First discussed in 1921 between Canadian Brigadier General Douglas MacArthur and West Point Superintendent Major General Sir Archibald McDonnell was a friendly but competitive championship between cadets of both Canada's and the United States's armies. The first game was played in 1923. RMC presented the Challenge Trophy to the Army in commemoration of the first game. The US Army awards any member of an Army team that beats RMC with a gold star that goes over the "A" on their jersey to commemorate the accomplishment. As of 2007, Army leads the all-time series 39-29-7. External links:
