<\/strong>Goaltenders Keith Hall & Pat McIntosh would start the Musketeers inaugural season in goal for the Musketeers. Keith would earn the starting position and Pat would work as the back-up. Keith would\u00a0 garner most of the starts this season as the goaltender corps posted a 16-24 inaugural season record. A mid-season roster addition would bring in another back-up goaltender Pete Maxwell.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Keith Hall<\/strong> would join the newly formed Musketeers after playing three seasons for the University of Denver Pioneers (NCAA). He would log a pair of seasons in Sioux City and during this first rookie season saw him take on the starting duties; posting a fifteen and twenty-five record that inaugural season. He would be voted the first ever Musketeers’ Most Valuable Player<\/strong>. Keith would play the following season as well splitting time between three other goaltenders he would still manage a winning season recording eight wins in thirteen starts.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Pat McIntosh<\/strong> also a rookie this season, saw limited playing time. Providing back-up and relief for the starter, he still earned some time between the pipes for the Musketeers.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Pete Maxwell<\/strong> would join the Musketeers for the first of three season. Also arriving after playing for the University of Denver, he would put in his first of three seasons as a Musketeer. This rookie season Pete would see limited game-time, however, he brought other elements to the Musketeer organization, those being the leadership and the knowledge of how to begin building a goaltender corps for the newly formed Musketeers.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

become one of the classic rivalries the League would come to know.\u00a0 This was Sioux City’s first play-off appearance and first round play-off
series with the Blackhawks was bound to be exciting.

Sioux City won the first of the three game series and while tied 4-4 in game two,\u00a0a fight between ‘Hawks Ed Starkey and Sam Nelligan
erupted, as the players were separated, a Waterloo “fan” sprayed the Musketeer bench with mace. One ‘Hawk player, two Musketeer
players and their trainer were all hospitalized. Following a nearly hour long delay, the game was resumed. However, Waterloo quickly
tallied the game winner and the Musketeers lost 6-4.

Between the Pipes
<\/b>\u00a0Sioux City’s goaltending was starting to solidify. Under the tutelage of third year veteran Pete Maxwell,\u00a0 returning year veteran Terry
Mulroy\u00a0would be joined by rookie Ralph Kloiber this season, they would lead Sioux City to their first ever USHL\u00a0 play-off series.
Terry would claim the starter position and earn 29 games while Ralph provided a steady rotation and saw time in 19 games.
\u00a0Pete would also log a a handful of games, but his larger contribution was his ability to provide the
leadership and guidance to build a successful goaltending corps.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Terry Mulroy:\u00a0<\/b>In his second season (74-75) as a Musketeer,\u00a0he would naturally earn the starting position and see action in thirty
\u00a0Musketeer games. He would finish the season with a 19-9-1 record and lead the Musketeers to their first USHL play-off series.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ralph Kloiber:\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0Joined the Musketeers for the first of three seasons (74-77) in Sioux City. In his rookie season, he assumed his
back-up duties and finished with a winning 10-9 record. Ralph would become the starter next season as the Musketeers
shot for a USHL play-off Championship.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Pete Maxwell:<\/b>\u00a0Serving his third season (72-75) as a Musketeer goalie, Pete was marking his make in the goaltender leadership
role. He still found time to play in several games, however, his main focus was on building a solid goaltending group.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Superior State University. During his senior collegian season, the defenseman was selected as the Team Captain and lead
the team in scoring\u00a0with sixty-one points; recording both team leading twenty-five goals and thirty-six assists. His only
season was much of the same as a Musketeer, brought in because of his defensive talents, his offensive skills were a
great addition to the team where he recorded just\u00a0over a point per game, scoring 36 points in just 28 games.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

on the Musketeer’s All Time\u00a0Scorers list. Jimmy too would stay in Sioux City and make huge contributions to SYHA and
High School teams. In 1994 and 2003 he would lead the Metros to a pair State\/League Championships.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Did You know…<\/i><\/b>This picture of Jimmy and me is one of my favorites. As a young player I watched Jimmy from the stands as he
racked-up points as well as penalty minutes. Here I am waiting to get his autograph. Little did I know that years later this
childhood hero would become one of my best hockey friends. From officiating USHL games together, reffing high school
games when he was coaching to playing adult league pick-up, Jimmy still remains one of the greatest Musketeers ever!!!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

minutes. Jimmy Peck makes both lists again this season by recording 82 penalty minutes while finishing third in scoring. Rookies Mark

Bobby Hutten played for the Musketeers for two seasons . Don’t let the hair fool you…This guy was a fighter, who could play
hockey. His “Golden Gloves” awards made him one of the toughest guys in the league.<\/span>\u00a0Joining the Musketeers this season, the
rookie afforded Sammy a few nights off and he made good use of the time. He racked-up 151 penalty minutes in just thirty-four

<\/span>League consists of eight Member teams playing a\u00a0forty-eight<\/b>\u00a0game regular season schedule.
\u00a0North Division:<\/b>\u00a0Austin Mavericks, Bloomington Stars, Green Bay Bobcats, St. Paul Vulcans
South Division :<\/b>\u00a0Waterloo Black Hawks, Dubuque Fighting saints, Des Moines Buccaneers, Sioux City Musketeers<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This season the Waterloo Black Hawks move to Dubuque to become the Fighting Saints. The\u00a0 Hennepin (MN) Nordiques would
relocate to Waterloo and become the Black Hawks. This series of moves, makes Sioux City the only remaining “original”\u00a0 USHL team.

The Musketeers could only muster a mere 12 wins during the 48 game season and finished 53 points behind the Anderson, Clark and Gold
Cup Champions, the Dubuque Fighting Saints.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0It was a dark time in the Musketeer history and as the season ended, the Musketeer franchise
teetered on the brink of\u00a0 disaster<\/span>

During the second part of the season, past Musketeer\u00a0Dave LeGree<\/b>\u00a0(77-79) would take over head coaching duties on an interim basis.
Dave earned his first win as a USHL Head Coach on January 16th, 1980 a 13-3 win over the Waterloo Black Hawks.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0Note:<\/b>\u00a0Sioux City native and SYHA player, Mike Bennett (Metros Class of ’80)\u00a0 would join the Musketeers this season\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/b>Things got worse before they got better, the following season (80-81) the team struggled and could only muster 12 wins.
\u00a0However, Doug’s final season (81-82) would be a spectacular as he helps lead the Musketeers to a USHL Regular Season
Championship, a USHL Play-off\u00a0 Championship and a second place finish at the Jr. A National Tournament. He was also

he posted eighty-six regular season points, including forty goals & thirty-six assists and finished third in Musketeer scoring. He

<\/span><\/b>Round 1 \/ USHL Play-Offs<\/span>
Opening round of the USHL play-offs is a round-robin tournament of the League’s top six finishers. The Musketeers look
to be out-of-gas, losing the first two tournament games on the road to Des Moines and Austin. However, the Audi is a
welcome site for the Musketeers, and as usual, on home ice, they dominate their remaining three opponents, Dubuque,
Bloomington &\u00a0St. Paul, outscoring them 24-7. The round-robin tournament weeds-out four of\u00a0 the top five teams
and finds Sioux City taking on the Des Moines Buccaneers who had\u00a0just soundly beat them 5-2 the previous week.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Musketeers vs. Des Moines Buccaneers<\/b><\/span>
Championship Series \/ USHL Play-Offs<\/span>
The series opens in Des Moines and the game starts out with a surprise presentation of Bob Ferguson’s USHL Coach
of the Year Award by his parents in from Kingston, Ont. Brian Williams scores four goals and adds three assists, tieing
a Musketeer scoring record of eight points in a game, and Doug Spedding stops 26 shots on goal to secure a convincing
game one win.\u00a0 Game two saw Fred Kaminska’s coast-to-coast-tie breaking goal, with just a minute left in regulation,
secure a 7-4 victory and a 2-0 series lead.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The offence continues to put pucks in the net with both teams putting seven goals on the board, however an overtime goal
\u00a0by Des Moines Jeff Ulrich keeps the Bucs hopes alive. Sioux City launches 66 shots on goal, but only finds the back of
the net twice; the Bucs fire 40 shots of their own, lighting the lamp three times and taking the series back to Sioux City
for a final winner take all game.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In front of a record setting crowd of 2802 Musketeers fans, they packed the Audi hoping for the franchise’s first Clark Cup
Championship. Game five tensions were high on both sides and even before the National Anthem, a pair of fights erupted
during the warm-ups resulting in penalties to both teams including Musketeers Brian Williams, Jeff Jacobs and Fred Kaminska.
This set the table for a barn-burner. However, the Musketeers jump all over the Bucs in the first period, putting nineteen
shots on goal and scoring five times. The Musketeers kept the pressure on scoring another two goals in the second and
one in the third\u00a0 for a final 8-2 Musketeer victory and their first USHL Clark Cup Championship.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

“Worst to First”
<\/span>The Musketeers wrap-up a Cinderella season; going from a team that previous season so bad, they almost suspended
\u00a0operations – to winning both the United States Hockey League Anderson and Clark Cup Champions.

