The team finished with a record of 3–10–0, competing as an NCAA Division I independent. The season was coached by Ray Marchand in his 6th year at the helm. A colder winter allowed the team to return to a full schedule at the Stuart Rink for the first time in three years. Despite opening the season with a victory, Army dropped eight consecutive games before recovering to win two of their final four contests. Team captain Normando Costello, who played goal, was recognized as the team's best player throughout the season. Season The 1928–29 season coincided with colder winter temperatures than the program had experienced in recent years. The dip in temperature allowed the team to return to a full schedule on the Stuart Rink for the first time in three years. The lack of practice time over that stretch continued to affect the team's performance, and after opening the season with a win, Army dropped eight contests in a row. During the losing streak, the Cadets were rarely competitive; however, results gradually improved as the season progressed. Team captain Normando Costello was lauded for his play in goal and was regarded as the team's best player for much of the season. Observers attributed the high number of goals allowed primarily to the poor play of the team's skaters.http://digital-library.usma.edu/digital/collection/howitzers/id/6618/rec/28 1929 Howitzer U.S. Military Academy January 14, 2023 Regular access to Stuart Rink for most of the season allowed Marchand to develop greater cohesion within the team. In the last four games of the year, Army was able to score at least three goals in each game, a far cry from the 13 total markers they had earned in the first nine matches. The steady improvement gave hope to observers that Army could soon produce a winning season. Roster yes Marshall S. Carter Marshall Carter so LW 1909 9 16 USA Fort Monroe, Virginia yes Frederic H.
