Getting To Know Mac Lalor
Why did you choose West Point? I wanted to play Division I hockey at a top academic school in the country. West Point invited me down for a visit and I knew this was the place for me. I knew it wouldn't be the normal college experience, but I felt it would be a great investment for my future.
Talk about the impact that Major Tom Kennedy had on you? He was the go-to guy on the team and he helped us all out so much, and never asked for anything in return. He would come up to the rink just to say hi to the guys, and he was always in a good mood and a fun guy to talk to. Although I only knew Major Kennedy for a year, he had a huge impact on all of us and we'll really miss him around here.
Favorite part about Army hockey? The guys on the team. The best part of my day is walking in the lounge and seeing all the guys and hanging out before we head out onto the ice for practice every day The camaraderie amongst the boys is unlike anything I've ever been a part of.
How would you describe Coach Riley? Great guy, cares about all the guys on the team.
Favorite Army jersey? White.
