LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS


The immortal words of an eastern visitor in 1893 live perpetually at the base of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains.

When teacher and poet Katherine Lee Bates took a wagon ride to the summit of Pikes Peak she was inspired to write a song that is still recited today. Her view from atop the 14,110-foot peak was the basis of her song “America the Beauti-ful”.

The history of Colorado Springs traverses back to 1870 when Gen. William Jackson Palmer first visited the region and was captivated by its gran-deur. A year later, he began designing his city of dreams. From its beginning on the corner of Pikes Peak and Cascade Avenues in downtown Colorado Springs, the city has grown more than 183 square miles and to nearly 400,000 people in the city and 600,000 in the metro area.

Colorado Springs is known nationally for its natural attractions. The Garden of the Gods, the area’s No. 1 natural attraction, is a majestic out-cropping of red sandstone rocks which are more than 300 million years old. Colorado Springs is also home to the Pikes Peak Highway,

a 19-mile drive up the world’s highest toll road. The area’s No. 1 man-made attraction is the Air Force Academy’s Cadet Chapel.

Another major attraction is the Broadmoor Hotel and Resort. Built in the early 1900s, this five-star re-sort, hosted the 1995 U.S. Women’s Open Golf Cham-pionship and the 2008 Senior U.S. Open, and is nestled into the base of Cheyenne Mountain. The Pikes Peak region is home to the nation’s only mountain zoo. The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, with an elevation of more than 6,800-feet, has received several changes in the past two years.

For the outdoors enthusiast, the city and the state offer a plethora of recreational activities. A short drive

to the northwest features some of the nation’s finest ski resorts, includ-ing the cities of Vail and Aspen. A short jaunt to the southwest or north-west will find some of the best white-water rafting, fishing, hiking and cycling that the country has to offer.

Valuing its past with a vision for the future, Colorado Springs is truly a city with unparalleled culture, recreation, growth and opportunity in the 21st century.

Game Day at Cadet Ice ArenaGame Day at Cadet Ice Arena


The Air Force hockey locker room was completed in the fall of 2005. The new locker room is nearly double the size of the old room and features 28 pro-style lockers with large corner areas for the goaltenders. Each team member also has a locker in a changing area that is used for military and civilian clothes. The team room (below), with internet access, gives team members an environment to work on academics, watch a movie or relax with teammates. The audio/visual set-up is second to none with three flat screen TVs, DVD players and more. The TVs and DVD players are also equipped to plug into the team’s computerized video-editing equipment to watch film and have team meetings.

Below: A section of the Air Force hockey hall-way has been dedicated to the former Falcons who have flown, or are flying, in the United States Air Force. Numerous former players have gone on to flying careers and this is a small sampling of those who have moved from the ice to the cockpit.

The strength and conditioning program is dedicated to providing the highest level of athletic development for each player. By focusing on the complete

athlete, while reducing the incidences of injury, the athlete can maximize his performance and minimize downtime from injury. The goal of the program is to develop all of the components of speed and athleticism to the degree

required by Division I hockey.

A short conversation with coach Frank Serratore makes your pulse race a little faster. His enthusiasm and energy for Air Force hockey are that powerful.

As the fourth head coach in the 44 years of Air Force hockey, Serratore was in his office less than a week when he pointed out what it would take to turn the program around.

“We want to be the hardest working team in the country,” Serratore said. “We want to have a team full of over-achievers. Not ev-eryone is blessed with outstanding ability,

but everyone can work hard and play with pride and spirit.”Serratore enters his 16th season at Air Force with a 255-250-51 record at the

Academy. He has an overall mark of 304-342-60 in 19 seasons as a college head coach.

Not only has Serratore turned the Falcon program around, he has turned it into a legitimate national contender with five conference championships and five NCAA appearances in the last six years.

Last season, the Falcons won their second straight AHA title, and fifth in the last six years, as the team finished the season with a 21-11-7 overall record. The Falcons won their first outright AHA regular-season title with a 15-6-6 league record. Midway through the season, Air Force posted a five-game win-ning streak which included a 2-1 win at fifth-ranked Colorado College, the first ever win at the World Arena. After a 4-0 win over second-seeded RIT in the AHA title game, the season came to an end with a 2-0 loss to top-ranked Bos-ton College, the eventual NCAA national champion, in the Northeast Regional.

In 2010-11, the Falcons recovered from a slow start to win its fourth AHA title in five years. The Falcons went 9-2-3 in the final 14 regular season games to earn the No. 2 overall seed. Air Force blanked the regular-season champion, RIT, 1-0, in the championship game. A 2-1 overtime loss to top-seed Yale in the NCAA Tournament ended the Falcons’ season at 20-12-6.

The 2009-10 season was the only one in the last six years that the Falcons watched the NCAA Tournament at home. The Falcons swept Army in the AHA quarterfinals at home but fell on a late goal to Sacred Heart in the AHA semifinals. AFA finished the season 16-15-6 overall and third in the AHA.

The 2008-09 season proved to be the best in school history with a school-record 28 wins, another league championship and the Academy’s first-ever NCAA Tournament victory. Air Force opened the season with a school-record 13 straight wins and rose to No. 10 in the nation, the highest in Academy his-tory. Win No. 13 was a 4-1 win over third-ranked Colorado College to end a 24-year drought vs. the Tigers. As the No. 1 seed in the AHA Final Four, AFA rolled over Bentley and Mercyhurst with back-to-back shutouts to win its third straight title. The first round of the NCAA East Regional put the Fal-cons against third-ranked Michigan. Andrew Volkening made 43 saves as the Falcons earned a 2-0 win. Air Force came within a whisker of the Frozen Four, but 10th-ranked Vermont defeated Air Force in double overtime on a goal that was awarded on video review.

Serratore led Air Force to 21 wins in 2007-08 en route to the second AHA championship and NCAA Tournament berth. Air Force was 21-12-6 overall and finished third in the league. At the AHA Final Five, AFA defeated RIT, 5-0, in the semifinals. The Falcons then needed double-overtime to beat Mercyhurst, 5-4, in the championship game on a goal by Josh Frider. The win sent the Falcons to the NCAA Tournament but second-ranked Miami-Ohio ended the Falcons’ season with a 3-2 overtime loss.

In 2006-07, Air Force won its first-ever conference championship and trip to the NCAA Tournament. AFA faced Minnesota in the West Regional, the overall No. 1 seed in the tournament, and led the Gophers, 3-1, with just over eight minutes left in the third period. However, Minnesota scored three goals in a span of 3:36 for a 4-3 win over the Falcons. AFA ended the season with a 19-16-5 overall record and a 13-10-5 mark for fifth place in the AHA. The Fal-cons became the first service academy team to ever win a conference hockey championship and play in the NCAA Tournament.

In his first season at the Academy, Serratore’s disciplined and aggressive style produced more wins than the previous two seasons combined and the first 15-win season in three years. The first-year coach guided the Falcons to a 15-19 overall record. The season could not have ended on a better note as the Falcons swept Army at West Point.

His second season was no different as he guided one of the nation’s young-est teams to the best winning percentage in four years at the Academy. In 1999-2000, Serratore led the Falcons to the most wins (19) in 23 years and the first winning season (19-18-2) in 10 years. Serratore juggled an injury-riddled and depleted Falcon lineup throughout the 2000-01 season. The Falcons still posted a 16-17-4 record.

A great run at the end of the 2001-02 season capped a 16-16-2 overall re-cord. The Falcons finished fifth in the CHA (6-10-2) and upset fourth-seeded Niagara in the CHA Tournament. In 2002-03, a midseason scoring drought and numerous close losses left the Falcons with a 10-24-3 overall record. Expecta-tions were low as the Falcons were in a rebuilding mode in 2003-04. However, Serratore led the Falcons to a 14-21-2 record, tying the then-school record with 14 Division I wins. The Falcons also defeated two teams that went to the NCAA Tournament (Miami-Ohio and Holy Cross).

Serratore, 55, came to the Academy from the Manitoba Moose of the Inter-national Hockey League, where he was the director of hockey operations in 1996. He was the head coach and general manager of the Minnesota Moose (before they moved to Manitoba) in 1994 and 1995.

Prior to his position in Manitoba, Serratore was the head coach at the Uni-versity of Denver from 1990-1994. During that time, he led the Pioneers to a 49-91-9 record in four seasons and is credited with rebuilding a struggling Pioneer program. In 1995 and 1997, Pioneer teams which were recruited dur-ing his tenure made two NCAA final eight appearances and placed third in the WCHA.

Before taking over the reins at DU, Serratore was the coach and general manager of the Omaha Lancers of the United States Junior Hockey League. In one season, he took over a last-place team and led them to the USHL regular season and playoff championship. The worst-to-first Cinderella season earned Serratore the USHL General Manager of the Year and the Omaha Sportscast-ers Sportsman of the Year awards in 1990.

His other coaching experiences have been as the assistant coach at the University of North Dakota (1987-89), the head coach and general manager of the Rochester Mustangs (1985-87) and the Austin Mavericks (1983-85) of the U.S. Junior Hockey League. During his tenure in the USHL, he won three league championships and was runner-up twice while posting a 247-103-6 record. In 1987, he led Rochester to the USA Hockey national championship. While coaching in the USHL, he was named general manager of the year twice and coach of the year once.

Serratore attended Western Michigan University from 1977-79 before earn-ing his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Bemidji State University in 1982. He lettered four years in hockey at the two schools playing goalie. He then earned a master’s degree in athletic administration/physical education from North Dakota in 1994. He played two seasons for the St. Paul Vulcans (USHL) from 1975-77 and had a brief stint with the Nashville South Stars (Central Hockey League) in 1982.

