On September 16th, Atlantic Hockey America announced its annual Preseason All-Conference Team. This season, Army junior winger Jack Ivey was honored by being selected to the 2026 Team, the league announced. Hailing from San Diego, California, Ivey is coming off a sophomore campaign in which he scored 25+ points for a second consecutive season for the Black Knights.
Leading the team in scoring with 14 goals and 14 assists, that type of production earned Ivey Second Team All-AHA honors. This is Jack’s third conference honor of his career, previously earning AHA All-Rookie Team honors in 2024–25.
This season, alongside his twin brother, Ben, and Nils Forselius, not only does Army have one of the deadliest lines in the Atlantic Hockey America, but Jack enters the season as one of the conference’s most dynamic returning forwards.
“He [Jack Ivey] has got a lot of potential,” said head coach Zach McKelvie. “He’s big, can play a 200-foot game, and can score goals. And for Jack, he wants to score, too. Like, he understands that’s part of his game. So that’s nice when you have a guy that has that mentality. He doesn’t look to defer. He looks to put it in the back of the net. And you need a few guys like that who take that ownership, and he certainly does. So we’re proud that he got that recognition.”
Last season, Jack’s 14 goals ranked seventh in the conference, but fifth in goals per game (0.40). Ivey was also automatic on the man-advantage, finishing second in Atlantic Hockey and 12th nationally with seven power-play goals.
Jack returns to West Point this fall after taking his “Oath of Affirmation,” committing the next seven years of his life to the US Army.
In his first two full seasons at Army, Ivey has appeared in 73 games, totaling 53 points, including 24 goals. For the Black Knights to have a big year, Jack Ivey must be one of Zach McKelvie’s best players in 2026-2027.
Ivey and the Black Knights open the 2026-27 campaign at Tate Rink with an exhibition against Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on Friday, October 2nd, before hosting Union College on Saturday, October 3rd.
