The Black Knights represented the United States Military Academy and were coached by Brian Riley, in his 18th season.

Despite in uptick in the goaltending, however, Army's offense suffered early in the year and the Black Knights went winless in their first six games.

The team picked up their game in late October and managed to climb their way back to a .500 record by the winter break with senior All-American Colin Bilek leading the way.

An uptick in COVID-19 positives in January didn't affect Army too badly, however, it caused the cancellation of their annual meeting with the Royal Military College Paladins for the second straight season.

Fortunately for the Black Knights, Atlantic Hockey was a sea of mediocrity that year and Army managed to finish third in the conference standings despite being just 1 game above .500.
