The 2018 Knights of Columbus Monsignor James S. Conlan Council #5329 Army Hockey Group Outing happened on Saturday, February 24, 2018 at Tate Rink in West Point, New York. This group outing was started last year (2017) and is always a fun time. Even if you do not follow NCAA Hockey or are a West Point Military Academy Army Black Knights Hockey fan the event proves to be a fun time. The action is fast paced and there is not a bad seat in the house since Tate Rink is a small venue. This year Army played the Sacred Heart University Pioneers.
The game was exciting and Army pulled off a 4-3 win against SHU. The full game recap can be found here. It was a great way for Army to end their season. The Cadet Seniors were honored as this was Army Hockey’s last home game for the season before play offs. The win also clinched a bye week for Army in their play off bracket. The night closed with the traditional signing of the West Point’s theme “On, Brave Old Army Team”. This song is sung by Army at the end of all its Athletics seasons. The singing of Army’s motto song is moment of pride in both country and service as you know these brave cadets will be one day be proudly serving our nation as commissioned officers in the US Army.
It was an evening of patriotism and fraternity– a fitting way for Brother Knights to celebrate our brave men and women of the Armed Services, as well as, our country the United States of America.
We hope you will join us next year and a special thank you to Deputy Grand Knight Joe Ditizio for organizing the event!!
