Changes: West Point Weekend

Latest revision as of 04:39, 2 May 2023

The West Point Weekend or RMC-Army Game is the longest running annual international sporting event in the world.

History

First discussed in 1921 between Canadian Major General Sir Archibald McDonnell and West Point Superintendent Brigadier General Douglas MacArthur was a friendly but competitive championship between cadets of both Canada's and the United States' armies.

The first game was played in 1923. RMC presented the Challenge Trophy to the Army in commemoration of the first game.

The US Army awards any member of an Army team that beats RMC with a gold star that goes over the "A" on their jersey to commemorate the accomplishment. As of 2007, Army leads the all-time series 39-29-7.

In 2007, the game was cancelled but in 2011 the series was rekindled!