1<\/b><\/span>982 NHL Draft
<\/b><\/span>Held on June 9th at the Montreal Forum
In just the second season as a Junior League, the USHL places four players among the NHL draftees. One of them in the first round
when St. Paul Vulcans player Phil Housley is selected sixth by the Buffalo Sabres. He would become the League’s first great player,
\u00a0logging twenty-one seasons in the NHL, playing in 1580 plus games and recording 1288 total points.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n



<\/span>
<\/span>League consists of seven Member teams playing a\u00a0forty-eight<\/b>\u00a0game regular season schedule. Green Bay leaves league. One division.
\u00a0<\/b>Austin Mavericks, Bloomington Stars, St. Paul Vulcans, Waterloo Black Hawks, Dubuque Fighting Saints, Des Moines Buccaneers, Sioux City Musketeers<\/span><\/p>\r\n

After last seasons success the Musketeers look to rebuild a seriously depleted squad including forwards, defensemen and goaltenders. Sixty some
\u00a0hopefuls from all over the country report to try-out camp where coach will have the daunting task to cut that number in half in just a short time.
\u00a0Returning from last years championship team are forwards Pete Ryskamp, Duane Fonger, Dave Witham & Mike Sellke and defensemen
\u00a0Mark Hagen and Jeff Jacobs. Absent is a veteran goalie have lost both of their starters from the prior season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Although the Musketeers bettered their winning record from last year by five games (34-14-0) they still finished in second place, behind the
Dubuque Fighting Saints. The Musketeers would again make it to the USHL Championship finals but fall short to the Dubuque Fighting Saints.
Their trip to Nationals resulted again in a second place finish to, you guessed it…Dubuque. And just like last year, just one goal short.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

USHL Play-Offs
<\/span>Musketeers vs. St Paul Vulcans<\/span>
<\/span><\/b>Round 1 \/\u00a0 USHL Play-Offs
The Musketeers prepare to take on the St. Paul Vulcans in a best of five series. The League’s sixth-best team\u00a0 shocks the Musketeers
on home ice with a 4-3 win; placing the first bump in the road for the defending Clark Cup Champs. Game two is just as exciting;
Sioux City scored twice in 56 seconds to send the game into overtime. Both both team fired a total of 92 shots on goal and the game
stayed deadlocked until Rick Swarbrick scored just two minutes into the second overtime. Swarbrick continues with the\u00a0hot stick<\/i>\u00a0scoring
two goals in game three, winning 4-3 and Todd Donaldson wrapped-up the series with an OT red-lighter with another 4-3 victory.<\/span><\/p>\r\n


<\/span>Musketeers vs. Des Moines Buccaneers<\/span>
<\/span><\/b>Round 2 \/\u00a0 USHL Play-Offs
After a six day break, the repaired and rested Musketeers match-up with the Des Moines Buccaneers. With Sioux City beating the Bucs
\u00a0seven out of ten games; the Musketeers were perfect at home, but struggled on the Capitol City’s ice, winning only twice in five meetings.
Game one saw the Bucs dominate on home ice, scoring three unanswered goals in the first and three more in the second for a 7-2 series
opening win.

Returning to Sioux City for games two & three; the redemption\/revenge seeking Musketeers entered the Audi with a chip on their shoulder
\u00a0after the game one spanking from the Bucs. The Musketeers came to play, peppering the Bucs goaltender with 26 shots in the first period
\u00a0but could only muster a 3-3 tie after the first. The Musketeers would add 35 more shots on goal in the game, but only four got past goaltender
\u00a0Mark Pagnac. Al Ericksson scored three times and Dana Orent stood on his head, to hold off the Bucs and even the series.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0Musketeers vs. Des Moines \/ Game 3<\/span><\/b>
Saturday’s game three is expected to be a knockdown-drag out contest as both teams consider this game a crucial win in this
second round series. The pressure is on for Sioux City to keep last nights the momentum going; and for the Bucs to continue to work
\u00a0the defending champs on the ropes. The Musketeers launch 20 shots on goal and score six times in the first period jumping
out to a 6-1 lead. They never look back, winning easily 8-2.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

However, the game will mostly be remembered by the altercation Des Moines players and the Sioux City fans. With
just five minutes gone in the\u00a0first period Des Moines players and Sioux City fans became engaged in an altercation the stands.
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
Head Coach Ivan Prediger became involved with a pair of Sioux City fans and what started as a verbal assault, escalated into a
physical one as the coach, trainer and the players entered the stands. A pair of altercations took place, resulting in the arrest of two
Sioux City fans and the pair of Bucs being charges with disorderly conduct.<\/span><\/p>\r\n


The officials look on as the Des Moines Buccaneers enter the stands five minutes into the second round, game three play-off
match-up. The Musketeers were already up by three goals when the evening really started to get interesting.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Des Moines Buccaneer Bob Anzalone points to the stands looking for whoever threw the “keys to the camper”. On-site police and
security were quickly on the scene and were able to defuse the volatile situation. The melee lasted about ten minutes and delayed the
game for close to an hour as the Bucs headed to the locker room and threatened to not return to the game.
\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Two more Musketeer goals in the second period sealed the win for the home team as the Bucs try to run out the clock and regroup
for tomorrow night’s game back on their home ice.

USHL Championship<\/span><\/b>
Musketeers vs. Dubuque Fighting Saints
\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The USHL’s two best teams will meet again. The defending Clark Cup Champs meet their arch rivals and Anderson Cup winners the
Dubuque Fighting Saints. However, but not before an 11 day break in order for both teams to send their USHL All-Stars to the Coupe
Beard Tournament in Switzerland. Dubuque won the regular\u00a0season with a record of\u00a0 39-8-1 with Sioux City just behind them with
a 34-14 record. The championship series, traditionally, a best\u00a0of five series, is shortened to a best of three series due to ice scheduling
\u00a0conflicts in both host cities. Both these teams will also represent the USHL at next week’s National Tournament in Dubuque.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Musketeers vs. Dubuque Fighting Saints
<\/span><\/b>USHL Clark Cup Championship \/ Game 1
The best of three series opens in Dubuque; game one is a must win for both teams. Dubuque is nearly perfect at home, losing
only twice on their ice, however, one of those losses is to the Musketeers. Sioux City, likewise, is nearly unbeatable on their own ice
\u00a0so the Musketeers need to win this important game one. The Saints took a commanding lead into the third period leading 3-1.
\u00a0However, an Al Erickson goal making it 3-2\u00a0 shifted the momentum to the visitors and they peppered the Saints goalie in the
\u00a0final minutes, but couldn’t break the twine.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Musketeers vs. Dubuque Fighting Saints
<\/span><\/b>USHL Clark Cup Championship \/ Game 2
Game two returns to the Audi and is another a must win for the Musketeers. Unfortunately the the Saints jump on the weary Musketeers
scoring three unanswered goals in the first and three more on the second taking a 6-3 lead into the third period. Both teams launched
numerous shots on goal, but only traded a goal each in the third, giving the Saints 3-2 triumph.

