WEST POINT, N.Y. - Following the postponement of this week's scheduled series at Air Force, the Army West Point hockey team has announced the addition of two home contests against Long Island University (LIU) on Friday, Jan. 15 and Saturday, Jan. 16 at Tate Rink.

The meetings will be the first between the two programs, as the LIU hockey team is in its inaugural season. It will also mark the first matchups between Army head coach Brian Riley and his nephew, Brett Riley, who was named the first head coach of the LIU hockey program back in May.

Friday's contest is slated to begin at 5:05 p.m., while Saturday's game is scheduled for a 7:05 p.m. start.

The Black Knights (2-4-0, 2-3-1-0) will look to build off the momentum of Sunday's 5-3 victory over AHA rival American International. Junior Colin Bilek enters the series with 7 points (6-1-7) in the last three games.
