On December 1st, 2012 Army Hockey  honored Major Tom Kennedy, a former player, hockey team officer representative, and 2000 graduate of the USMA.
Major Kennedy was killed in action in Afghanistan in August of 2012.
He was a true american hero.
His initials, TK, are on two locations on the ice along with an american flag.

Ceremonies were held prior to, and after the game with AIC at a sold out Tate Rink at West Point.
Major Kennedy's family was in attendance for the ceremonies.
At the end of the game, the Army alma mater was played as a pair of gloves and a helmet were placed on the blue line in Major Kennedy's honor.
Army's jerseys all bore Kennedy's name.

              Below are photos of the evening's cermony and game, which Army won, 3-2.