Jr. A National Championship<\/span>
<\/span><\/b>Five Flags Center \/ Dubuque, IA
Sioux City would get one more chance at solving the Dubuque Fighting Saints as they both enter the five team round-robin
tournament as one of the favorites. Other teams include the Chicago Jets of the Central\u00a0 Hockey League, Lowell Chiefs of the
Massachusetts Junior League and Paddock Pools of the Great Lakes Hockey League.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0 6- Musketeers vs. Dubuque-8<\/span><\/b>
Game 1 \/ April 13th
The tournament favorites meet right away and the Saints hit the Musketeers quickly-lighting the lamp four times in the first
minute of all three periods and often-launching 42 shots on goal. Scott Dub scored twice and Al Ericksson once in the final

6-Musketeers vs. Chicago Jets-6<\/span><\/b>
Game 2 \/ April 14th
The Musketeers offence roared back in game two; putting 52 shots on goal and scoring four times in the first period. However,
the Chicago Jets\u00a0 were up for the challenge from one of the USHL’s best teams; also scoring four times in the first and turning-
away 46 potential red-lighters. Each team added\u00a0 a pair of goals as the final horn sounded ending the game in a tie.

10- Musketeers vs. Lowell Chiefs-3<\/span><\/b>
Game 3 \/ April 15th

\u00a02-Musketeers vs. Dubuque-3<\/span><\/b>
April 17th \/ Championship
In a much expected and anticipated all USHL National Championship showdown it would be the defending USHL champs taking
on the current USHL Champs. With the Saints dominating the Musketeers over the last games they have been victorious eleven times in
\u00a0thirteen outing against the Musketeers. However, when it comes to one single game-anything can happen. Sioux City jumped out
\u00a0to an early lead scoring twice in the first and shutting down the Saints in the second period, however, the defense faltered and the
offence stalled in the third and the Saint scored twice, giving them the victory and “Triple Crown” bragging rights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Musketeers would consider this a rebuilding season with only seven returning veterans; Dana Orent is back and looks to build
on his\u00a0prior season’s honors of\u00a0 the USHL’s best goaltender. Also returning are forwards Scott Dub, Rick Swarbrick & Keith
Schermele and\u00a0defensemen Jerry Viti, Tom Shinabargar & Keith Savaire. The Musketeers perform well during the season
posting an overall third-place finish\u00a0with a 31-14-2 record.

However, the Musketeers would excel during the\u00a0second season<\/i>\u00a0and find themselves playing in the Clark Cup final.\u00a0 After the
\u00a0underdog Musketeers would build a 3 game- to-one lead on the St. Paul Vulcans, they would lose three in a row for another
second place finish.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

round game to Frasier Flags of Michigan but rebound with a win over Lowell, however it was downhill from there as the Musketeers
posted losses to St. Paul and Buffalo and skating to a tie with eventual tournament champions the Chicago Jets.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Musketeers vs. St. Paul Vulcans
<\/b><\/span>USHL Championship Series
Looking for their second Clark Cup victory since the new League formation, the Musketeer have an uphill battle taking on the regular
season champions from St. Paul. The League’s hottest goalie Dana Orent stops all but one of 33 Vulcan shots for an opening series
road win. Building on the previous game’s success he only allows three goals on 44 shots and Mike Sparago notches a pair of goals
and three assists secures another road win for the Musketeers.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Scheduling conflicts with the Auditorium force the Musketeers to play their home games for the championship series at the old Bubble,
\u00a0now called the Marina Inn Convention Center. The Musketeers return\u00a0 “home” for game’s three and four. Almost unbeatable at
Audi the unfamiliar surroundings plays much like a travel game and the Musketeers lose game three 3-1 but rebound for a
\u00a05-4 win giving the Musketeers a 3 games to 1 edge.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Returning to St. Paul the Musketeers still like their chances\u00a0 needing only a single win in the next three tries. The Musketeer can’t
get the offence going and lose a nail biter in overtime 3-2. With the pressure still on the Vulcans the teams return to Sioux City\u00a0 but they
can’t finish the job, losing a second time in a row at “home”. Game seven is a nail-biter going into the third but the Vulcan light the lamp
three times in the final period for a 5-3 championship win.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Musketeers open pre-season camp looking for many new players. Returning are just a handful of veterans in goaltender Steve O’Shea,
forwards Scott Shoffstall & Jon McGurk and defenseman Matt Shaw. Head Coach and now General Manager Bob Ferguson have an
uphill climb ahead of him-replacing 260 lost goals from last season

The League adds two new teams this season; The Thunder Bay Flyers and the Madison Capitols.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Off to a slow start, the Musketeers opened with a 3-11 record and traded wins and loses through the break. The did finish the second
half strong and lost only 6\u00a0 games in the second half of the season finishing good enough to make the play-offs. However, the St. Paul
dispatched them quickly in the first round. There was no trip to Nationals this season, but the year ended with high hopes for
the next season.\u00a0No one could have ever imagined just how high they would be!!!\u00a0<\/b>

\u00a0Matt Shaw\u00a0<\/b>logged a pair of seasons (83-85) in Sioux City. During the previous season he would score three goals and ten assists
\u00a0and record forty-two penalty minutes. He would also see regular time in last season’s Clark Cup play-offs and the Junior “A” National
\u00a0Tournament. This second season would see Matt take on a bigger role being selected Team Captain. He would play a complete season
\u00a0and increase his scoring numbers, knocking in eight goals and adding 36 regular season points, finishing as the Musketeer’s fourth
leading scorer. Matt would receive the Musketeers\u00a0Mr. Spirit Award\u00a0<\/b>as well as earn selections to both the\u00a0USHL All-Star<\/b>\u00a0 and the
USHL International All-Star Teams<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Scott Shoffstall:\u00a0<\/b>Logged a pair of seasons (83-85) as a Musketeer but what a pair they were!!! As a rookie to the USHL Scott put
up 30 goals and added 47 assists; his 77 regular season points to finish second in Musketeer scoring. He was a consistent and reliable
\u00a0scorer as the Musketeers made runs at the Clark Cup and National Championships. Returning for his second season his scoring
\u00a0numbers would get even better. Scoring 63 goals and adding 51 assists (48 game schedule); leading the team in scoring. He would
\u00a0be selected as Team Captain and earn spots on the\u00a0USHL All-Star Team<\/b>\u00a0and the\u00a0USHL International All-Star Team<\/b>. By the
\u00a0time the season ended, Scott would pick up the\u00a0Musketeer’s<\/b>\u00a0Most Valuable Player\u00a0<\/b>Award\u00a0<\/b>as well as the\u00a0USHL’s\u00a0Most

Musketeers vs.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span>St. Paul Vulcans
<\/b><\/span>Round 1 \/ Quarter Finals
In what could be a pairing of dead-even teams the Musketeers and Vulcans finished just two points apart. The best of five,
alternating location, series would open at home, but the Musketeers would give up the first goal of the game. However, the
momentum would swing, with three minutes left in the first, when Mike Fowler and Vin Pumilo score goals twelve seconds
apart and the Musketeers go on to win game one 4-1. Returning to St. Paul, a three minute laps in focus costs the
Musketeer three goals and the Vulcans go on to win 5-3. One can almost see the Musketeers running out of gas as the
can muster just a single goal on home ice, in game three loss and only three goals in a 6-3 series clincher.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Game two saw the Musketeers set their sights on the other NAHL representative; the St Clare Shores Falcons. Fresh off a prior
day decisive 9-3 win over the Rochester Mustangs, the Falcons suddenly fancied themselves tournament contenders. Set to take
on the tournament favorites the Falcons came to play stunning the Musketeers jumping out to a 3-1 after two periods and 4-1 in
the early stages of the final period. However, the Musketeers weren’t done yet and hung four strait goals on the Falcons for
what everyone assumed would be the\u00a0come from behind<\/i>\u00a0win of the weekend. But with just forty-two seconds remaining the
Falcons slipped in the tieing goal.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Game three brought together two very familiar teams; until Wednesday’s upset loss to St. Clare, the Mustangs were the other
tournament favorite. Successful against the Musketeers only once in thee last eight meetings they still had something to prove; with
a chance for a win in this game three the results would mean a rematch in the championship the next night. The Musketeers would
own the first period, jumping out to a three goal lead and sending the impression that the game was over. Rochester wasn’t going away
\u00a0and scored four unanswered second period goals taking the lead and setting the stage for final period nail-biter.\u00a0 However, it was time
\u00a0for the Musketeers to do what they did best all season and that’s put pucks in the net; Scoring five times in the third the Musketeers
would earn a chance at the National Championship.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

With identical records of a pair of wins and a tie the Musketeers would again meet up with the St. Clare Shores Falcons; the teams
deadlocked\u00a0in game two both scoring five goals each. The Musketeers would again start the championship game in control completing
the second period\u00a0with a 3-0 lead. The momentum quickly changed when the Falcons scored a pair of goals before two minutes had
elapsed in the third. The\u00a0Musketeers answered back, but St. Clare wasn’t done yet and the Falcons added two more goals before the
final horn. After a scoreless first overtime, League MVP Tim Ferguson tips-in a shot from Team Captain Tim Bullock and just like
that the Musketeers are Junior Hockey National Champions.

