Getting To Know Zak Zaremba Why did you choose West Point? World class education, an opportunity to give back to my country, and to play Division I hockey.

If we weren't, he'd help us out in any way he could. Favorite part about Army hockey? The camaraderie amongst the boys. It's unlike anything I've ever been a part of. I am most looking forward to playing? The Icebreaker and Air Force. How would you describe Coach Riley? Intense, for the players, understanding. Favorite Army jersey? Gold. Favorite NHL jersey?
