[edit] Franchise history

Patrick Toffler in 2006

The Black Knights began play in the 2002-2003 season as members of the Eastern Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (ECRHA). Bryan Dougherty founded the club with the goal of competing in the NCRHA and extending the physical program at the military academy into the realm of roller hockey. The Black Knights have struggled to gain legitimacy as a club team at the academy, but in the 2006-2007 season fared well enough to travel to Key West for the Winterfest where they were the runner-up. While they have a team-best record of 7-15-1, and an overall record of 12-64-1, the Army Black Knights have continued to improve with every game and have demonstrated their poetential with a 4-3 win over the DI regional runner-ups SUNY Buffalo in 2007. In their first season at the Division I level, the Black Knights skated to a 4-1 victory over Drexel, one of the top teams in DII, and lost a nail-bitter to DII champions Stony Brook. They also finished ahead of conference rivals Boston University and Northeastern at the end of the regular season.

[edit] Team Awards

Eric Kinney Perseverance Award

The Eric Kinney Perseverance Award started after the 2006-07 season in order to celebrate Eric Kinney's greatest asset: Perseverance. While not the best player on the team, Kinney never gave up on the dream of making it into the big show. This award is given annually to the player who best demonstrates the uncanny ability to persevere despite having the deck stacked against them.

2007- Erik Kinney
2008- Adam Angerami

Mike Coughlin Achievement Award

The Mike Coughlin Achievement Award started after the 2007-08 season in order to celebrate our fallen comrade, Mike Coughlin. Mike served the team well by coordinating a slew of items behind the scenes, as well as talking to the big brass to get things done. Mike was forced to leave the team and Academy early due to off the ice issues. This award is presented to the individual on the team who best embodies Mike Coughlin in their ability to get busy and to make things happen, both on and off the ice.

2008- Drew Beavers

Chris "Legend" Bilec Celebration Award

The Chris Legend Bilec Celebration Award started during the 2007-08 season as a way to increase team morale and bring the fun back that a certain captain tried to kill. "Legend" took it upon himself to charge the team, and in his honor, this award is named.

2008- Chris Bilec--Center Ice Sniper Attack (Assist to Matt Condon)