Musketeer and USHL scoring record books. By the time the season ended Rod had finished the season as the Leagues second highest
scorer with 105 points. However, his 67 goals and 24 Power Play goals would both become league records that still stand today. This was
all achieved in what was then a regular season of 48 games. Rod would be selected the\u00a0USHL 1st Team and also the Musketeers

Rod Taylor stuns the league when he tallies up 67 regular season goals; four more than the current USHL single season scoring record

Tim Bullock:<\/b>\u00a0Joined the Musketeer during the 84-85 season where he posted 5 (3\/2) points as a rookie. The following season (85-86)
was a different story…Selected team Captain, his 36 (7\/29) regular season points would help, but it was his leadership that played a huge
part in that Triple-Crown Championship Season. His goal in Double Over-time secured the Jr. A National Championship. He was selected
to both the All-Star Game and a member of the USHL All-Star team. In his finals season (86-87) he would finish among the top eight

won 10 of their last 12 games to capture the 7th place play-off spot. They would finish the season with a 17-30-1 record. Matched against the
very strong St. Paul Vulcans in the Play-offs, the Musketeer were defeated in the first round, best of five series.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Joe Schwartz<\/b>\u00a0logged a single season in Sioux City where he played 23 games. However his physical play was fully felt as he

<\/span>Rookies\u00a0Brian Leitza<\/b>\u00a0&\u00a0Dieter Kochan<\/b>\u00a0would challenge each other for the open starting position. Both seemed comfortable
either starting or providing the relief during the long season. Brian logged 26 games and Dieter logged 23 going 15-25-1 for the
season. Rookie\u00a0Brian Kreft<\/b>\u00a0would join the team late in the season but still work in the rotation for 11 games.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
Brian Leitza:<\/b>\u00a0This would be the first of three seasons as a Musketeer. He would share the starting duties this season, until a
late season trade made him the starter. He would log twenty-six games for the Musketeers and account for eight of the
Musketeer wins that season. He would boast a save percentage of 0.88 just .03 behind the league’s top goaltender. Brian
was off and running on a three season career in Sioux City that would end in a run for the Clark Cup Championship.\u00a0

Dieter Kochan<\/b>\u00a0played just a single season in Sioux City and was the other half of a steady rotation that saw him play in
twenty-three games and secure seven Musketeer victories. His goals against average of\u00a0 0.88 was third highest among the
leagues backstops. A late season trade would move the future NHLer to the BCHL for the remainder of the season.
Following that, he would\u00a0 play at Northern Michigan University for three seasons before embarking on a professional
career that would last 10 seasons.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Brian Kreft:\u00a0<\/b>Brought in as a late season addition, he still garnered 11 starts with four wins before the regular season ended.
The following season he would work the back-up position to a very successful veteran goaltender. He would still get eleven
games in before a trade moved him to Wisconsin to play for the Capitols (USHL). After three seasons at the University of
Wisconsin-Eau Claire, Brian would go on to play two more for the Madison Monsters, Winston-Salem Icehawks and the
Saginaw Gears of the UHL.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Marty Kernaghan<\/b>, originally arrived in Sioux City playing softball for the eventual International Softball Congress’s record
setting team Penn Corps\/National Health Care. Best known\u00a0by fast pitch softball fans as the\u00a0best third baseman in the world<\/i>,
Marty was a pretty good hockey player too having spent several seasons in the IHL. He would work the Musketeer bench for
five seasons, before taking over the General Manager and Hockey Operations positions for four more seasons.

Dick Earle<\/b>\u00a0was also a soft ball holdover, taking care of the area’s Championship Fast Pitch team during the summer and the
Musketeers during the winter.\u00a0Billy Danderand<\/b>\u00a0was here from the very beginning of Musketeer hockey, he too was a

Did You Know…<\/b>Sioux City was home of the International Softball Congress power house team Penn Corps\/National Health Care.
All ISC teams are comprised of the best fast pitch players from North America and from around the world. Annually up to forty-eight
teams meet in a double-elimination type tournament in host cities in the US and Canada. PC\/NHC made some noise in the 1986
tournament finishing in third place. Two seasons later they would begin a ISC record six consecutive appearances in the
championship game; winning the title four times.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Brian Leitza<\/b>\u00a0would join the Musketeers for three seasons. Arriving\u00a0 last season, the rookie would work a heavy rotation
in goal and would finish that first season with twenty-six games under his belt. Returning this season as a veteran between
the pipes, Brian would grab the starter position playing forty-two games where he recorded fifteen wins, nineteen losses
and a tie game. In November, he would be chosen as the USHL\/Let’s Play Hockey Player of the Week. His overall
save percentage of 0.89 is among the three best goaltenders in the league. The following season, Brian would team up
with John Grahame and together they would form arguably one of the best goaltender duos in Musketeer history.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Kirk Daubenspeck<\/b>\u00a0logged this single season as a Musketeer where he garnered nine USHL starts. The Philadelphia
Flyers draft pick and University of Wisconsin recruit saw limited time in the Musketeer net and after a dozen games was
traded to Wisconsin where he played the remainder of the season for the Capitols. In February, Kirk would be selected
as the USHL\/Let’s Play Hockey Player of the Week.\u00a0 He would go on to play for the Badgers four seasons and after his
collegian days, he would fill a solid professional career of ten years playing in the American, International and East
Coast Hockey Leagues.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Brian Kreft\u00a0<\/b>played a pair of seasons in Sioux City. A trade from Waterloo brought him to Sioux City last season where he
worked a limited rotation with the starter, but still saw time in eleven USHL games. This season he again worked a relief
rotation and logged nine games. A late season trade also sent him to the Wisconsin Capitols for the remainder of the season.
After three seasons playing at the University of Wisconsin\/Eau Claire he would go on to play professionally in the UHL.
\u00a0In 2004 Brian would retune to the USHL taking on the goalie coaching duties for the Waterloo Black Hawks.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Balcony view of the Audi and ice surface<\/span>
<\/b><\/span>
Many people are unfamiliar with the playing surface in the Audi and it’s many intricacies. First, the ice was the smallest in the league and
measured only 175′\u00a0 x 70′. The player benches faced each other and the penalty boxes were still located in the common exits. Two line passes were
\u00a0so fast-ya called your own!!! The black area was the stage and is now the Long Lines Climbing wall. Located on both sides of the stage are the
rooms that contained the many instruments of the mighty Wurlitzer organ. Lastly, that’s everyone favorite Zamboni driver, Dino, doing the ice.<\/span><\/p>\r\n


USHL Play-Offs
<\/b><\/span>As this seasons post-season begins, it finds the eighth place Musketeers matching-up with the regular season champions and interstate
rivals the Omaha Lancers. With the underdog Musketeers evening the series after two games, the Omaha guns were blazin’ and in
games three and four and twice the Lancers hung eight goals on the Musketeers, taking the series three games to one. The Lancers
would go on to defeat Dubuque in the Clark Cup finals.

