second hockey alumni inducted into the Hall of Army Sports in November 2005. Lundbohm, a 1999 graduate and two-time Beukema Award winner, joined the professional hockey ranks. A free-agent signee out of college by the San Jose Sharks, Lundbohm spent two seasons in the American Hockey League with the Sharks’ top farm club before succumbing to a series of knee injuries, which forced his retirement from professional hockey a couple of years ago. Hinote, a former linemate of Lundbohm’s in 1995-96, was selected in the seventh round of the 1996 NHL entry draft by the Colorado Avalanche. The Minnesota native played a large role in the Avalanche’s victory over the New Jersey Devils in the Stanley Cup Finals in 2001. He completed his fifth season in the NHL in 2003-04, helping Colorado to a second-place finish in the Northwest Division and the fourth best record in the Western Conference. Goalie Brad Roberts, who earned the Army Athletic Association Award, the Academy’s top athletic honor, also pursued a professional career. He competed for the Youngstown Steelhounds of the Central Hockey League for two seasons. He compiled a 23-12-4 record in 41 games two years ago and was named the team’s “Rookie of the Year” after finishing third in the CHL with wins. In 2007-08, he played in 13 games with a 6-5-1 mark before continuing his military career. Recently, goalie Josh Kassel became Army’s first Division I All-American with a stellar junior season in goal while earning Atlantic Hockey Association Player of the Year honors following the 2007-08 season. Zach McKelvie, named the Defenseman of the Year that same season, became Army’s first two-time first-team Atlantic Hockey all-star with honors his junior and senior seasons and was signed to a free agent contract by the Boston Bruins organization before pursuing his military commitment.

ARMY VS. RMC RIVALRY Rivalries make sporting events special. International rivalries make them personal. The Army-Royal Military College rivalry celebrated 75 years during the 2005-06 season and it was billed as a continuation of the “oldest continuous international rivalry in sports.” The two teams have not played since a 3-3 tie in Kingston, Ontario on February 11, 2006 but there is denying the history of the competition. A grudge match that spans international borders and began with Brig. Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Maj. Gen. Sir Archibald MacDonnell 77 years ago was as vibrant and fierce in the 21st Century as it was in the Roaring ’20s. Rob Riley, former coach and older brother to current head coach Brian Riley, tilted the international rivalry with their Canadian counterparts north of the border upon assuming the reins from his father, Jack, in 1986-87. Army authored a 12-game unbeaten streak (10-0-2) against RMC after a 4-3 setback in Riley’s first season. Since then, the Black Knights won five of the final seven meetings to hold a 10-game advantage in the overall series. Included in Riley’s run of success was a streak of seven straight victories in which
Army outscored RMC, 41-9. Over the years, the rivalry took on epic proportions similar to the Army-Navy football contest. “The RMC game is a great experience because not only are you playing another military academy, but you are representing your country as well,” said Col. (Ret.) Jim Knowlton, former forward for the Black Knights. “(Army) always played with additional intensity, and the game was one of the most physical of the season. It is a great battle that takes everyone’s game to the next level.” The Military Academy also recognized the importance of the rivalry. Any athlete who participates in a win over RMC receives a gold maple leaf to be worn over his or her varsity “A” letter. Athletes who secure wins over Navy receive a gold star, while wins over Air Force earn a silver star. The idea of a hockey matchup between the Canadian and American service academies sprouted in 1921 from then Brig. General Douglas MacArthur. MacArthur, then the superintendent of the Military Academy, wrote a letter to Maj. Gen. Sir Archibald MacDonnell, commandant of RMC, to suggest that the two military schools play. Letters and ideas continued to be exchanged between the two academy leaders
ARMY VS. RMC SERIES Overall Series: Army leads, 39-29-7 Army Record at West Point: 25-12-1 Army Record in Kingston: 14-17-6 and details were finalized. On Feb. 23, 1923, a party of Royal Military College officers and cadets traveled to West Point for the first game. That inaugural contest was played on a natural rink adjacent to the West Point Gymnasium, now known as Arvin Gym. The Black Knights, who began playing hockey in 1904, used that open-air surface until they moved into Smith Rink on Jan. 31, 1931. The Paladins won that first game, 3-0. The New York Tribune gave the following account of that first encounter, “Army was beaten at hockey today by the Royal Military College of Kingston, Ontario. The Canadian cadets excelled the Army men all the way, displaying the best all around form seen here in years. Hamilton and the two Carr-Harrises were the outstanding stars on the Canadian team. Beano (the Army goalie), was a busy man and made some truly remarkable saves ... The game was one of the cleanest fought contests staged here this winter, and was marked by a fine display of sportsmanship on both sides.”

