Xlibris biographical release pays tribute to the Father of Hockey in the US Military Academy

Author Marilyn Marchand Moore pens a biography paying tribute to the father of US military Academy Ice Hockey from the perspective of both a biographer who also happens to be the celebrated ice-hockey coach’s daughter.

“The name Marchand is synonymous with Hockey in the US Army Military Academy at WestPoint”, so writes cadet Danny Nolan in his article for The POINTER, the US Military Academy at WestPoint’s official organ.

Under Ray’s watch, the USMA witnessed a surge in performance in the national athletics field, raising its banner in a long running rally through the 1920’s at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

“Coach Ray Marchand gave about twenty years of service to the cadets of the United States Military Academy as their hockey and soccer coach. Service that went beyond the norm…”, shares one of the great coach’s athletes.

For Marilyn Marchand Moore, the task of piecing together the highlights of her father’s distinguished service as a civilian coach in the pre-eminent academy is nothing less than poignant and inspiring. With numerous accounts of persistence and dedication from cadets who later went on to become decorated military servicemen.