\u00a0Game one opened like many thought with the dominate Lacers winning in offensive fashion scoring five goals to the Musketeers
\u00a0lone red-lighter. However, The Musketeers would battle back in game two, and in an offensive outburst the Musketeers would
score six times, twice as many as Omaha could muster, tieing the series.
The eventual Clark Cup Champions wasted no time quickly dispatching the Musketeers in the remaining two games of the series.
Game three and four saw the Lancers score eight goals each night, while Sioux City’s offence was dormant in game three and
too little-too late in the final game four.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Brain Leitza\u00a0<\/b>would spend three seasons as a Musketeer. This season he will be remembers as half of one of the\u00a0<\/b>best goaltending duos in
Musketeer history. He would finish the regular season with a 18-10-1 record, his 0.90 save percentage is second best in the league and
his 3.28 goals against average placing him among the\u00a0top five goalies in the USHL. Twice this season he would receive the USHL\/Let’s
Play Hockey Player of the Week Award. Brian will earn a spot in the USHL Second All-Star Team. He would carry most of the
mail this season as the Musketeers made legitimate runs at the Clark Cup and a Jr. A National Championships.

John Grahame<\/b>\u00a0would be the other half of a goaltender duo long remembered. Playing just a single season in Sioux City he provided
consistent relief and solid play that would take the Musketeers deep into League and National Championship runs. While he posted a
9-10 record, his 0.90 save percentage is second highest in the league and his 3.80 goals against average was fine enough to rank him
\u00a0among the top ten USHL goalies that season. John would go on to play nine seasons in the NHL and in 2004 win a Stanley Cup

\u00a0Musketeers vs. Dubuque Fighting Saints
<\/b><\/span>Round 1 \/ Quarter Finals
The Musketeers and the Dubuque Fighting Saints will match-up in the first round of the Clark Cup post season. Both teams
finish the season with sixty-one points; Dubuque did manage a pair of additional wins during the season but a tie-breaker
gave the Musketeers the fourth seed.
The first round this season is a seven game series and based on the evenness of the two teams it could go the distance. The teams
trade victories the first four games with the Musketeers winning games one 5-2 and game three 5-3. Dubuque would rebound
both times scoring winning 4-3 and 6-3.
Game five is a battle and goes down to the wire with the Musketeers prevailing in this 6-5 victory. Game six looks to be more
of the same, but the Musketeers are still\u00a0 fired up from the previous games and the Saints look to be out of gas. The Musketeers
score four goals and Dubuque able to record just one red-lighter.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Musketeers vs. Omaha Lancers
<\/b><\/span>Round 2 \/ Semi Finals<\/span>
<\/b><\/span>The Musketeers are almost guaranteed a match-up against one of the three best teams in the league and draw Omaha in the
second round. Both teams are fresh off a six-game series win. Game one is action packed; the Musketeers score five goals but
still can’t keep up with the Lancers nine red lighters.
Game two is more of the same, Omaha finds the net six times and the Musketeers begin to struggle and can only record a pair
of goals. Going into game three the Musketeers have lost their\u00a0 momentum and again the Lancers score six times compared to
Sioux City’s three. Omaha wins the best of five series and advances to the finals against the Des Moines Buccaneers.

Marc Grande<\/span>
<\/b>Musketeers 1992-94
<\/b>Mark Grande logged a pair of seasons for the Musketeers. During the prior season, the rookie netted fifteen goals and twenty
assists; finishing his first USHL season as the sixth highest Musketeer scorer.
<\/b><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
Marc’s second season with the Musketeers saw the Team Captain score thirteen goals and twenty-three assists. The\u00a0Team Captain
<\/b>was instrumental in leading the Musketeers to a surprise showing in the Jr. A National Championship title game, one that went right
down to the wire. Shown here, an obviously disappointed Marc Grande is presented the JR. A National Championship Runner-Up
Trophy by USHL Commissioner Dave Tyler.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Dave Tyler<\/b>\u00a0was instrumental in the early success of the very new USHL Jr. League. Joining the USHL in 1972 and becoming the
League President in 1982, he remained in that position for 12 years. He was also an active USA Hockey Member & Officer
and was responsible for the formation of countless USA Hockey Events & promotions and National & International Tournaments.
Each season the USHL honors Dave with the presentation of the\u00a0Dave Tyler Executive of the Year Award<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0
Marc Grande\u00a0<\/b>delivers the second place trophy back to his team mates. While not a National Championship victory, is was a terrific
showing for the fourth place regular season finishers. The National Championship against a favored Detroit Compuware saw everyone
\u00a0on the edge of their seats as the Musketeers pulled within a goal with fifty seconds remaining in regulation. With the net empty for the
sixth attacker, Compuware sealed the victory with an open net goal with just seven seconds remaining.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Jesse Monell<\/b>\u00a0wastes little time getting the Musketeers back on track in the third, scoring his second goal of the night-three
minutes into the period. With little hope of a Huskies comeback; the game turns chippy and officials Derek Sheppard, Ron

8-Musketeers vs. Green Bay Gamblers-7
<\/b><\/span>\u00a0 February 11th \/ Sioux City Auditorium
Meltdown, Comeback and a New Truck
<\/span><\/b>In what would be a rollercoaster ride for the Musketeer players and fans; this Saturday night’s meeting with the Green Bay
Gamblers would have it all.
After giving up the first goal of the game, the Musketeers would respond with four unanswered\u00a0goals from\u00a0Eric Silverman,
Rob Butler, Pat Staerker\u00a0<\/b>&\u00a0Brian Ross<\/b>\u00a0and take a commanding lead into the second period. However, the Gamblers
were not going away. They launch twenty-two shots on goal with six of them finding the back of the net. Fortunately, a
second goal by\u00a0Eric Silverman<\/b>\u00a0and one from\u00a0Jay Panzer<\/b>\u00a0does manage to minimize \u00a0the damage and keep the
game close after two periods.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In what proved to be a much needed Sioux City momentum swing, a lucky fan selected for the “Shoot the Puck<\/b>” contest
\u00a0bagged a brand new Ford Ranger pick-up, when he slid the biscuit in a basket just large enough to satisfy\u00a0a now disappointed
insurance company. The sold-out crown went nuts, and the Musketeers harvested that energy as the final period began.

Bobby Gassoff<\/span>
<\/b>Musketeers 1994-96
<\/span>Bobby Gassoff played a pair of seasons in Sioux City. Both seasons he carried on with his dad’s rough & tumble NHL reputation
and he quickly became a fan favorite. Seeing time in forty games this rookie season, Bobby would grab a goal and four assists but
most notably, he would rack-up 195 penalty minutes his rookie season.<\/span>
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\u00a0The following season, playing again in forty games, he doubled his offence; scoring three goals, six assists and rang-up
\u00a0another192 minutes. This 387 total penalty minutes is seventh highest all-time among Musketeers Heavy Hitters. After
the Musketeers, he would play four seasons at the University of Michigan, where he would play in the championship game
twice\u00a0and win it once in 1988. After an additional season of pro hockey in the ECHL, his country called & he answered.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Did You Know<\/b>…Bobby’s dad was legendary Bob Gassoff of the St Louis Blues. He was a an integral player as the team rebuild
in the early 70’s. Bob Sr. lead the Blues three of\u00a0 four seasons in penalty minutes and was known as one of the NHL’s toughest
players. A fatal car accident ended his NHL career in 1977. His #3 was the first ever number retired by the Blues.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

USHL Play-Offs
<\/b><\/span>Again the musketeers find themselves pairing-up with one of their equals during the regular season; finishing just a pair of points
\u00a0ahead of\u00a0 Thunder Bay during the regular season.<\/span>\u00a0This match-up against the Flyers looks to be a good one and it does not disappoint.
The battle between these two rivals will result in several USHL play-off records including most penalty minutes and most overtime
\u00a0periods in a single series.<\/span>

<\/b><\/span>Musketeers vs. Thunder Bay Flyers<\/span><\/b>
<\/b><\/span>Round 1 \/ Quarter Finals<\/span>
<\/b><\/span>The series opens in Sioux City, but from the get-go it’s all Thunder Bay; the Flyers out-muscle, out play and out score the Musketeers
racking-up six red-lighters while Sioux City can muster just a single goal.