The native of Coleraine, Minn., is no stranger to coaching at the Olympic de-velopment level. In August 2003, Serratore was the head coach of the United States Under-17 Team that won the gold medal at the Five Nations Tourna-ment in Prievizda, Slovakia. He has coached at two USA Hockey Olympic Sports Festivals and has been the coach of the USA Hockey Development Program since 1985. In 1993, he coached the West team to the silver medal at the U.S. Olympic Sports Festival in San Antonio, Texas.

Serratore is married to the former Carol Samec of St. Paul, Minn. They have four children, twin boys Thomas and Timothy (23) and two daughters, Carly (22) and Carina (17).

Q: Air Force was picked to win the conference by the league’s coaches. Does that put added expectations on the team? Do you feel it is a curse”

A: We have been picked to win the league before and we went out and won it. It hasn’t been a curse before and there is no reason it has to be now. Our expectations are to finish as high as we can in the regular season, play our best hockey in Febru-ary and March, win the playoffs, go to the NCAA Tournament and knock some-body off this year. I’m not afraid to say that. Being picked to win the league shows what other people think of us. We think of ourselves that same way. Being picked first should only strengthen our confidence and fuel our motivation. This is not our first rodeo, we know how tough it is to win at this level. We know how competi-tive our league is, and with that, we learned a long time ago not take any opponent lightly. When the dust settles, we expect to be right in the thick of things.

Q: Recruiting has always been a top priority for you and your staff. What chal-lenges are involved with recruiting at the Academy?

A: Recruiting is selling and good salesmen believe in the product they are sell-ing. I believe this philosophy has allowed our staff to do a fine job in recruiting good hockey players to the Air Force Academy. Recruiting at the Division I level has become increasingly difficult over the last several years. There are more college hockey teams now than ever before. The challenges at the Academy are many. When I was at Denver, we were limited to 18 scholarships and it cost over $25,000 (now nearly $50,000) a year to attend school. Here at the Academy, we don’t have the scholarship limitations, but we have different kinds of obstacles to overcome. Aside from the high academic standards set forth by the Academy, our biggest challenge on the recruiting trail is overcoming the perceptions and misinformation that exists about the service academies and the military. We have found that once we identify the right type of prospects, it is important to get into their homes. After educating the prospects and their parents on the Academy, the response is usually tremendous. Recruiting here is not a “sell” job like at most schools; our approach is to educate and present all the facts to a prospect. The opportunities offered at the Academy and afterwards are unlike anywhere in the country. When I first arrived at the Academy, I thought the post-graduation com-mitment would be a deterrent. I have found that to be just the opposite. The word “commitment,” in this context, has a somewhat negative connotation. A more ac-curate way to refer to this portion of our package is post-graduate “opportunity,” because this is what it is. The post-graduation opportunity has actually helped our recruiting. Once educated, our recruits and their parents view the commitment as a positive rather than a negative. The career and educational opportunities available to our kids after graduation are astounding. It’s merely a matter of how you choose to approach the commitment, as an anchor or a springboard. One needs only take a look at the success of our graduates to know that it’s truly a springboard.

Q: What type of player are you looking to bring to Air Force?A: The type of player we are looking for is the classic overachiever; good stu-dent, good athlete and outstanding citizen. Most of the young men we recruit possess the foresight and maturity to see the “big picture” and where they can be five or 10 years down the road. Finding good players for our program is a tough job, but a job that can be done. The fine young men in our locker room are living proof.

Q: Cadet-athletes schedules are so demanding with academics and military life as well as practice, travel and games. How is the coaching staff able to maintain the balance between athletics and Academy life?

A: Our guys are first and foremost cadets. Hockey is certainly a big part of their lives and has been since they were little kids in most cases. However, they came to the Academy to develop their leadership skills so they can go out and be a key part of our Air Force. They only play hockey here for four years and then our guys are out doing some great things in the Air Force. They are serving and defending our country and it is an honor to have played a small role in their development while they are here. They have to take care of business in their squadron and in the classroom or they won’t see the ice. It’s that simple. We have some tremendous young men and it is amazing how they can accomplish everything they do. Our guys take great pride in their academics as well. We have a fantastic support staff that helps with this process as well. We have an academic mentoring program that has kept our cadet-athletes ahead of the game by not allowing them to fall behind. The academic, athletic and military demands on our cadet-athletes are incredible. Nowhere, and I mean nowhere, are student-athletes challenged like they are at the service academies. Our athletes carry 20 or more credit hours, participate in athletics and are required to perform a host of military duties. I am often asked the question, how do you inspire your athletes ... my response is simple, my athletes inspire me!

Mike Corbett is in his 10th season at the Air Force Academy. After nine seasons as an assis-tant hockey coach at the Academy, Corbett was promoted to associate head coach in the spring of 2012.

Corbett works with the Falcon defensemen and also assists with the nation-wide recruiting ef-fort. Corbett has guided a group that has shattered the school records for goals allowed per game in 2006-07, 2007-08 and again in 2008-09. Under his direction, the Falcons have been among the nation’s leaders in fewest shots allowed per game each of the last six years.

A 1996 graduate of the University of Den-ver, Corbett was a three-year letterman for the

Pioneers as a defenseman. Frank Serratore recruited Corbett to the Mile High city and coached him in the 1993-94 season. Corbett majored in management and minored in marketing. In 1998, he earned a master’s of science in management from DU.

Corbett was an assistant captain from 1995-97 and was named the team’s most in-spirational player in 1997. A three-time academic all-conference selection, Corbett was a finalist for the prestigious College Hockey Humanitarian Award.

After completing his eligibility, Corbett was a graduate assistant in the DU athletic department for a year and also worked in the Daniels College of Business. While at DU, Corbett spent a season working with the Colorado Avalanche as a community re-lations intern and as a statistician/video assistant for head coach Mark Crawford.

From 1997-00, Corbett was the head coach of the Butte (Mont.) Irish in the Amer-ica West Junior Hockey League. Corbett also served as general manager and director and head instructor of the Irish Hockey Camp. Corbett led the Irish to a 79-78-9 record and was named the AWHL Coach of the Year in 1997-98. He managed and executed all phases of the business and hockey operations and also recruited and evaluated all prospects.

Corbett moved across the state of Montana in 2000, taking over the Billings Bulls of the AWHL. The Bulls posted a 36-23-1 record in the 2000-01 season and advanced to the finals of the AWHL playoffs. Corbett was also the director of hockey operations with the club. Six players from that team went on to play at Division I institutions.

Corbett was the associate head coach with the Sioux Falls Stampede of the U.S. Hockey League in 2001-02. He coached all players, with an emphasis on the defensemen, and helped lead the team to a 35-21-5 record. Corbett moved to Colorado Springs in 2002 as the Director of the Colorado Springs Amateur Hockey Association. In that position, he managed 52 youth teams and 150 coaches at all levels. As the head coach of the Pikes Peak Miners Midget “AAA” team, he achieved three major midget “AAA” tournament finals and one championship. He led the

Miners to a 33-28-3 record.Corbett and his wife, Stacey, have

two children, Jordan (22) and Mayson (17).

SERRATORE ON CORBETTMike is what we refer to in the busi-ness as “a good hockey man.” He brings an extensive resume and a wealth of experience to our staff. Mike played for me at Denver and was a team captain. He possesses a very calm demeanor and his coaching style is very direct and professional. Mike’s greatest strength as a coach is that he does not possess a weakness and his veteran presence is very valuable to our coaching staff.

Andy Berg enters his seventh season as an assistant coach and his eighth season overall with the Falcon coaching staff. A 2003 graduate of the Academy, Berg, who served as a graduate assis-tant in 2003-04, assists with coaching on the ice and also with the nation-wide recruiting effort. Berg separated from the Air Force in the summer of 2010 after seven years of active duty.

A native of Stillwater, Minn., Berg gradu-ated from the Academy with a degree in manage-ment and was a four-year letterman at forward. A two-time all-CHA selection, Berg finished his career tied for 12th in scoring with 142 points (64-78-142) in 140 games. As a senior, he earned the Chuck Delich Award as the team’s most valu-able player. He led the team and was second in the

CHA with 22 goals and was fourth in the league with 40 points. His 15 power-play goals led the CHA and were second in the nation.

Berg’s 15 power-play goals in 2002-03 tied the school record set by Mark Manney in 1981-82. His 33 career power-play goals are the third most in school history.

A three-sport star at Stillwater (Minn.) High School, Berg earned more CHA awards than any other Falcon with five major awards. He was named the CHA Rookie of the Year in the league’s first season and was also named to the all-rookie team. He was a second-team all-conference selection as a sophomore and senior and was named to the CHA all-tournament team as a junior. Berg is one of only two Falcons to earn CHA all-tournament honors.

A two-year team captain, Berg led the team in points and goals twice. As a sophomore, he had 16 goals and 37 points and as a senior he had 22 goals and 40 points.

During his four-year career, he helped the team to 61 wins. During his first three seasons, the Falcons were a .500 team, posting a 51-51-8 record. The Falcons won 19 games his freshman year and finished with a winning record (19-18-2) for the first time in 11 years. He then helped the Falcons to consecutive 16-win seasons in 2000-01 and 2001-02.

After spending the 2003-04 season with the hockey team as a graduate assistant, Berg’s first assignment was with the 20th Contract-ing Squadron at Shaw Air Force Base, S.C. Berg served as the deputy flight commander for the services element and was named the com-pany grade officer of the year for 2005.

While at Shaw, Berg played 50 games for the Columbia Inferno of the East Coast Hockey League.

