The Cadets represented the United States Military Academy in the 1947–48 NCAA men's ice hockey season, played their home games at Smith Rink and were coached by Len Patten, in his 3rd season. Season Army began the season with few expectations for its ice hockey program. While the Cadets were members of the Pentagonal League, they had gone winless against the other four members the year before and, as a result, only scheduled one game against their four other teams as opposed to the normal two. However, when the Cadets began their season they were performing better than they had in years. After opening the season with a win, Army defeated Yale in what was considered to be a major upset.Hockey Team Upset West Point Six Triumphs, 4-3 Allen Nets Two Goals In First Eli https://ydnhistorical.library.yale.edu/?a=d&d=YDN19480112-01.2.25&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Yale Daily News January 12, 1948 February 9, 2023 Army flagged a bit in their next match, losing to Colgate but then rallied to dominate in two shutout victories, albeit against inferior competition. By the end of January Army was sitting with an enviable record with both of their close losses coming against strong foes. They travelled to Boston for just their second road game of the year and were humbled by Harvard to the tune of 1–7. The Cadets returned to West Point to lick their wounds and then took revenge against a hapless Lehigh squad, nearly equaling the 12–1 drubbing they had handed out the year before. In Army's showdown with Dartmouth, the Cadets faced off against the top team in the nation. Though they lost the match, the fact that they were able to keep the score close indicated just how far they had come. The team finished out the season without another loss and were able to defeat Princeton to finish 3rd in the Pentagonal League. Army set a new program record for wins in a season and produced what was probably the best season in program history to that point. Roster yes Albert M.