Game two sees a totally different Musketeers team hit the ice, quickly returning the six goal\u00a0 lead and looking to score more, the Flyers
are desperate to some-how alter the direction of this game. With the Musketeers totally in command, several fights erupt ,slowing the game
down, but not changing the outcome of an eventual 6-2 Musketeer victory. The third period of the game is one those in attendance
will not forget with both teams setting several USHL penalty minute play-off records including:<\/span>
Most Penalty Minutes in a single game both teams: 238<\/b>
\u00a0The Flyers receive 20 minors, 2 double minors, 1 major, 6 misconducts and 1 game misconduct.
\u00a0The Musketeers receive 21 minors, 2 double minors, 1 major, 6 misconducts and 1 game misconduct.

Most Penalty Minutes in a single period both teams: 202<\/b>
The Flyers receive 11 minors, 2 double minors, 1 major, 6 misconducts,1 game misconduct and 1 game ejection.
\u00a0The Musketeers receive 21 minors, 2 double minors, 1 major, 5 misconducts and 1 game misconduct.

Most Penalty Minutes in a single period one team: 105<\/b>
The Flyers receive 11 minors, 2 double minors, 1 major, 6 misconducts,1 game misconduct and 1 game ejection.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0Having properly rebounded from the first loss, the Musketeers are now faced with the new prospect of three games in a row in a
very unfriendly building. Game three sees both teams trade goals back and fourth, but as time runs out, its Thunder Bay on top by a
score of 5-4. The following night it is more of the same, this time both teams score six goals apiece as regulation ends. However
it is the Musketeers grabbing the winner in overtime to again even the series at two games each.\u00a0

\u00a0<\/span>
Game five turns out to be another one for the record books. With both goaltenders tightening up their game, this one is a
relatively low scoring affair and by the time the third ends both teams have only scored three times.\u00a0It would take sixth
overtime periods, before Musketeer Craig Boyd secures the Musketeer victory despite the being short-
handed by two men for a full two minutes.\u00a0
<\/b>The series would come back to Sioux City three nights later, where it took extra time again to decide a winner. Despite playing
nearly a double-header two nights ago and a killer bus trip from Thunder Bay, both teams hit the ice flying; recording four goals
each by the time regulation ran out. Going into the third overtime game in a row, its Ryan Guzior who finds the back of the net
to win the best of seven series for the Musketeers.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Musketeers vs. Omaha Lancers
<\/b><\/span>Round 2 \/ Semi Finals<\/span>
<\/b><\/span>Having just played six games and eight overtime periods in the US and Canada the wary Musketeers prepare to take on the
Omaha Lancers. The worn out Musketeers do play the Lancers tough and by the time three periods is finished both teams
\u00a0having scored just two goals. Heading in to overtime, the first one is a draw but in the second isn’t and the Lancers find the
net giving them an opening game victory. The Musketeers return to game two rested and ready to go. They hang seven goals on
the Lancers and even-up the series at one game each.
\u00a0
Game three is another high scoring affair with sixteen total goals: ten for the Lancers and six for the Musketeers. As game four
rolls around both teams start to slow down, this game features only three goals with Omaha scoring the winner and sending the
worn-down Musketeers home for the season. The Lancers would go on to the Clark Cup finals but lose to the
\u00a0Favored Des Moines Buccaneers.

National Tournament Qualifier Game
Musketeers vs. Dubuque Fighting Saints<\/span><\/b>
With the National tournament in need of a third USHL team the Musketeers and Dubuque compete in a three game series with
the winner going to the tournament. On just four days rest the Musketeers can only record a single goals as the Saints win 5-1.
It gets worse in game two as Dubuque records another five red lighters and the Musketeers fail to find the net.

This season offered up more interesting “twists” as the season progressed. Prior to the start of the season, Sioux City had been chosen
the site of the 96 Jr. A National Tournament. However, after finishing the season in 9th place with a 17-28-1 record, they miss the
play-offs completely and a chance to play for a National Championship on home ice. Enter the Fargo-Morehead Bears…
complications lead to the inability to compete in the USHL play-offs and the Musketeers are picked as a replacement
team. (They even receive the Bear’s regular season 3rd seed placement)

Sioux City would beat Waterloo in the first round, but lose in the second round to eventual Clark Cup Champions, the Green Bay
Gamblers. However, their play-off performance earned them a renewed chance to compete in the National Championship Tournament
and an eventual chance to avenge the Gamblers in the Championship final. However, the Musketeers fell short to a very strong Green
Bay team that would claim Jr. Hockey “Triple Crown” Champion status.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

These above events would make for the unachievable chances of a 9th place, regular season team playing for a Jr. A National
Championship.

Between the Pipes<\/b><\/span>
Like last season, several goalies compete for the open positions. Returning veteran\u00a0Dennis Wilkie<\/b>\u00a0and rookie\u00a0Eric Day<\/b>\u00a0assume
the goaltending duties this season. However, Chad Villagomez, Shep Harder & Jim Brunner would all log games during the season
as the team struggled to find the right goaltending combination. A disastrous 17-28-1 record that saw the Musketeers finish in ninth
place miss the play-offs. In an unforeseen turn of events, the Musketeers would qualify for the play-offs grabbing the third seed to
boot.\u00a0 The Musketeers duo would right the ship just in time to help lead the Musketeers into the second round of the Clark Cup
play-offs and into the Championship game at the National Tournament.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Dennis Wilkie<\/span><\/b>
Musketeers1994-96
<\/b>Dennis joins the Musketeers as a rookie last season well into the mid-season. He is one of several goaltenders the
\u00a0Musketeers tried before earning the eventual back-up role. During the regular season he logs time in six games and
wins all three of his starts. He surrenders just nine total goals and finishes with a 3.63 goals against average.
<\/b><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
<\/span>Dennis Wilkie\u00a0<\/span><\/b>returns this season as the veteran goaltender and secures the spot as the starter. He will see time in nineteen
games this season but only records four wins compared to ten losses and a tie. He would log a 4.40 goals against average.
Dennis and his partner would both get a new lease on the seasons as a twist of fate put the regular season ninth place team
into the Clark Cup play-offs where thy finished in third place and the National Championship Tournament finishing as the
tournament’s<\/span>\u00a0Runner-up.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Erik Day
<\/span><\/b>Musketeers 1995-96
Erik’s first USHL season is with the Des Moines Buccaneers, it saw him post a 17-3-1 record. His .902 save percentage was
third best among all goalies that season.
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
<\/span>Erik Day\u00a0<\/b>joins the Musketeers mid-way into the season after playing for the Des Moines Buccaneers the prior two seasons.
Taking part in a goalie merry-go-round that saw several different goalies competing for the back-up position. Erik did rise to
the top and managed to see time in twenty-one Musketeer contests posting nine wins and eleven losses. In December he was
the\u00a0USHL\/Let’s Play Hockey Goalie of the Week. Erik’s .991 save percentage was tops in the league and his 3.17 goals
against average put him among the top six goalies in the league. His save percentage and goals against are both at the
time Musketeer records.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Other goaltenders in town for a carousel ride were\u00a0Jim Brunner, Shep Harder<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Chad Villagomez<\/b>\u00a0who played in eleven
games combining for\u00a0 a record of four wins and seven losses.

Chad Villagomez<\/span>
<\/b>Musketeers 1995-96
Prior to playing in Sioux City this season Chad played a prior season for the St. Paul Vulcans where he saw time in twenty-four
USHL contests and posted a 16-6-1 record. His .885 save percentage and 3.14 goals against average were both fifth best
among league goaltenders.