Berg, and his wife, Lauren, an assistant coach on the diving team, re-side in Palmer Lake.

SERRATORE ON BERGAndy played for me at Air Force and was a team captain. He is one of only two players in school history to garner league honors for four con-secutive years. Andy is a student of the game and is extremely passionate about coaching; this combination has enabled him to make a very smooth transition from playing to coaching. Andy possesses an excellent eye for talent and his youthful perspective is very valuable to our coaching staff.

When the 2011-12 Air Force hockey season opened, the Falcons once again had a target on the back of their sweater.

Despite losing the top two scorers from the previous season, Air Force was picked to finish second in the preseason coaches’ poll, just one point behind the preseason favorite, RIT.

The season opened at the annual Icebreaker Tournament in Grand Forks, N.D., and the Falcons would be tested early. Games against na-tional powers Michigan State and North Dakota kicked off the 2011-12 season. In the opener, the Falcons led third-ranked North Dakota, 3-2, in the third period before falling to the Sioux, 4-3. The next night would be a similar story, but with side helping of bad news. The Falcons led Michigan State, 2-1 in the third period, but the Spartans tied the game late in the third and won, 3-2, in overtime. Late in the third period, Fal-con goaltender Jason Torf suffered a groin injury and had to come out with the game tied 2-2 and about five minutes remaining. A torn groin muscle would keep the sophomore goalie out until after the Christmas and the Falcons were forced to look toward senior Stephen Caple, who had three career starts, and freshman Paul Moberg.

Caple got the nod for the conference opener against Niagara six days later at home and gave up two goals in the first four minutes. The senior not only settled in, but gave the Falcons stability between the pipes for the next 18 games. Air Force came back to beat Niagara, 3-2 in over-time, and then beat Robert Morris, 4-2, two days later as the Falcons jumped right to the top of the conference standings. Caple would lead the Falcons to a 5-0-2 record in the next seven games. After a pair of close road losses at RIT and Mercyhurst, the Falcons rebounded to win four straight entering the holiday break and had a 9-4-2 record and were in first place in the conference.

After the break, the Falcons posted one of their biggest wins of the season as Caple made a career-high 33 saves in a 2-1 win over fifth-ranked Colorado College. The win was the first ever at the Colorado Springs World Arena and marked the fifth time in the last six years that the Falcons have beaten a team ranked in the top five in the nation. However, after that win, the Falcons started their typical January slide, by going 0-3-3 in the next six games. The Falcons earned three points at Army and three points at Canisius, and found themselves in fourth place in the league with a difficult stretch of games ahead. Caple and Torf

were splitting time in goal as the Falcons were about to face the top four teams in the league in the final four weeks of the regular season.

Entering February, Torf was given the start against first-place RIT and the sophomore responded by making 25 saves in a 3-0 shutout vic-tory on national television. AFA completed the sweep of the Tigers as Torf made 32 saves the next night in a 4-2 win. The four points vaulted the Falcons into first place as the team went on the road and took three points from third-place Niagara. The first-place Falcons returned home to face third-place Mercyhurst. After an 8-0 win the first night, the Fal-cons fell, 2-1, in the second game and remained in first place by a point heading into the final weekend of the regular season. The loss ended a nine-game unbeaten streak and was the first in over a month. The final weekend of the regular season sent the Falcons to Pittsburgh to face Robert Morris. In the first game, Torf made 35 saves, but the Falcons fell 2-1 in overtime. Air Force would need a win in the final regular season game to clinch the No. 1 seed in the tournament. Torf posted his fourth shutout of the season with 25 saves as the Falcons blanked the Colonials, 3-0, to earn the team’s first ever outright regular-season title.

As the No. 1 seed in the tournament, the Falcons hosted eighth-seeded UConn in the AHA quarterfinal best-of-three series and the Fal-cons knew this would not be easy. UConn was a team that was picked to finish in the top five in the league, but slipped to the bottom half of the standings. Game one seesawed back and forth until Kyle DeLaurell scored the game-winner with eight minutes left the Falcons had a 4-3 win. Caple came on in relief of Torf in the third period and stopped all 10 shots he faced. The next night, AFA again had a huge shot advan-tage, this time it was 47-14, but it was the Huskies that evened the se-ries with a 3-1 win. UConn scored one in the first and one in the second for a 2-1 lead entering the third period. UConn added an empty-netter to force a third and deciding game. On Sunday, AFA again controlled play, but found itself down 3-2 late in the third period. Jason Fabian tied the game with just over a minute left and George Michalke scored the game-winner early in the third. Caple, who came on in relief in the first two games, started game three and made 28 saves as the Falcons won 4-3 and earned a trip to the AHA Final Four for the sixth straight season.

In the first game, the top-seeded Falcons broke open a tight game with fourth-seeded Mercyhurst for a 5-2 victory in the semifinals. Air

*Atlantic Hockey Association game& Icebreaker Classic in Grand Forks, N.D.# Atlantic Hockey Quarterfinals, at USAFA

& AHA Final Four, Rochester, N.Y.^ NCAA Northeast Regionals, Worcester, Mass.

Force never trailed in the game, but the Lakers cut the Falcon lead to 3-2 early in the third period. Fabian’s goal with less than two minutes remaining gave the Falcons a two-goal cushion. Senior Paul Weisgarber’s second of the game was an empty-netter with 50 seconds left to seal the win. The top two teams in Atlantic Hockey over the past six years met in the champi-onship game as the Falcons faced RIT. Cole Gunner and John Kruse each scored their second goals of the weekend as the Falcons built a 2-0 lead. Fabian added a goal in

the second and an empty-netter late in the third as the Falcons won the tournament title with a 4-0 win. Jason Torf was named the tournament MVP as he stopped all 34 shots he faced in the championship game.

The Falcons earned the automatic berth to the NCAA Championships for the fifth time in the last six years and Air Force was sent to the NCAA Northeast Regional in Worcester, Mass., to face Boston College, the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament. BC’s Chris Kreider gave the Eagles a 1-0 lead in the first period and the score was unchanged until late in the third period. A collision in the neutral zone with less than two minutes remaining, gave Eagles a power play. With 1:21 remaining, Kreider scored his second of the game as BC, the eventual national cham-pion, beat the Falcons, 2-0.

Despite the disappointment of the loss, the Falcons still had much to celebrate. The team finished the season with a 21-11-7 overall record, marking the second straight year the Falcons had won 20 or more games. The Falcons had won their seventh league championship (five tour-nament and two regular-season) in the last six years. The senior class won five championships, more than any other class, and won 85 games to tie the school record set by the class of 2011.

With the team honors came the individual accolades. Senior Tim Kirby was named to every All-America team (second-team East AHCA [coaches], second-team USCHO and third-team INCH). Kirby was also named one of 10 finalists for the Hobey Baker Award and was a unani-mous selection as the AHA Player and Defenseman of the Year. Kirby was joined on the AHA first-team by Scott Mathis and Kyle DeLaurell. John Kruse was named to the second team. Five Falcons were named to the AHA all-tournament team led by MVP Jason Torf. Kirby, Mathis, Weisgarber and Cole Gun-ner were also named to the team. Weisgarber, a senior from Fargo, N.D., was one of 10 finalists for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award, recog-nizing excellence on the ice, in the classroom and in the community.

Air Force finished the season with the highest final national ranking in school history. The Falcons were 15th in the final USA Today/USA Hockey poll and 16th in the USCHO.com poll.

A new chapter in the history of college hockey was ushered into existence when the Atlantic Hockey Association was created on June 30, 2003, by nine charter members. The sixth Division I men’s ice hockey conference arose when the founding members - American International, Bentley, Canisius, UConn, Holy Cross, Mercyhurst, Quinnipiac, Sacred Heart, and the United States Military Academy (Army) - re-quired an organization that represented their specific hockey needs.

After a two-year stay in Atlantic Hockey, Quin-nipiac left the AHA for the ECAC Hockey League in 2005. RIT and Air Force joined Atlantic Hockey for the 2006-07 season, bringing the number of teams in the AHA to 10. RIT made the jump from Division III to Division I while Air Force moved over from College Hockey America. The AHA expanded to 12 teams with the additions of Robert Morris and Niagara beginning with the 2010-11 season.

In 2005-06, Holy Cross earned its second Atlantic Hockey Association regular season and tournament crowns. The Crusaders posted the first ever NCAA Tournament victory as Holy Cross defeated top-seed Minnesota, 4-3, in overtime at the West Regional in Grand Forks, N.D. Air Force nearly pulled off another upset in 2006-07 as the Falcons pushed top-seeded Minnesota to the brink in the NCAA West Regional in Denver. Air Force led, 3-1, with just over eight minutes left in the third period, but fell to the Gophers, 4-3. Air Force became the first AHA team to earn back-to-back championships and again advanced to the NCAA Tournament. The Falcons again scared one of the “Big Boys” of college hockey, leading second-

ranked Miami, 2-1, in the third period. However, the RedHawks tied the game with a power-play goal mid-way through the third and then won in overtime, 3-2. Air Force earned its first ever NCAA Tournament win, and just the second in the history of the AHA, as the Falcons blanked third-ranked and top-seeded Michigan, 2-0, at the NCAA East Regional. The Falcons nearly advanced to the Frozen Four, but fell to 10th-ranked Vermont, 3-2, in double overtime in the regional final. Then, in 2010, RIT beat Denver and New Hampshire to advance to the NCAA Frozen Four.