ARMY VS. RMC RIVALRY In commemoration of that first game, RMC presented a cup known as the “Challenge Trophy” to the United States Military Academy. Although the trophy was expected to remain at West Point, a myth arose in the early years of the series that the trophy was presented to the losing team. The following winter, 1924, the Black Knights traveled to Kingston. Army had played hockey since 1904 (138 games) and this was the first contest away from West Point. In fact, with the exception of their trips to Canada every other year, Army continued to play only home games until 1941. Royal Military College won that 1924 tilt 10-5, ruining the homecoming of first-year Army coach Ray Marchand. The Pointer, the Corps newspaper, said of this game, “... Moreover, stronger opponents than the Canadian cadets could hardly have been found anywhere. That the men emerged on the short end of the score as close as Former Superintendent Gen. Bill Lennox and Joe Dudek ten to five is little short of miraculous. following Army’s 4-0 win at West Point in 2003 “The international contest was noteworthy also for the clean sportsmanship that prevailed.

one game of overtaking RMC in the series. At that time, the Paladins held a slight 26-25-4 edge. But with the arrival of Riley’s son, Rob, to the bench, Army dominated its military brothers. The Black Knights did not lose to the Royal Military College of Canada in the 1990s. Two ties, in 1990 and 1998, were the only blemishes on an otherwise spectacular 10-year run. RMC’s 3-0 win in 2000 ended a 12-game unbeaten streak and got the Paladins off to a good start in the new millennium. However, Army rebounded with a big win at Tate Rink in 2001 that had tipped the scales in the Americans’ favor once again. In 2003 as a salute to both country’s men and women defending the world’s freedom overseas, the National Hockey League supplied officials for the contest held in the Kingston Memorial Centre. Former RMC head coach Danny MacLeod contacted the NHL, which was able to comply with the former coaching legend’s request as most officials enjoyed a weekend off for the professional league’s annual all-star game. Jack Riley, who coached Army Hockey from 1951 through 1986, was behind the bench for 22 victories, finishing his career with a 22-11-3 (.653) record against the Paladins. Rob etched a remarkable 13-3-2 (.778) account in his 18 seasons at the helm, while Marchand posted two victories and Len Patten added the other. In 2005, Brian Riley notched a victory in his first game versus RMC, accomplishing something his father and brother failed to do. Four years ago, Army and RMC skated to a 3-3 draw in Kingston. Together, the Riley family has accounted for 36 of Army’s 39 wins in the history of the series. Although the rivalry began as a hockeyonly battle, the rivalry has expanded over the years to include competition in rifle, pistol, men’s volleyball, karate, judo and debating. The annual encounter with RMC is billed as “RMC Weekend” at the military academy. The atmosphere in the arena always resembles that of an Olympic event, complete with spectators waving their country’s flag in support of their team.

Tom Garver (West Point, N.Y.) A local product from West Point, N.Y., Tom Garver is the measuring stick by which all modern day Army goalies are judged. Garver entered the Academy in 1973 and started every game that season for the Black Knights. His 75 career victories and 2,858 career saves are both school records. Garver was selected to the second team All-East squad in 1977, the same season that Dave Rost was named first team All-East.

Goalie Josh Kassel became Army’s first Division I All-American selection with a phenomenal junior season in 2007-08. The 6-2, 180-pound Kassel earned second-team honors after posting an 18-10-2 record that included five shutouts, a 1.92 goals against average and a .925 save percentage. Kassel beat #20 Air Force by identical 2-1 scores in a pair of games that were nationally televised. Twice, he registered back-to-back shutouts and was named the Atlantic Hockey Association Player of the Year, the first goalie to earn the honor. While the first Division I All-American, Kassel is the fourth Army player to be recognized on a national stage. Forwards George Clark and Dave Rost and goalie Tom Garver were all honored prior to the Black Knights’ Division I affiliation. ARMY HOCKEY PAGE 82
Dave Rost (Buffalo, N.Y.) Army’s all-time leading scorer (330 points) and the only Black Knight to reach 300 points and 200 assists in a career. Rost posted nine hat tricks during the 1976-77 season, a campaign that saw him break the school record for points in a single season (108). He was a first team pick in 1977.