Veteran goaltender Chad Villagomez also joined the Musketeers mid-season after being traded from the St. Paul Vulcans.
This season he would grab a dozen starts with the Vulcans before joining the Musketeers this season.<\/p>\r\n

duties effective immediately. This left the Musketeer ownership in bind and owner Ted Carlson and Director of Hockey Operations Mary<\/span>
<\/b>Kernaghan in search of a coach. Coach Dave\u00a0<\/span>Hakstol<\/span>\u00a0was secured within the week and took his place behind the Musketeer bench. He brought
some great credentials with him;\u00a0three years at UND and a five seasons in the UHL. While the season had glimmers of hope, the team just
couldn’t get any flow going and finished the season with only nine victories.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

during their most successful era of the mid-1980’s when the Sioux City Auditorium was arguably the toughest USHL building in which
to play. Under their ownership, the Musketeers went from a league doormat to a National Champion, a level they reached with
1986’s record-setting team. Ted and Mary Jo would sell the team in 2000, but not before he made his mark on the USHL and the

\u00a0Drew Kriner collided on a touch icing situation that left A.J. leg severally broken. Although it took years to institute the new icing, junior and
\u00a0minor leagues begin to adopt it in the mid-2000’s, the NHL in a efforts to minimize these collisions instituted it for the start of the 2013 season.

boast over 80 regular season points. A fourth place finish in the south division with sixty-seven points finds the Musketeers
matched-up against division rivals the Lincoln Stars. This will be the first of three post-seasons that the Musketeers
battle the Stars in the opening round.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/b><\/span>Game one is a close battle on the Stars ice but the Musketeers come up short in this 2-1 loss. Returning home, the Musketeers
look to even the series but again fall, as the Stars outscore the 4-2. Back in Lincoln, many a doubter thinks this is it for the
Musketeers. However, a late goal in the third gives them a 3-2 win and new life in the series.

\u00a0Unfortunately, the previous game’s momentum quickly fizzles-out. The Stars hang five goals on the Musketeers and grab
a commanding three-one series lead. Game five is do-or-die for the Musketeers but their three goals\u00a0isn’t enough;

wins and record a league leading save percentage of .921.\u00a0 Giving-up just over two and a half goals a game he was
the sixth hardest to beat\u00a0goaltender in the league. He would\u00a0 earn a spot on the\u00a0USHL All-Star Team<\/b>.\u00a0Following

fourth best in the league and his goals against average of 2.46 put him among the top five of the leagues best goaltenders.

<\/span>
Ruslan Fedotenko<\/b>\u00a0played just a single season as a Musketeer but made it a good one. Leading the way with forty-three goals and
thirty-four assists;\u00a0his seventy-seven points was second highest in the league. He would set several league records this season, including
his thirteen game scoring streak, nine game winners and six shorties.\u00a0 He was no stranger to the physical game and logged 139 minutes
in the penalty box bested only by heavy hitter Chris Olsgard. He would earn spot in the USHL All Star game and a top billing on the
All-USHL Team. After the USHL it was just one season before the NHL called. Ruslan would play some 17 plus seasons in the
NHL and along the way win two Stanley Cup Championships.

David Hale<\/span><\/b>
Musketeers 1998-2000
David Hale<\/b>\u00a0would play a pair of seasons here in Sioux City. Along the way he would become one of the most popular Musketeers. Know for
his heavy hands and huge hits, its no wonder the fans loved him and the opposing players hated him. I once saw him hit a guy so hard, I could feel it
standing 6 feet away. Dave spent his time\u00a0 well protecting his team mates and easily dispatching some of\u00a0 the toughest guys in the league.
<\/span>
During his rookie season, Dave put up typical defensive-defenseman numbers, recording three goals and fifteen assists assists.
His127 penalty minutes was third highest among the top seven players-all with over a hundred minutes in the box.\u00a0 The following
season he would increase his offence by three goals and three assists, but this season there was no question who the penalty
minutes leader was; his 187 minutes was fifty minutes ahead of the second highest Musketeer. After three seasons playing
for the Fighting Sioux, it was on to the NHL where he would log<\/span>\u00a0ten year NHL career playing in New Jersey, Calgary,
\u00a0Phoenix,\u00a0Tampa Bay and Ottawa..<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Rostislav Klesla<\/span><\/b>
Musketeers 1998-99
Rusty would log a single season as a Musketeer. Arriving from the Czech Republic, the seventeen year old defenseman knew
\u00a0almost no English. This duty fell upon host families and players working full time as ESL teachers. During the season, he quickly
established himself as one of the USHL’s best defensemen and by the time the season ended the youngster had established the
fact that he would soon be an NHL blue chipper. Rusty four goals, a dozen assists and recording one hundred minutes in the
box. During the regular season and score a pair of play-off goals in the first round.\u00a0 He would become the Columbus Blue
Jackets first ever draft selection when he is picked\u00a0fourth in the 2000 NHL Draft.
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
After\u00a0 spending time in Sioux City was Rusty’s next stop as he patrolled the blue Line in the OHL for the Brampton Battalion.
As a rookie he played in sixty-seven games and upped his scoring numbers netting sixteen goals and 29 assists. His 174

USHL Play-Offs
<\/b><\/span>For the second season in a row it is the Musketeers taking on the Lincoln Stars in the opening round of the post-season. Having
finished just three wins ahead of the Stars in the west division and the Musketeers would grab the home ice advantage for this
chance for pay-back from last seasons first round loss.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Musketeers vs. Lincoln Stars<\/span><\/b>
Round 1 \/ Quarter Finals
Using the home ice advantage; the Musketeer fans help keep them in this game that sees both teams score four goals each as the
third period ends. It is the Musketeers the find the net first in the overtime period giving them the game one victory. Retuning to
Lincoln, the Stars score four goals again and the Musketeers can’t generate any offence scoring just a single goal tieing the series
at a game each
The series returns to the Auditorium but the Musketeers offensive woes continue, this time producing no offence-the Stars two
goals is more than enough to win game three. Two nights later the Ice Box fans are stunned when the Musketeers return to
two goal blanking they got and even the series at two games apiece.
After a big win in Lincoln and a return to the Auditorium, the Musketeers have both the momentum and the home ice advantage
and look to finally foil the Stars. Again, it is a defensive affair and like game one goes into overtime. This time its the Stars who
find the net giving them a 3-2 game and series win.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Held at the Rochester Rec Center on January 26th, this annual gathering of the league’s best players saw the All-Stars from the
South defeat the North All-Stars by a score of 8-5. Both teams were knotted-up after two period with three goals each, but an

Ruslan Fedotenko and Tyler Palmiscno are all selected to play in the mid-season classic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

1999 NHL Draft

<\/b><\/span>Held at the Fleet Center in Boston, MA. the USHL places ten players in nine total rounds. There are no Musketeers players
\u00a0selected this season.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n



League consists of fourteen Member teams playing a\u00a0fifty-eight<\/b>\u00a0game regular season schedule. Twin Cities move to Tri-City and North Iowa moves
\u00a0to Cedar Rapids. Sioux Falls joins the league. Back are two separate divisions this season.
Eastern Conference:\u00a0<\/b>USA National, Green Bay Gamblers,\u00a0<\/b>Thunder Bay Flyers, Dubuque Fighting Saints,\u00a0<\/b>Rochester Mustangs,
\u00a0Cedar Rapids Rough Riders, Waterloo Black Hawks
Western Conference:<\/b>\u00a0Lincoln Stars, Sioux Falls Stampede, Omaha Lancers,\u00a0<\/b>Des Moines Buccaneers, Twin-Cities Vulcans,
\u00a0Fargo-Moorhead Ice Sharks, Sioux City Musketeers<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The season started out bright as two of Sioux City’s returning veterans, Tyler Palmiscno and David Hale were selected to play on the
USHL Select Four Nations Tournament team.\u00a0 By the time the season ended, Tyler would lead the Musketeers in scoring with 56 (20\/36)
\u00a0points and Dave in penalty minutes with 187.