In 2010-11, Air Force won its fourth league cham-pionship in five years with a 1-0 win over RIT in the championshp game. The Falcons then took top-seeded Yale into overtime in the NCAA East Regional, before

falling 2-1 in overtime. Air Force clinched both the regular season and tour-nament titles in 2011-12. The Falcons beat RIT, 4-0, in the championship game. The Falcons fell No. 1 Boston College, the eventual national cham-pion, 2-0, in the NCAA Northeast Regional.

Robert DeGregorio, a former commissioner of Hockey East, was named the conference’s first commissioner in 2003 and has guided the league ever since.

Currently, Atlantic Hockey spans a total of five states, reaching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Rocky Mountains. Members reside in Colorado (Air Force), Connecticut (University of UConn, Sacred Heart), Massachusetts (American International, Bentley, Holy Cross), New York (Army, Canisius, Niagara and RIT), and Pennsylvania (Mercyhurst and Robert Morris).

With the drop of the puck to begin the 2012-13 season, the Falcons will enter their 45th season of Division I hockey.

With the Academy still in its infancy, the dream of hockey at the youngest military academy was born.

In 1958, a group of cadets began an in-tramural hockey team. Relying on freezing temperatures and the shadows from the dor-mitory, cadets donned football and lacrosse equipment and played hockey in the courtyard of Vandenberg Hall.

A few years later one of the greatest col-lege hockey coaches ever, Vic Heyliger, became interested in such a fledgling pro-gram. With six national championships to his credit at Michigan, the “Father of Air Force Hockey,” came to the Academy in 1966 and guided the club team.

At long last came the night of Nov. 29, 1968, when the first hockey game was played at the Cadet Ice Arena. The Falcons defeated the Colorado All-Stars, a collage of former collegiate players, 8-6. The first game was not without its share of quirky moments. During the first shift in the first period, a slap shot was taken and went completely through the “shatter-proof” glass and onto the running track in the multi-purpose area.

The Falcons finally got their first taste of intercollegiate competition in the new arena and it was not pleasant. Notre Dame, another first-year program, swept the Falcons, 8-1 and 5-4. Air Force gained its first home win with a 6-4 win over Ohio State on Jan. 17, 1968.

The program continued to gain momen-tum, posting its first winning season in 1970-71 with a 15-11-2 record.

However, it was the following season that would be the Falcons’ breakthrough year. Heyliger hired his former All-American player at Michigan, John Matchefts, as an assistant coach and the Falcons posted a 25-6 record in 1971-72. A few years later, in Matchefts’ first season as head coach, the Falcons posted a 24-5-1 mark for the school’s best winning percentage. What will best be re-membered from that team is a pair of dramatic one-goal wins over Colorado College.

Matchefts went on to win 154 games in 11 seasons before passing the baton to his former standout, Chuck Delich. Delich, who still ranks 10th in NCAA history in career points per game, shattered every school record in his four years.

After taking over the program in 1985, Delich garnered early success much like his predecessor. In his second season, he posted a 19-10 record, the most wins in 10 years. He then strung together a school-record five consecutive winning seasons in his 12 years while tying the school record with 154 coach-ing wins. During the Delich years, the Falcons posted a winning record against rival Army, including a 6-1-1 record at home against the Black Knights.

The third decade of Falcon hockey brought several changes to the program. Frank Serratore, who has coached at nearly every level of hockey, took over in 1998. His enthu-siastic, disciplined style of hockey injected a new energy into the program. He has led the

Falcons to more Division I victories than any other Falcon coach.

In Serratore’s 10th season, he took the pro-gram to new heights. The Falcons claimed the Atlantic Hockey Association championship and played Minnesota in the NCAA West Regional, both firsts for any service academy team. A 4-3 loss to the Gophers only whet the Falcons’ appetite. Serratore backed that cham-pionship season up with another ring as the Falcons won the AHA title and faced second-ranked Miami in the NCAA Northeast Re-gional, falling to the RedHawks in overtime.

After knocking on the door twice, the Fal-cons finally kicked it in with a record-setting season in 2008-09. AFA won a school-record 28 games, won its third straight AHA cham-pionship and won its first-ever NCAA game with a win over the storied Michigan Wolver-ines.

In 2010-11, the Falcons claimed their fourth championship in five years. Another trip to the NCAA Tournament ended with yet another overtime loss, this time a 2-1 loss to top-seeded Yale.

The Falcons added their fifth conference title in the last six years by beating RIT, 4-0, in the 2011-12 championship game. AFA’s season ended in the first round of the NCAA Tournament with a 2-0 loss to No. 1 Boston College, the eventual national champions.

With its humble beginnings in an outdoor rink relying on the unpredictable Colorado weather, Falcon hockey has grown by leaps and bounds. In the past 10 years, nearly 700,000 fans have watched the Falcons.

History of Falcon HockeyHistory of Falcon Hockey


Having only four head coaches in the 45 seasons of varsity hockey, the Air Force Academy is proud to have two former coaches elected to the United States Hockey Hall of Fame: Vic Heyliger and John Matchefts.

Vic Heyliger, the “Father of Air Force Hockey,” came to the Academy in 1966 to coach the Falcons’ club team. In 1968-69, he became the Falcons’ first varsity head coach. In his six seasons at the helm, the Falcons quickly became a competitive hockey program at the Division I level. Heyliger led the Falcons to an 85-77-3 record, including a phenomenal 25-6 record in 1971-72, the fourth season of varsity hockey.

The native of Concord, Mass., will always be regarded as one of the greatest college hockey coaches ever. In 13 seasons as the head coach of his alma mater, Michigan, he led the Wolverines to six NCAA Championships. He led the Wolverines to a 228-61-13 record from 1944-57.

In his fourth season, he led the 1948 Wolverines to a 20-2-1 record and the school’s first NCAA Championship ever. He repeated the feat in 1951 as Michigan posted a 22-4-1 record and defeated Brown, 7-1, in the championship game. That title was Michigan’s first of three straight champion-ships and five in six years. Heyliger was a three-year letter-man at Michigan from 1934-37. The outstanding defenseman award at Michigan is named in his honor. Following his playing career at Michigan, he played three seasons in the National Hockey League with the Chicago Blackhawks.

The 1938 graduate of Michigan began his coaching career at the University of Illinois. In four seasons, he guided the Illini to a 59-29-4 record. Heyliger, who was instrumental in the development of the Western Collegiate Hockey Associa-tion, was named the National Collegiate Coach of the Year in 1953. After leaving Michigan in 1957, he remained active in hockey as he coached the USA National Team that com-peted against the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. In 1962 and 1963, Heyliger coached West Germany in the World Cham-pionships and later coached Team USA at the 1966 World Championships.

He was elected to the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in Eveleth, Minn., in September 1974.

Heyliger passed away in 2006.

John Matchefts was inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in 1991 and was named to the NCAA’s 50th anniver-sary hockey team in 1997. Matchefts played on three national championship teams at Michigan under Vic Heyliger from 1951-53. Matchefts earned All-American honors in 1951 and 1953, was twice named to the all-tournament team at the NCAA Championships and was the finals MVP in 1953.

Following his college playing career, Matchefts played on the USA National Team in 1955 and earned a silver medal as an alternate captain with the 1956 USA Olympic Team. After serving as a first lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps, Matchefts returned to hockey in 1957 as the head coach at Lincoln High School in Thief River Falls, Minn. While coaching at Lincoln and his alma mater, Eveleth High School, he led the 1959 and 1960 teams to the state tourna-ment and never had a losing season.

The native of Eveleth, Minn., guided the Colorado Col-lege hockey program for five seasons and posted a 48-72-2 mark. He was named the 1969 Western Collegiate Hockey Association Coach of the Year.

Matchefts came to the Academy in 1972 as an assistant coach to Heyliger for three seasons. He took over the head coaching duties in 1974. In 11 seasons, Matchefts led the Falcons to a 154-150-6 record from 1974-85. In his first sea-son at Air Force, he led the Falcons to a remarkable 24-5-1 record, the second-best mark in school history. He also paced the Falcons to four winning seasons in his first five years. His 154 wins are tied with Chuck Delich as the second-most career hockey coaching wins in AFA history.

As an assistant coach, Matchefts went back to his home-town to recruit a player who was overlooked by nearly every other Division I school. Four years later, Chuck Delich be-came Air Force’s all-time leading scorer and one of the most potent offensive players in NCAA history. After spending four seasons as Matchefts’ assistant, Delich succeeded him as the Falcons’ head coach in 1984.

Frank SchiavoneJeff Zurick

Capt. Michal P. Polidor, a 2004 Air Force Academy graduate, was presented the 2011 Colonel James Jabara Award for Airmanship and also earned the Distinguished Flying Cross for his heroic actions in an Op-eration Enduring Freedom sortie supporting United States and Afghan National Army ground forces.

As a cadet, Polidor earned CoSIDA Academic All-America honors in 2004 as he carried a 3.9 grade point average as an astronautical engi-neering major. A two-time academic all-district selection, Polidor was named the Air Force Academy’s scholar-athlete of the year and the Col-lege Hockey America conference student athlete of the year in 2004. The Imperial, Pa., native was the team’s starting goaltender for three seasons and played in 95 games, the sixth most in school history.

On Oct. 3, 2009, Polidor was the Flight Lead of an F-15E Strike Ea-gle two-ship tasked to support Coalition Observation Post Keating in the Nuristan province of Afghanistan. More than 80 coalition soldiers were pinned down and taking fi re from a well-orchestrated 360-degree attack of 250 Taliban insurgents in the steep and rugged Kamdesh Valley.