TWO SEASONS TO REMEMBER During an era when hockey greatness was judged by 50 goals in 50 games, Army hockey established its own measuring stick when Dave Merhar scored 57 goals in 28 games and finished the season with 107 points. Eight years later, another Dave came along and surpassed Merhar’s seemingly unbreakable record by one point. Considered two of the finest hockey players ever to pass through the Academy’s iron gates, Dave Rost and Dave Merhar are the only cadets to top the 100-point plateau in a single season. Merhar and Rost are one of only 12 college hockey players ever to author a 100-point campaign in NCAA history. Merhar was the first to do it, with a Dave Rost magical 57-goal, 50-assist campaign in just 28 games in 1968-69. Rost one-upped Merhar’s mark with a 108-point season (43G, 65A) that has stood as the Army record for the past 39 years. Prior to Merhar’s 107-point season, the previous school record had belonged to Mike Thompson, Rost’s 1976-77 Breakdown Opponent G A Pts.

who totaled 66 points in 1963-64. Surrounded by a solid supporting cast that included classmates Tony Curran and John Ahlbrecht, Merhar led the Black Knights to just their second 20-win season in 1968-69. Merhar had a point in all 28 contests and was held without a goal on just three occasions. He finished with six points or more seven different times during the season. He scored a seasonhigh five goals at the University of Pennsylvania in a 9-6 win. His 100-point effort established a new NCAA single-season scoring record and made him a charter member of the 100-point club. Before 1968-69, no other college hockey player had ever scored 100 points in a single season. Merhar posted these amazing numbers against some of the top college hockey competition in the East. The Black Knights faced nine of the 10 schools that comprise the powerful Hockey East today. Boston College, Northeastern and New Hampshire all dotted Army’s schedule. The Ely, Minn., native registered 17 points in those nine contests. The demands of playing a challenging Division I schedule did not slow the progress of the Black Knights’ star forward. Merhar also set a number of school records, two of which still stand today. He strung together a streak of 15 consecutive games in which he scored a goal, stretching from Jan. 11 (vs. St. Nick’s) to Feb. 24 (vs. Connecticut). Army was 11-4 during that stretch. Merhar also turned in nine hat tricks during the season, a record that was tied by Rost during his record-setting campaign but never surpassed. The 1976-77 season was also a terrific campaign for Army. Led by Rost’s record-setting production, the Black Knights went 22-6-1 and outscored their opponents by a two-to-one margin, 202-101. Tom Rost, Dave’s brother, and John Harrison gave the Black Knights more than just one weapon in Army’s arsenal. With 78 and 74 points, respectively, Tom Rost and Harrison authored two of the top 20 single season scoring efforts in Academy annals. In addition, Tom Rost posted 97 points (40G, 57A) in 1979-80, good for third highest in Academy history. That is the closest anybody has come to the century mark at Army since. Dave Rost scored nine times against Bryant in an early-season 11-2 victory. Like Merhar, Rost earned a point in every game that season. Rost was particularly destructive to the visitor’s from the north. He posted 10 points in a weekend series against Canada’s College Militaire Royal, and registered a hat trick along with an assist on the last day of the season against the Royal Military College. That performance pushed him past Merhar for the single-season record. Rost finished the 1976-77 campaign tied with Clarkson’s Dave Taylor as the nation’s leading scorer. Their 108 points that winter also broke Merhar’s NCAA single-season mark. Their standard would last another eight years until 1985.
ARMY HOCKEY PAGE 83
It was Rost’s late season push that eventually won him the school and NCAA record. Rost scored four points in each of his last three games, including two hat tricks. His 65 assists fell one shy of his own record of 66 set two years earlier. Rost tied Merhar’s record of nine hat tricks that season. His 43 goals is the fourth highest total in Academy history. The high-scoring forward became Army’s second All-American. He finished his career as Army’s all-time leading scorer with 330 points, while also establishing an NCAA Division II record. In addition, Rost set the school’s single-season mark for assists in both a single season (66) and a career (226). Rost became part of the Army Athletic Association’s second Hall of Fame class in NovemDave Merhar ber 2005 when he was inducted into the Army Sports Hall of Fame. Merhar was similarly honored in 2006, joining legendary coach Jack Riley as the first three predominantly associated with the hockey program to be honored.

