WEST POINT 2006

This years game marks the 75th time that these two military academies have met on the ice for national bragging rights. For the history of the West Point Weekend hockey game click here.
The 2006 game will be played on Saturday 11 February in Kingston, Ontario at the Kingston Memorial Center at 7:30 pm EST. The Memorial Center is home to the OHL's Kingson Frontenacs but RMC uses the facility specifically for this game.
At the Memorial Center for the West Point game the entire RMC Cadet Wing, 1000 plus students will be dressed in their red scarlet uniforms and the West Point support crew will be dressed in their Greys. The two large cheering sections are a spectacle to be seen. In addition to the student fans, both schools will have their bands present, RMC with its Pipes & Drums and Brass & Reed band and West Point with their Brass and Reed Band, where the two sides will fight it out with the Battle of the Bands in the Stands.
This game is sold out annually and it is recommended to get advanced tickets to ensure seating.