Shortly after arriving on station, Polidor assumed the Tactical Air Control-Airborne role, deconfl icting aircraft and establishing a com-munications relay amid smoke, approaching thunderstorms, and radio

communication that was severely degraded by the surrounding terrain.

During his 7.8-hour sortie, Polidor was able to coordinate and integrate 19 aircraft, to include F-15Es, A-10s, AH-64s and a B-1, orchestrating precision strikes on the enemy. He expertly expended four bombs and executed a perfect 20mm strafe against a target in close proximity to friendly forces. He also performed a battle damage check for his wingman, who experienced a severe hydraulics failure.

Low on fuel, Polidor continued to orchestrate incoming air assets while aerial refueling. Over 30,000 pounds of ordnance and 170 rounds of strafe eliminated enemy strongholds, saving 72 American and Afghan National Army lives.

Polidor joins an extremely exclusive group, becoming the 50th Air Force Academy graduate selected for the Jabara Award. Among the previous winners are such notable alumni as Vietnam War heroes Karl Richter and Steve Ritchie, pioneering astronaut Karol Bobko, and Hud-son River landing pilot Chesley Sullenberger.

Established in 1967, the award is presented to an Academy graduate, living or deceased, whose actions directly associated with an aerospace vehicle set him or her apart from contemporaries.

Falcons and The HobeyFalcons and The Hobey

Since 2007, Air Force has had three players named as finalists for the Hobey Baker Memorial Trophy, more than any other Atlantic Hockey Association team during that span.

Eric Ehn in 2007, Jacques Lamoureux in 2009 and Tim Kirby in 2012 were all among the 10 finalists for the award that is presented to the nation’s top collegiate hockey player.

In 2007, Ehn became the first service academy player to ever be named a finalist for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award. Not only was Ehn one of 10 finalists, he was chosen as one of the final three, The Hobey Hat Trick. The junior center from Dexter, Mich., was invited to the NCAA Frozen Four in St. Louis for the awards presentation. Ehn was joined at the awards ceremony by Notre Dame goaltender David Brown and North Dakota forward Ryan Duncan, who won the award.

Two years later, sophomore center Jacques Lamoureux was named as one of 10 finalists for the Hobey, making Air Force one of only seven schools (Boston University, Miami, Michigan, North Dakota, Princeton and St. Cloud) to have two Hobey finalists in that three-year span.

LOWES SENIOR CLASS AWARDAn acronym for Celebrating Loy-

alty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award is given annually to the most outstanding senior student-athlete in NCAA Division I men’s ice hockey. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be a senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – community, classroom, character and competition.

The award began in 2001 in the sport of men’s basketball. Outstanding student-athletes are now honored in 10 sports, including men’s hockey which began in 2007.

Air Force is the only school in the na-tion to have a finalist each of the first six years of the award.

Billy Devoney was AFA’s first final-ist in 2007. He was followed by Frank Schiavone (2008), Mike Phillipich (2009), Matt Fairchild (2010), Jacques Lamoureux (2011) and Paul Weisgarber (2012).

Lamoureux became the first Falcon in any sport to win the prestigous award.

“This is truly an honor and humbling to accept this award on behalf of my teammates and the Air Force Academy,” Lamoureux said. “We have had a lot of worthy candidates the last few years and for someone to win this award from the Academy is a tremendous honor.”

One of the top goal scorers in the na-tion, Lamoureux maintained a 3.76 grade point average in his management major and was very active in the community.

“Jacques Lamoureux stands for every-thing the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award

represents,” head coach Frank Serratore said. “He is an outstanding student, a tre-mendous leader and a highly decorated player. I am both proud and happy for Jacques as he is a very deserving and worthy recipient.”

Devoney carried a 3.01 cumulative grade point average and was the team captain as a senior. The defenseman was on the dean’s list four times.

Schiavone carried a 3.6 cumulative grade point average and a 3.8 GPA in his major of management. He was on the dean’s list every semester.

Phillipich, a right winger from Lan-sing, Mich., carried a 3.77 overall grade point average and a 3.87 GPA in his major. His was on the dean’s list every semester.

Fairchild, a left winger from Ash-burn, Va., carried a 3.55 overall grade point average and a 3.65 GPA in his major of systems engineering manage-ment. He was on the dean’s list every semester.

Lamoureux, a forward from Grand Forks, N.D., carried a 3.03 grade point average and had a 3.76 GPA in his major. He was on the dean’s list three times and one of the top goal scorers in the country.

Weisgarber, a forward from Fargo, N.D., carried a 3.95 GPA in his major of management and had a 3.60 cumula-tive GPA. A team captain, he was on the dean’s list every semester.

THE FOUNDATION OF AIR FORCE HOCKEYPrior to the Air Force hockey program going Division I in 1968-69, cadets had been play-

ing hockey, both indoors and outdoors, since 1958. In 1966, Vic Heyliger was hired to coach the Air Force hockey club team and then make the transition to Division I in 1968. Heyliger, a former NHL player with the Chicago Blackhawks, started the Academy program after lead-ing the University of Michigan to six national championships in 13 years. Heyliger’s club teams played schedules that included teams from Illinois, Ohio State and Bowling Green.

The Air Force hockey program is trying to recapture some of the history of these club teams. Below is a list of players who helped pioneer the sport of hockey at the Academy. Most of these former players do not show up as lettermen, as letters are only awarded for var-sity competition. If anyone has more information about the club era of Air Force hockey, feel free to contact sports information director Dave Toller at [email protected].

2007 Atlantic Hockey Association Conference ChampionsThe 2006-07 season is one that will not be

forgotten soon. Air Force was in its first season of compe-

tition in the Atlantic Hockey Association after seven years in College Hockey America. That was only the tip of the iceberg.

The Falcons claimed their first-ever con-ference championship, first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament, first winning season playing an all-Division I schedule (19-16-5), first winning record in conference play (13-10-5), first service academy to win a confer-ence title and compete in the NCAA Hockey Tournament, first-ever All-American (Eric Ehn second-team AHCA), first-ever Hobey Baker finalist (Ehn finished in final three), first player ever selected to the Frozen Four Skills Competition (Andrew Ramsey) and the first finalist for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS award for leadership, character and academics (Billy Devoney was a first-team Lowe’s All-American).

The season was one of many ups and downs as the overall record hovered around the .500 mark for most of the year. AFA won just three of its first eight games. However, after a sweep at Mercyhurst, the Falcons were 11-8-5 overall in early January.

A five-game losing skid dropped the team’s record to 13-15-5 with just three regu-lar-season games remaining.

The Falcons rebounded to win the final three regular-season games over Canisius and American International. The momentum carried over into the AHA Tournament as the

Falcons blanked Holy Cross, 3-0, at the Acad-emy in the quarterfinals.

Then, at the AHA Final Four in Rochester, N.Y., the Falcons needed overtime to beat top-seeded Sacred Heart in the semifinals. AFA led 3-1 in the third period, but the Pio-neers took a 4-3 lead late in the third. After pulling the goalie, defenseman Billy Devoney scored with 54 seconds left to tie the game. Then, in overtime, Josh Print tipped in a point shot by Greg Flynn to send the Falcons into the championship game.

The opponent was none other than service academy rival Army. The game was arguably the biggest in Academy history. Not only was it for bragging rights in the military world, but a conference championship and NCAA bid were on the line.

After a scoreless first period, Mike Phil-lipich and Andrew Ramsey scored for a 2-0 lead in the second period. Freshman goalie Andrew Volkening stopped 18 Black Knight shots in the first 40 minutes and was flaw-less in the crease. Air Force exploded for four goals in the third period for a 6-1 win. Phillipich was named the tournament’s MVP while Devoney and Volkening were named to the all-tourney team.

The win propelled the Falcons into the NCAA Tournament and a meeting with the tournament’s No. 1 seed, Minnesota, at the Pepsi Center in Denver.

The big stage, the media attention, the large crowd and the daunting opponent did not bother the Falcons whatsoever. AFA scored first as Jeff Hajner netted his 13th of the season midway through the first period. Volkening was stellar in the net and the Fal-cons entered the first intermission with a 1-0 lead. Minnesota tied the game in the second, but the Falcons answered as Ramsey scored on the power-play with 37 seconds left in the second period.

Early in the third period, freshman Brett Nylander scored on a wrap-around goal and the Falcons had a 3-1 lead. With just over eight minutes remaining, the Falcons clung to the two-goal advantage.

However, the clock was about to strike midnight on Cinderella. Minnesota scored three goals in a span of 3:36 and escaped with a 4-3 win over the Falcons.

The loss ended the Falcons’ championship season, but the memories of the team’s first conference title and NCAA berth will last a lifetime.

2008 Atlantic Hockey Association Conference ChampionsComing off of a league title in 2006-07, the

Air Force hockey poster for the 2007-08 sea-son read “A Championship Foundation.”

Those words could not have been more prophetic as Air Force defended its champion-ship by winning its second consecutive title and returning to the NCAA Tournament.

Air Force finished the 2007-08 season with an overall record of 21-12-6. The 21 wins are the most Division I victories in school history and marked the first back-to-back winning seasons in school history. A nine-game un-beaten streak, the longest in the nation at the time, ended with a 3-2 overtime loss at the NCAA Northeast Regional to Miami, the No. 2 overall seed in the tournament.

Air Force claimed some big victories along the way, including a sweep of 14th-ranked Quinnipiac in the season-opening series.

In the first half of the season, the Falcons settled for numerous ties in games that could have been victories. However, one tie in par-ticular, was a great one. In the consolation game of the Dodge Holiday Classic at Mari-ucci Arena in Minneapolis, the Falcons tied 12th-ranked Minnesota, 2-2, on the Gophers’ home ice.

