History

edit

The ice hockey team at RMC can trace its origin back to 1886 when it took part in the first game ever played in Ontario.[2]

Rivalries

edit
Main article: Army–Royal Military College men's ice hockey rivalry

In 1886, a group of cadets from RMC met a team made of undergraduates from Queen's and the two played their first ice hockey game in Kingston harbor. That began the world's oldest ice hockey rivalry.[3] On the 100th anniversary of that match, the Carr-Harris Cup was conferred by the International Hockey Hall of Fame and has been awarded to the winner ever since.[4]

RMC is also responsible for the oldest international ice hockey rivalry with its battles against Army dating back to 1923. There have been two gaps in play, as well as a few cancelled matches over the years but the series has remained in place with the two facing off once per year. RMC held the advantage in the early years, winning the first 11 meetings, however, since World War II, the series has been dominated by Army.[5]
