| Army Black Knights men's ice hockey seasons « 2024–25 2026–27 » | |
The 2025–26 Army Black Knights men's ice hockey season was the 123rd season of play for the program, the 116th at the Division I level, and the 2nd in Atlantic Hockey America. The Black Knights represented the United States Military Academy in the 2025–26 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season, played their home games at the Tate Rink and were coached by Zach McKelvie in his 1st season.
Season
With the departure of their All-American defenseman, Mac Gadowsky, Army's first task was to try and find a way to replace his offensive contributions. While the Knights were one of the nation's most stable lineups, only losing one player outside of graduation, Army's ability to recruit is always limited due to the requirements of military service. While the team was able to put together a modest offense, the Knights were were unable to overcome a poor November from their starting goaltender, J. J. Cataldo. The 9-game winless streak put Army behind the eight ball, particularly in the conference standings. A rare appearance in goal by Jacob Biron coincided with the end of the skid and when Cataldo got back into the cage two games later, his performance improved mightily.
Army posted a winning record after Thanksgiving with the balk half of their season dominated by outstanding play in goal. Nine times, shutouts were recorded in Black Knights games (4 for and 5 against) with the final two happening in the same game. The even play resulted in Army treading water throughout the latter portion of the regular season and, though they came close to earning a postseason home game, they were unable to overcome their poor start.
The conference postseason began with Army travelling to face Niagara. The Knights found themselves down by three goals after one period but used the second to fight back. With the game tied after 40 minutes, Army took a lead midway through the third. With momentum seemingly on their side, the Knights were stunned 14 seconds later when the Purple Eagles knotted the score at 4-all. A subsequent power play goal by Niagara proved too much for the Knights to overcome and their season was over.[1]