Three weeks later, fourth-ranked Denver came to town having won 19 straight over Air Force dating back to 1980. The Falcons got the monkey off their back with a convincing 5-2 victory, tying the highest ranked team Air Force has ever defeated. Matt Fairchild tallied his first career hat trick and Andrew Volken-ing stopped 29 of 31 shots.

The next night, 2007 All-American Eric Ehn suffered a fractured left fibula and signifi-cant ligament damage in his ankle in a 2-1 loss at Colorado College.

It took some time for the Falcons to re-group, but the train was soon back on the track. A 7-0 win over Mercyhurst on Feb. 9 started a nine-game unbeaten streak, which was the longest in the nation.

Air Force was the No. 3 seed in the AHA tournament and hosted eighth-seeded Bentley in a best-of-three playoff series. The Falcons of Bentley were no match for the Fal-cons of Air Force, as the home team swept the series, 9-2 and 3-1. Air Force was one of five teams to advance to the AHA Final Five in Rochester and the Falcons were scheduled to face second-seeded RIT in their hometown.

Air Force silenced the partisan RIT crowd with a 5-0 win in the semifinals as Olson scored two goals and Volkening posted his fourth shutout in his last eight games. The win sent the Falcons to the championship game to face fifth-seeded Mercyhurst, a team playing its third game in as many days.

An exciting game see-sawed back and forth until Josh Frider scored with 8:30 left in the third to tie the game at 4-4. The game remain-

ing tied until Frider netted the game-winner 56 seconds into the second overtime, lifting the Falcons to the tournament title and a re-turn trip to the NCAAs. Olson was named the MVP of the tournament with five points in the two games.

Two weeks later, the Falcons were back on the ice at the NCAA Northeast Regional in Worcester, Mass., to face top-seeded Miami, the No. 2 overall seed and the top scoring team in the nation. The game got off to an inauspicious start for Air Force as the Red-Hawks scored on the first shift of the game and had a 1-0 lead 19 seconds into the contest. However, the Falcons came roaring back in the second period to take a 2-1 lead on goals by Derrick Burnett and Josh Print. Miami tied the game with a power-play goal with 6:16 re-maining and then scored the game-winner just under five minutes into overtime.

For the second consecutive year, the Falcons’ season ended in the first game at the NCAA Regional after having a heavily-favored opponent on the ropes in the third period. Despite the disappointment at the time, the team’s accomplishments could not be for-gotten.

2009 Atlantic Hockey Association Conference ChampionsWhen the 2007-08 season concluded with

an overtime loss to second-ranked Miami in the NCAA Tournament, the returning players all said they wanted more. It wasn’t good enough.

“As much as we accomplished, it’s not enough,” said goaltender Andrew Volkening after the 2007-08 season.

Many fans raised an eyebrow, or two, at those statements. The Falcons had just won 21 games, the most Division I wins in school history, earned their second consecutive conference champion-ship, another trip to the NCAA Tournament and nearly knocked off the No. 2 team in all of col-lege hockey.

More is what the 2008-09 Falcons delivered: a 28-11-2 overall record, the most wins in school history, the team’s first ever regular-season cham-pionship, the third straight Atlantic Hockey Asso-ciation tournament title, a third-consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament, the program’s first ever win in the NCAAs and a trip to the Elite Eight.

Air Force started the season with a giant bull’s eye on its back. Not only were the Falcons the two-time AHA champions, but the coaches picked Air Force first in the preseason poll.

The target didn’t seem to bother the Falcons early in the season as Air Force rolled to 13 con-secutive wins and a No. 10 ranking in the national polls, both school records.

Win number 13 came against a team that the Falcons had not defeated in 24 years, third-ranked Colorado College. After a 4-1 win over the Ti-gers at home, the streak ended with a 3-1 loss at ninth-ranked DU. The loss put the Falcons in a bit of a tailspin, posting just a 4-7-2 record through December and January.

As has been the case the past three years, the

Falcons flipped the switch in February, going 6-2 in the month. Air Force needed a win in the final regular-season game at RIT to share the title with the Tigers and that is just what the Falcons got. in a 3-1 victory to earn the top seed in the tourna-ment.

In the league quarterfinal best-of-three series, the Falcons hosted No. 8-seed Sacred Heart, but the series was much closer than the many fans anticipated. Air Force scored late to earn a 4-3 win in the first game, but Sacred Heart won game two, 4-1, forcing a deciding third game.

Air Force left no doubt in the rubber match as Greg Flynn scored the first two goals of the game and cruised to an 8-1 victory and a trip to the AHA Final Four in Rochester, N.Y.

In the AHA semifinal game, Matt Fairchild scored two goals and Volkening stopped all 26 shots he faced in a 3-0 blanking of Bentley. The win sent the Falcons back to the championship game, setting up a rematch of last years’ title game with Mercyhurst. This game was not nearly the epic of the previous season as the Falcons held the No. 2 scoring team in the nation without a goal in a 2-0 victory. Lamoureux and Fairchild scored and Volkening made 25 saves in the game.

The third consecutive league championship sent the Falcons back to the NCAA Tournament, a place where this team had some unfinished business.

Who would be the Falcons’ opponent at the Big Dance?

None other than the most storied program in the history of college hockey, the Michigan Wolverines. The top-seeded Wolverines, ranked third in the nation, boasted 13 NHL draft choices. However, it was Air Force’s first-team all-league choices that led the way. Volkening stopped all 43 shots he faced, Flynn assisted on both goals and Lamoureux scored AFA’s second goal of the game as the Falcons earned a 2-0 win for the program’s first ever NCAA win. Derrick Burnett scored the first goal of the game, the eventual game-winner.

The win sent Air Force to its first-ever Elite Eight and a matchup vs. 10th-ranked Vermont. The winner would earn a spot in the Frozen Four in Washington D.C. Freshman Paul Weisgarber broke a scoreless tie in the second period, but Vermont scored two goals midway through the third for a 2-1 lead. Air Force came back to tie the game at 11:18 on Sean Bertsch’s goal. Neither team scored during the rest of regulation or the first overtime. In the second overtime, Vermont defenseman Dan Lawson took a slap shot from the point at the 14:10 mark and play continued for nearly two minutes. Upon the first whistle, the play was under video review and, after a 12-min-ute delay; the shot was ruled a goal as the puck went through the net ending the Falcons’ season.

The loss was tough to swallow, especially being one shot from going to the Frozen Four, but the 2008-09 season proved the Falcons were truly one of the best teams in the nation.

2011 Atlantic Hockey Association Conference ChampionsThe 2010-11 season began with many ques-

tions marks. The Falcons had to break in a new goaltender and had several holes to fill. The Falcons were picked to finish third in the preseason coaches poll and coach Frank Ser-ratore said he would do cartwheels if that was the case.

After a rough start, Air Force finished strong with eight straight wins to include its fourth AHA championship in the last five years. The Falcons finished the season with a 20-12-6 overall record and won the AHA tournament as the No. 2 seed. Air Force advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in school history and, for the fourth time, lost a one-goal game on the national stage. Yale, the No.1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, needed overtime to beat the Falcons, 2-1, in the NCAA East Regional in Bridgeport, Conn.

The season could not have gotten off to a more dismal beginning. An 0-4 start included a home loss to the last-place team in the league, the AIC Yellow Jackets.

Air Force’s first signature win of the season came on Nov. 7 when defending league cham-pion, and 2010 Frozen Four participant, RIT came to town. AFA fell behind 2-0 in the first period, but bounced back as Paul Weisgarber tied the game with five minutes remaining and John Kruse scored the game winner with just over three minutes left for a 4-3 win.

After a loss to Colorado College, the Fal-cons hosted third-ranked and undefeated Yale. The Bulldogs spent the majority of the season ranked first in the nation and advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight. But Nov. 14, 2010 is a night that the over-capacity crowd at the Cadet Ice Arena won’t soon forget. Trailing

3-0 in the third, AFA scored four unanswered goals and freshman goalie Jason Torf made 34 saves as the Falcons earned a 4-3 win. From that point on, Air Force was a different team. Beginning with that game, Air Force was 18-6-6 in the final 30 games of the season.

Air Force needed to earn some points down the stretch to secure home ice in the playoffs. An unexpected road sweep at Mercyhurst set up a series with second-place Robert Morris and a chance to get a bye in the first round. That bye was clinched as the Falcons earned two 4-2 victories and finished second in the AHA regular season.

After a week off, Air Force hosted Sacred Heart in the quarterfinals, March 11-12, at the Cadet Ice Arena. The Falcons out-scored the Pioneers, 7-5, in the first game as the two teams combined for 10 goals in the first 26 minutes of the game. The next night was all defense. Torf stopped all 16 shots he faced as the Falcons earned a 4-0 win and an unprec-edented fifth straight trip to the AHA Final Four in Rochester, N.Y.

The second-seeded Falcons faced the third-seeded Holy Cross Crusaders in the semifinals and again had to come from behind. Trailing 2-1 in the third, Jacques Lamoureux scored twice late for a 3-2 win.

The championship game was a winner-take-all showdown against the top two teams in the league as the No. 2 Falcons faced the top-seeded RIT Tigers. In the second period, Tim

Kirby drove the length of the ice and Lamou-reux scored the game’s only goal. Torf made a career high 40 saves and the Falcons had earned their fourth trip to the NCAA Tourna-ment in the last five years. Lamoureux was named the tournament’s MVP and was joined on the all-tournament team by Torf, Kirby and Scott Mathis.

