WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Army hockey team is traveling to Kingston, Ontario, in search of its fifth-straight win over the Royal Military College on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. in the longest-running international collegiate rivalry.
The historic series dates back to 1923 and was first started with Brig. General Douglas MacArthur, the superintendent of USMA, writing a letter to Maj. Gen. Sir Archibald MacDonnell, commandant of RMC, suggesting they compete. This is the fifth-straight year they have faced off after taking a break from competition from 2006 to 2012. Army travels to Canada for the second time since 2012 and this will be the 80th battle for the Challenge Cup.
