13666 Colonel Steve Noonan with 12984 classmate Lt. Colonel Steve Laplante, from the RMC Class of 1982, both currently serving in Afghanistan. 

I played four times in the RMC / West Point series from 1979-82.  We were 2-2.  Our team got hammered both times we played at West Point.  We beat them both times in Kingston.  John Forrington always played well against Army and I think he had a couple of hat tricks, one in a 12-4 losing effort.  At least he came to play.   

My highlight was scoring the winning goal with about five minutes left in a 4-3 victory where our line of BJ Lamb, John Forrington and I accounted for all the Redmen scoring.  Our other forwards and defencemen were great by taking care of things in our end of the rink.  Andy Scott was brilliant in goal.  One of those moments you can savour for a lifetime.  

I, also think it allowed me to escape fourth year without any supplemental exams (Doc Kirk being the coach).  Anyways, a great rivalry between two teams whose main attributes were fitness and toughness.  Always felt sore after those games for some reason.

Varsity Hockey Sept 83- Mar 87

Years played against West Point 84, 85, and 87 – broken wrist in 86 

Sorry no photo.  I can however tell you that I am going bald from the back.  Currently working and living in Peru in the mining industry with Compania Minera Antamina S.A. with my Family.  We will be returning to Canada in July 06. 

My memories are winning in 84 on home ice 8-5 and rookies scored 7 of the eight goals.  I hope my facts are correct. 

I will also never forget 1987.  West Point had won the last two years ‘85 and ‘86.  They had just moved up to Division I Hockey in the NCAA and it was our first meeting in their new arena.  We won 4-3 (a big upset) and the ensuing party on the West Point campus after the game was enjoyed by the entire team and bus load of parents and fans that joined us that year at West Point.