The Falcons’ opponent in the NCAA East Regional in Bridgeport, Conn., would be a familiar one, the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament, Yale Late in the second period, senior Sean Bertsch scored on a wrap around to tie the game at 1-1. Neither team scored in the third and the game went into overtime. Air Force had several quality chances in the first three minutes, but it was Yale that advanced with a rebound goal at 3:16 of overtime.

The loss was certainly disappointing, but the strides this team made throughout the season were gigantic. An inconsistent team that was full of question marks early in the season went on to win eight straight late in the year and push one of the nation’s best teams to the limit on the game’s biggest stage.

The seniors became the winningest class in school history with 85 wins in four years. The Falcons ended the season ranked 18th in the nation, tying the highest final national ranking in school history.

2012 Atlantic Hockey Association Conference ChampionsWhen the 2011-12 Air Force hockey season

opened, the Falcons once again had a target on the back of their sweater.

Despite losing the top two scorers from the previous season, Air Force was picked to finish second in the preseason coaches’ poll, just one point behind the preseason favorite, RIT.

The season opened at the annual Icebreaker Tournament in Grand Forks, N.D., and the Fal-cons would be tested early. Despite having a lead in the third period against third-ranked North Da-kota and Michigan State, the Falcons lost a pair of one-goal games. However, the worse news of the weekend was that goaltender Jason Torf suffered a serious groin injury and would be out until after Christmas.

Senior Stephen Caple, who had three career starts, stepped in and was fantastic. In his first seven starts, Caple led the Falcons to a 5-0-2 re-cord. After a pair of close road losses at RIT and Mercyhurst, the Falcons rebounded to win four straight entering the holiday break had a 9-4-2 re-cord and were in first place in the conference.

After the break, the Falcons posted one of their biggest wins of the season as Caple made a career-high 33 saves in a 2-1 win over fifth-ranked Colorado College. The win was the first ever at the Colorado Springs World Arena and marked the fifth time in the last six years that the Falcons have beaten a team ranked in the top five in the nation.

However, after that win, the Falcons started their typical January slide, by going 0-3-3 in the next six games. The Falcons rebounded by earning three points at Army and three points at Canisius, and found themselves in fourth place in the league. Caple and Torf were splitting time in goal as the Falcons were about to face the top four teams in the league in the final four weeks of the regular season.

Entering February, Torf was given the start against first-place RIT and the sophomore re-sponded by making 25 saves in a 3-0 victory. AFA completed the sweep of the Tigers as Torf made 32 saves the next night in a 4-2 win. The four points vaulted the Falcons back into first place as the team went on the road and took three points from Niagara. After a split at home with Mercyhurst, the Falcons remained in first place heading into the final weekend of the regular season in Pittsburgh at Robert Morris. In the first game, Torf made 35 saves, but the Falcons fell 2-1 in overtime. Air Force would need a win in the final regular season game to clinch the No. 1 seed in the tournament. Torf posted his fourth shutout of the season with 25 saves as the Falcons blanked the Colonials, 3-0, to earn the team’s first ever outright regular-season title.

As the No. 1 seed, the Falcons hosted eighth-seeded UConn in the AHA quarterfinal best-of-three series. Game one seesawed back and forth until Kyle DeLaurell scored the game-winner with eight minutes left the Falcons had a 4-3 win. The next night, AFA again had a huge shot advantage, this time it was 47-14, but it was the Huskies that evened the series with a 3-1 win. In the third and deciding game, AFA again controlled play, but found itself down 3-2 late in the second period. Jason Fabian tied the game with just over a min-ute left in the second and George Michalke scored the game-winner early in the third. Caple, who came on in relief in the first two games, started game three and made 28 saves as the Falcons won 4-3 and earned a trip to the AHA Final Four for the sixth straight season.

In the first game, the top-seeded Falcons broke

open a tight game with fourth-seeded Mercyhurst for a 5-2 victory in the semifinals. Fabian’s goal with less than two minutes remaining in the third gave the Falcons a two-goal cushion. The top two teams in the AHA over the past six years met in the title game as the Falcons faced RIT. Cole Gunner and John Kruse each scored their second goals of the weekend as the Falcons built a 2-0 lead. Fabian added a goal in the second and an empty-netter late in the third as the Falcons won the tournament title with a 4-0 win. Jason Torf was named the tournament MVP as he stopped all 34 shots he faced in the championship game.

Air Force was sent to the NCAA Northeast Regional in Worcester, Mass., to face Boston Col-lege, the No. 1 overall seed. BC’s Chris Kreider gave the Eagles a 1-0 lead in the first period and the score was unchanged until late in the third period. After a questionable penalty with less than two minutes remaining, Kreider scored his second of the game as BC, the eventual national cham-pion, beat the Falcons, 2-0.

Despite the disappointment of the loss, the Falcons still had much to celebrate. The team finished the season with a 21-11-7 overall record, marking the second straight year the Falcons had won 20 or more games. The Falcons had won their seventh league championship (five tourna-ment and two regular-season) in the last six years. The senior class won five championships, more than any other class, and won 85 games to tie the school record set by the class of 2011.

Air Force finished the season with the high-est final national ranking in school history. The Falcons were 15th in the final USA Today/USA Hockey poll and 16th in the USCHO.com poll.

The United States Air Force Academy offers a four-year program of instruction and experience designed to educate, train and inspire men and women to become officers of character, motivated to lead the United States Air Force in service to our nation. Each cadet graduates with a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Air Force.

COURSE OF STUDY Cadets are exposed to a balanced curriculum that provides the knowledge, skills and responsibilities essential to a career Air Force officer. The entire USAFA experience is integrated and mapped to achieve a set of desired outcomes in every graduate. The core academic curriculum includes courses in basic sciences, engineering, social sciences and humanities. Cadets take additional elective courses to complete requirements for one of 32 major areas of study. About 50 percent of the cadets complete majors in science and engineering; the re-mainder graduate in the social sciences and humanities. Some of the most popular majors include management, aeronautical engineering, foreign area studies, history, behavioral science, civil engineering, astronautical engineering, electrical engineering and engineering mechanics.

FACULTY COMPOSITION The majority of the Academy’s faculty members, more than 500 total, are Air Force officers. They are selected primarily from career-officer volunteers who have established outstanding records of performance and dedication. Each has at least a master’s degree and more than 55 percent have doctorates or other terminal degrees in their field of study. About 30 percent of the faculty are civilians who bring great depth of disciplinary and educational expertise and provide academic stability and continuity. Faculty members are intensely focused on cadet learning as an integral part of their officer development. The Air Force Academy has been ranked No. 1 in the nation for the most accessible and involved faculty for four years in a row. To provide greater contributions by a diverse faculty, the Academy has several distinguished visiting professors and endowed professors who serve one or more years. Officers from other services, as well as officers from allied countries are also members of the faculty. Distinguished civil-ian and military lecturers also share their expertise with the cadets during the academic year.

ATHLETIC PROGRAM The Academy’s athletic program is designed to improve physical fit-ness, teach athletic skills and develop leadership qualities. To achieve its goals, the Academy offers some of the most extensive physical education,

intramural sports and intercollegiate athletic pro-grams in the nation. Cadets take at least three differ-ent physical education courses each year.

MILITARY EDUCATION AND TRAINING An air, space and cyberspace-oriented military edu-cation, training and leadership program begins with basic cadet training and continues throughout the four years. Seniors are responsible for the organiza-tional leadership of the cadet wing, while juniors and sophomores seek to develop team and interpersonal leadership and instructional skills. Cadets are pro-jected into as many active leadership roles as possible to prepare them to be effective Air Force officers. Fundamental concepts of military organization -- drill, ethics, honor, Air Force heritage and physical training -- are emphasized the first summer during

basic cadet training. Freshmen then study the military role in United States society as well as the mission and organization of the Air Force. Sopho-mores receive instruction in communication skills and juniors study the combat and operational aspects of the Air Force. The Academy offers courses in flying, navigation, soaring and para-chuting, building from basic skills to instructor duties. Some cadets may fly light aircraft with the Cadet Flying Team. Summer training for cadets is divided into three, three-week training pe-riods. There are a variety of programs available and each cadet is required to complete two training periods each summer with leave during the other period. All new cadets take six weeks of basic cadet training in their first summer. Combat survival training is a required three-week program during ca-dets’ second summer. For other second-summer training periods, cadets have options such as working with Airmen in an operational unit at an Air Force installation, airborne parachute training, soaring or basic free-fall parachute training. During their last two summers, all cadets are offered leadership training as supervisors or instructors in the summer programs listed above. Extracurricular activities also are an integral part of the education pro-gram. The cadet ski club, drum and bugle corps, cadet chorale and foren-sics are a few of the programs available.

NOMINATIONS Nominations to the Academy may be obtained through a congressional sponsor or by meeting eligibility criteria in other categories of competition established by law. For information on admission procedures, write to HQ USAFA/RRS; 2304 Cadet Drive, Suite 200; USAF Academy, CO 80840-5025 or go to www.usafa.edu.

HISTORY OF THE ACADEMY In 1948, a board of leading civilian and military educators was appointed to plan the curriculum for an academy that would meet the needs

of the newly established Air Force. The board determined that Air Force requirements could not be met by expanding the other service acad-emies and recommended an Air Force Academy be established without delay.

In 1949, then Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington appointed a commission to assist in selecting a site and on April 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized creation of the United States Air Force Academy. After considering 580 sites in 45 states, the com-mission narrowed the choice to three locations. The summer of 1954, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Talbott selected a site near Colorado Springs, Colo. Colorado contributed $1 million toward purchase of the property. In July 1955, the first Academy class entered interim facilities at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, while construction began. It was sufficiently completed for occupancy by the cadet wing in late August 1958. Initial construction cost was $142 million.Women entered the Academy on June 28, 1976, as members of the class of 1980.