TEAM AWARDS Henry “Hal” Beukema (USMA ’44) was the captain of the 1944 Army hockey team and the son of a distinguished department head at the Academy. Following his graduation from West Point, Beukema became an Air Force pilot and served overseas in Berlin as well as in the states at Barksdale AFB in Louisiana. He died in a crash near Langley AFB in George Clark Virginia on Jan. 19, 1954, after achieving the rank of major. The Beukema Award, which was initiated in 1955, is given each year in the memory of Maj. Beukema to the Army hockey team’s most valuable player. Ed Hickey was the first recipient of the Beukema Award. Over the past 51 years, the award has gone to the Army team captain a total of 22 times. From 1982 to 1986, the award Dave Rost went to the Army captain each year. Mike Fairman (USMA ’01) became just the fifth player in Army history to receive the honor twice when he took home the award in 2000 and 2001. He joined the illustrious company of former greats: Dave Merhar, 1968-69; George Clark, 1974-75; Dave Rost, 1976-77; and Andy Lundbohm, 1998-99. Joe Carpenter, Joe Dudek and Jon Boyle all epitoMike Fairman mized the ideal of a team most valuable player, putting the best interests of the team ahead of their own personal aspirations. Both Carpenter and Dudek, recruited forwards under former coach Rob Riley, switched to defense during their careers to help a unit that lacked depth.

TEAM AWARDS HAGGERTY AWARD
This honor is presented annually to the Army hockey player who displays courage, determination and perseverance throughout the season. The Army hockey program was hit with a devastating setback on April 13, 1998, when Paul Haggerty — a 1991 West Point graduate, three-year letterman for the Army hockey team and an assistant coach under Rob Riley since 1996 — died suddenly during a workout. A former Beukema Award winner, Haggerty led Army with 16 goals during his senior season and was second on the team with 25 points. A tough, hard-skating forward, he spent his senior season on the Black Knights’ top line. He appeared in 86 games during his four-year career, missing only four contests over his final three seasons and registering 27 goals and 43 points. Prior to his call-up to the varsity, Haggerty spent time with the jayvees during his freshman year. 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010

This accolade is presented in recognition of the Cadet who displays the qualities of “academic excellence, selfless dedication to his teammates, being a trusted friend, maintaining a sense of humor, playing through pain and adversity, and demonstrating a true love for hockey.” The Michael J. Gunning Award is named in honor of the late Cadet letterman that died Oct. 12, 1996, following a hit-and-run accident in Dallas, Texas. Gunning, a 1996 USMA graduate, was a 2nd Lt. stationed at Ft.

DEREK HINES AWARD
The Derek S. Hines Award recognizes a person who has displayed an extraordinary amount of support toward the Army Hockey Program. Like Derek, this person has always cared more about giving than receiving, while displaying a great passion and love for Army Hockey. The Army hockey family added a fifth team award to its list of postseason honors in 2006 in order to recognize Hines, who was killed in action on September 1, 2005. A scrappy and hard-nosed player, who earned four varsity letters and graduated from the Academy in 2003, Hines was a fan favorite and one of the most respected players in the Black Knights’ locker room. The first Derek S. Hines Award was presented to Sid Rosner, a retired college hockey referee and long-time supporter of Army hockey. Rosner, a loyal fan and friend of Army hockey for more than 50 years, was also instrumental in starting the youth hockey program at West Point, along with Jack Riley and Charlie Weyant. Dave Weyant was honored with the second award for exemplifying those qualities through his involvement with West Point’s youth hockey program and his continued work as an off ice official at Tate Rink for Army’s home games. Athletic Trainer Tim Kelly was the third recipient of the Hines Award. A veteran of more than 20 years at West Point, Kelly was honored for his selfless and dedicated work with the hockey program. Cadet manager David Horvath is the most recent recipent of the award. Horvath worked tirelessy behind the scenes during his four years with the program and assisted the team in a multitude of ways. 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010

ARMY HOCKEY AND THE AAA AWARD One of the most prestigious awards Army presents to its senior cadet-athletes is the Army Athletic Association Award. The honor has been bestowed every year since 1904 and like most things involving athletics at West Point, Army hockey has a major presence. Twelve hockey players have been presented with the AAA Award, an honor given to the most outstanding athlete of the senior class. Defenseman Zach McKelvie is the most recent hockey player to earn the honor. McKelvie played in 136 games during his career, scored 14 goals and handed out 44 assists. One of the fastest skaters in recent memory, McKelvie was a four-year contirbutor on special teams as well and was a two-time captain. McKelvie is the third hockey-only player to win the award. Brad Roberts, a four-year letterwinner and one of the greatest goaltenders in the history of the program, was the second hockey-only player to be recognized. Andy Lundbohm in 1999 was the first. Maurice Daly, a two-time letterman was the first hockey player to receive the award, in 1927. John Boretti also has his name on the trophy, along with 1959 recipient Pete Dawkins, who also won college football’s Heisman Trophy that same year. Under legendary head coach Jack Riley, a member of the hockey family twice won the Athletic Association’s top honor three times over a four-year period. A hockey star walked home with the athletic department’s highest honor three times between 1956 and 1959, and again between 1965 and 1968.