Dr. Hans J. Mueh is in his ninth year as the director of athletics at the Air Force Academy. A retired Air Force briga-dier general,

Mueh was vice dean of faculty for two years prior to his retirement from active duty in the summer of 2004. Mueh was heavily involved in Academy athletics before becoming director of athletics. He was the Academy’s faculty ath-letics representative from 1996-2004 and was a long-time member of the board of directors for the Air Force Academy Athletics Association.

Since becoming the director of athletics, Mueh has led the Academy to some remark-able feats. In 2007, the Academy was one of only three schools (Michigan State and Boston College) to reach post-season play in football (2007), men’s basketball and ice hockey (2006-07). It marked the first time a service academy has ever had a team compete in the post-season in all three sports.

In addition, under Mueh’s watch the men’s basketball team has played in another NCAA tournament and the National Invitational Tour-nament’s Final Four. The ice hockey team has won the conference championship and ad-vanced to the NCAA tournament five of the last six years. Mueh was on the selection committee that hired current head coach Frank Serratore and led the Academy’s move into the Athletic Hockey Association.

The football program, the Academy’s flag-ship sport, has gone through a major overhaul under Mueh. He led the transition from the retirement of the legendary Fisher DeBerry after 23 years at the helm to hiring current head coach Troy Calhoun, a 1989 Academy gradu-ate. Calhoun’s impact was immediate, leading the Falcons to a 9-4 overall mark and a second-place finish in the Mountain West Conference in 2007. The Falcons qualified for their first bowl game in five years, playing in the Armed Forces Bowl in 2007. The program has gone to a school-record five consecutive bowl games and averaged over 9,000 bowl tickets sold dur-ing that time.

Mueh has been just as successful behind the scenes with the administration of the depart-ment. Mueh restructured the department with an internal/external model that has streamlined resources and made the department more ef-fective from top to bottom. In addition, he has the department on course to become a federally chartered non-profit organization which will

lead to more fund-raising opportunities.Mueh was instrumental in the USAFA En-

dowment and the announcement of the Holaday Athletic Center, an indoor training facility. The $15 million facility was completed in July 2011.

Mueh has also been active within the confer-ence and the NCAA. He was recently selected to be part of the NCAA Division I Amateurism Cabinet and has been active on the NCAA’s academics/eligibility compliance cabinet, the men’s golf committee and the region 7 post-graduate scholarship committee. Mueh has been equally active within the conference on vari-ous leadership committees. He is currently on the awards and recognition committee and has previously served on the joint council executive committee, and committees on championships, television and sportsmanship.

Before assuming his duties as vice dean at the Academy, Mueh was permanent profes-sor and head of the department of chemistry at the Academy, a position he held since October 1987 where he oversaw the annual design and instruction of 25 undergraduate courses for 1,500 cadets annually.

Mueh was born Jan. 8, 1944, in Celle, Ger-many, and emigrated to the United States in 1951. He entered the Air Force in 1962 as a member of the Academy’s eighth graduating class, and graduated with a bachelor of sci-ence degree in chemistry in 1966. While at the Academy, Mueh was a two-year letterwinner in soccer as a goalie. He still holds the Academy record for saves in a game with 30, accom-plishing it twice in 1965 against North Caro-lina and Benedictine. In his junior and senior years, Mueh helped the Falcons to the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League cham-pionship and quarterfinal berths in the NCAA tournament. He was a first-team all-league se-lection in 1965.

Following graduation, Mueh completed two assignments in intelligence before attending the University of Wisconsin where he earned his

master’s degree in chemistry in 1970. He later earned a doctorate degree in chemistry from Wisconsin in 1976 as a distinguished gradu-ate. He has also completed Squadron Officer School, Air Command and Staff College and Air War College.

Between earning the two degrees, Mueh returned to the Academy as an instructor in the department of chemistry from 1970-72. He also served as assistant soccer coach and played semi-pro soccer with the Aurora Internationals in Denver during those two years, leading the Internationals to the Colorado state title in 1971. He volunteered for duty in Vietnam and served as an intelligence officer in Saigon, Republic of Vietnam and at Nakhon Phanom RTAB, Thai-land, in 1972 and 1973.

After earning his doctorate degree, Mueh returned to the Academy in 1976 as an as-sociate professor of chemistry. He remained at the Academy except for a stint in 1985-86 as the special assistant for technical matters at the Defense Intelligence Agency at the Penta-gon.

In 1986, he assumed the position of acting head, department of chemistry, before being selected for his position of permanent profes-sor and head of the department of chemistry in 1987. As faculty athletics representative, he was active in both the Western Athletic Conference and Mountain West Conference, and was the Academy’s representative on the transition team to form the new MWC, the only faculty athlet-ics representative on the team. He competes in golf, racquetball, handball and tennis, and has promoted Air Force Academy intercollegiate sports throughout his tenure, beginning with work as chairman of the hockey eligibility com-mittee, officer representative to the men’s golf team and five years as the officer representative to the football team.

Mueh is married to the former Sally Flax of Cincinnati, Ohio. They have three children: Kristine, Kurt and Deborah.

Athletic Programs

Few schools in the country have an athletic program as extensive as the Air Force Academy’s. The goals of the athletic program are to enhance the physical condition-ing of all cadets, to develop the physical skills necessary for officership, to teach leadership in a competitive environment and to build character. There are three subdivisions of the athletic program: intercollegiate athlet-ics, intramurals and physical education. The intercollegiate program has 17 men’s and 10 women’s NCAA-sanctioned teams, facing some of the top competition in the nation. Men’s teams are football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, cross-country, fencing, golf, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track, lacrosse, rifle, soccer, swim-ming and diving, tennis, water polo and wrestling. The Academy fields women’s teams in basketball, cross-country, fencing, gymnastics, rifle, indoor and outdoor track, swimming and diving, soccer, tennis and volley-ball. In addition, the Academy sponsors two non-NCAA programs; boxing and cheerleading. The majority of the Academy’s men’s and women’s programs compete at the NCAA Division I level in the Mountain West Conference. The Fal-cons compete in this conference against teams from Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Hawai’i (football only), Nevada, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV and Wyoming. All sports also compete against non-conference opponents, including many nationallyranked teams. The football team competes annually for the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy, which is emblematic of service academy football supremacy. The Falcons have won the trophy 18 times, which is more than any other acad-emy. . The USAFA Cadet Field House is one of the most impressive buildings in the country. It’s a modern, versatile structure with seemingly endless uses. The $5.6 million building is five stories high and 396 feet by 426 feet, the size of three football fields laid side by side. The structure is divided into three areas--basketball arena, ice hockey arena and multipur-pose area. The three sections have a combined seating capacity of more than 9,000. Clune Arena seats 5,858. The Cadet Ice Rink has a seating capacity of 2,470, while the multipurpose area seats 1,000 fans for track and field competitions. The $3.8-million renovation to the Cadet Track Stadium, the outdoor home of the Air Force track and field team, was completed in the fall of 2011 and is one of the premier track and field facilities in the nation. The department’s newest facility is the Holaday Athletic Center, a $15.5M, completely donor funded indoor training facility, was completed in July 2011. The Cadet Fitness Center, a $9.5M, Military Construction project, home of the Air Force Academy’s fencing practice facility and aerobics/weight lifting facility that contains a nearly 33 foot climbing wall, opened in May 2012.


Sitting at more than 7,000 feet above sea level, air is rare at the Air Force Academy. The Cadet Ice Arena, with a capacity of 2,470, has proven that home ice certainly can be an advantage. The last two years, a ticket to Air Force hockey has been a hot commodity. Last season, AFA averaged 2,483 fans per game in 17 home games. AFA was the only school in the nation to average a sellout throughout the regular season and playoffs. Air Force averaged 100.5 percent of capacity last season, the highest average in the nation. AFA played in front of 10 home sellouts last season. The Cadet Ice Arena has been sold out 45 of the last 62 games entering the 2012-13 season. The Falcons have won more than 61 percent of all games played in the arena. In 44 seasons, the Falcons have had just 10 losing seasons at home. The team’s record of 453-278-41 merely scratches the surface.

In service academy competition, the true measure of any academy team, the Falcons are 15-5-2 against Army at the Cadet Ice Arena.

The Falcons’ first season of varsity hockey was the 1968-69 season when the team posted a 5-7 record at home. Air Force then went on to eight straight winning seasons at home. The Falcons finished 17-1 at home in 1974-75 and 14-3 at home in 1976-77. The team set a school record by winning 13 straight home games from Nov. 11, 1974 to Jan. 13, 1975. After two straight home losing seasons, Frank Serratore brought more than just winning hockey back to the “CIA.” In his first season, he led AFA to a 13-8 record. In 2008-09, AFA was 16-4 at home, the sixth best home winning percentage in his-

tory.The arena was originally built as part of the Cadet Field House in 1968.

Throughout the years, the arena has seen improvements. In September 2000, the surface, refrigeration system, boards and glass were all replaced. In the summer of 2009, a new video board was installed on the south wall of the arena. Along with the video board, a new center-hung scoreboard and new sound system were added to the arena.

The spring, summer and fall of 2007 brought new events to the Cadet Ice Arena. On March 10, 2007, the arena hosted its first ever playoff game as the Falcons defeated Holy Cross, 3-0. On Sept. 16, 2007, the arena hosted its ever professional game as the Colorado Avalanche played their annual Bur-gundy-White game at the Academy.