However, as a team, the season would be a disappointing one for the Musketeers. While technically finishing with a winning record, this
27-26-5 got them a sixth place finish in the western division and a play-off spot. Unfortunately it was again against the League Champion
Lincoln Stars. And as was true the past two play-off meetings, the Stars could not be foiled and while the Musketeers took the series to
the limit, they would fall a goal short again of a series victory over the Stars.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

USHL Playoffs
<\/b><\/span>For the third season in a row…the Musketeers draw the Lincoln Stars as their opening round foe. Musketeer fans are hoping
that the third time is indeed a charm. However, overtaking the regular season Anderson Cup Champions is going to be an uphill battle.
The Stars finish fourteen points ahead of the western division’s eighth and final play-off slot.<\/span>

Musketeers vs. Lincoln Stars<\/span><\/b>
Quarter Finals \/ Round One<\/span>
<\/b><\/span>In what looks to be a lopsided match-up, game one stays very close with both teams able to find the net twice as the third period
ends. However, the offensive focused Stars score in overtime giving them a series lead. Two nights later, still in Lincoln it is more
of the same, both teams can only muster a pair of goals as regulation runs out. Unfortunately its the same results as last game-the
Stars get the over time winner and a two game series lead.
Heading back to Sioux City for a pair of home games, the Musketeers look to stay alive as desperation as a motivator. Again, the
game is close and Lincoln records their traditional three goals, but the Musketeers do one better, giving them a much needed win.
Two nights later, with home ice and the momentum of last game’s victory building, the Musketeers stun the regular season champs
hanging six goals on the Stars wining 6-4 and tieing evening the series two game each.
Game five could go either way, Sioux City has the momentum and the Stars have the home ice. The game delivers on the excitement,
with both teams scoring a pair of goals going into the final period. However, its Lincoln who gets their usual three goals a game,
winning the series and sending the Musketeers home for the third season in a row.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A final season record of 27-22-7 while winning was only enough for last place place in the very tough western division. However, this
season’s play-off format\u00a0still allowed them an eighth seed and another run at the Lincoln Stars. Unfortunately, this series would end like
three previous series, with the Musketeer unable to solve the Stars.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

New Ownership Arrives in Sioux City<\/span><\/b>
After 19 seasons, two Anderson Cups, two Clark Cups, 4 National Championship showings and a National Championship Victory, local
owners\u00a0Ted and Mary Jo Carlson<\/b>\u00a0decide it’s time to sell the team. The Carlson’s were first instrumental in the success of the new Siouxland
Youth\u00a0 Hockey program in the early 70’s. Their support of youth hockey continued to grow, and in 1981 their purchase of the team rescued
the Musketeers from a certain death in the newly formatted USHL. Ted and Mar Jo would build the Musketeers into a powerhouse team
during the early 80’s and form a dynasty that will likely never be equaled in the USHL.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

New Owners Gary Weckworth and Associates purchased the team and added USHL veteran coach Dave Siciliano as Head Coach
\u00a0and General Manager. Dave and his Assistant Coaches, Fred Harbinson and Jack Kowal wasted no time bringing the Clark Cup
back to Sioux City the following season.

<\/span><\/b>Goaltenders\u00a0Brian Panik<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Jake Brandt<\/b>\u00a0would eventually form this year’s last defenders. After some difficulty finding a back-up
for Brian; Casey Beauvais and Bryan Smith both logged some time as back-ups, however, a mid season trade brought Jake Brandt to
Sioux City from Lincoln. Brain & Jake would play out the season splitting starts; both would finish among the top ten USHL goalies.

Brian Panik<\/span><\/b>
Musketeers 2000-01
By the time Brian joined the Musketeers in 2000 he has already logged two plus seasons of junior hockey experience
playing in the\u00a0North American League for the Chicago Freeze and the St. Louis Sting.
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
<\/span><\/b>Brian would join the Musketeers for the start of the season and quickly secure the starting duties. He would garner 30 games
and finish with a 14-10-4 record making him one of the top ten USHL goalies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>Poised to take the starting goalie duties the
next season, Brian was snagged in a\u00a0special draft<\/i>\u00a0by the newly relocated Tulsa Crude. Logging another thirty games in
Tulsa, where the Crude rarely won, he would compile a 8-18-3 record. The following season he would move to
the America West League playing his final\u00a0season for the Wichita Falls Rustlers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Jake Brandt
<\/span><\/b>Musketeers 2000-01
Prior to joining the USHL Jake was a stand-out goaltender for Roseau High School leading his team to the State Tournament
both in 1999 and 2000; winning the tournament in ’99. He was a two-time\u00a0All-Minnesota State Team<\/b>\u00a0selection, a three-time

\u00a0top five Musketeer scorers with 26 (10\/16) points and Art would finish, his first of three seasons, leading the Musketeers in
penalty minutes. Both these guys leadership would be instrumental in next season’s Musketeer Clark Cup Championship.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Another win for the Musketeers
\u00a0\u00a0
<\/b><\/span>The Musketeers celebrate another victory during the regular season game at the Audi. That’s long time USHL official Jonathan
Morrison pictured here. Joining the USHL in 1990, he remains active working the USHL and other professional leagues. He is
also an NCAA official and worked the 2016 Frozen Four Championship game. MoTown, as he is affectionately know, would
become a great mentor over the years and an even better friend.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Did You Know..<\/b>.Jonathan was selected to work the 2006 Turin, Italy, 2010 Vancouver, BC and\u00a0 2014 Sochi, Russia
Paralympics Sledge Hockey Games. He has also worked games in China and Japan. His most recent Olympic showing
was the 2018 Pyeong Chang winter games where he worked the men’s qualifying & and play-off rounds as well as
the bronze medal game pitting Canada against the Czech Republic.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

USHL Play-Offs
<\/b><\/span>For the fourth season in a row, the Musketeers draw the Lincoln Stars and like last season they are again the regular season
Anderson Cup Champions. The Stars would record forty-three wins compared to just thirteen defeats this season. Again, on
paper this series looks to weigh heavily towards the Stars but anything can happen.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Musketeers vs. Lincoln Stars<\/span><\/b>
Quarter Finals \/ Round One<\/span>
<\/b><\/span>This best of five series would see games one and two played in the Ice Box in Lincoln. Unfortunately, the Musketeers
forgot what time the game started and by the time they show-up; it was be too late and the Stars would win the opener 4-0.
Game two was more of the same. While the Musketeers did muster a goal, the Stars were just too much; hanging six goals
on the out-gunned Musketeers.
Game three returns to Sioux City and after a pair of discouraging losses the Musketeers find themselves in an up hill battle.
However, the home ice and friendly fans reinvigorate the Musketeers. They go toe-to-toe with the Stars for three periods and
by the time the third ends both teams are knotted at five goals each. The Musketeers know this is the chance they need to
change the series momentum feverishly looking for the game winner. However, it is the Stars that capitalize first in the extra
period winning the game and sweeping the series.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

2000 Four Nations Tournament<\/span><\/b>
November 6-13, 2000
The fourth year of this tournament is hosted by the German Hockey Federation in Fussen, Germany on. The USHL team
\u00a0would finish third among the four traditional National teams from Switzerland, Germany & Norway. The USHL Selects
\u00a0would open the tournament with a surprise loss to the Norwegian National team by a score of\u00a0 6-2. Game\u00a0two was
more of the same; a 4-1 loss to the Swiss. Game three saw the USHLers skate to a four all tie with the
\u00a0host team from Germany.

On paper, the 2001-02 season looked to be an average season for the Musketeers. However, as the season progressed, everyone
new that a special type of team unity was building.\u00a0 The Musketeers finished third in the very dominate Western Division. They would
place three players among the top ten goal scorers in the league as well as three more among the top ten assist leaders.\u00a0 The
goaltending duo would both finish in the top eight league leading goaltenders.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

They would fight their way through the playoffs and meet up the League’s best team and heavy favorites, Omaha Lancers.

Dave Siciliano<\/b>\u00a0would go on to be one of the USHL’s legendary coaches. One of only four coaches to eclipse the 500 win
milestone. In Thunder Bay for seven seasons; he would win four Anderson Cups, a pair of Clark Cup titles and Coach of the
Year honors three\u00a0 times. In Sioux City for eight seasons; he would capture another Clark Cup in 2002 and come just shy
of repeating this feat 2004.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Fred Harbinson<\/b>\u00a0would join the Musketeers for two seasons, his second resulting in the 20002 Clark Cup\u00a0 championship.
Prior to the\u00a0Musketeers, he played his college hockey in Wisconsin and then stayed on as an assistant for two seasons. After
this stop in Sioux City he would go on to coach at St. Cloud State University for five seasons before taking over the reigns
for the Penticton Vees of the BCHL.

2017 will mark the start Fred’s eleventh season as Head Coach for the Vees. Over the last ten seasons, he has compiled
an overall record of 441-132-37. Along the way winning three BCHL Regular season and five BCHL Division
Championships, four BCHL Fred Page Cups, the Doyle Cup, a Western Canada Championship and a RBC National
Championship. Fred has also been awarded the BCHL’s Coach of the Year Award three times.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Matt Schmidt<\/b>\u00a0would spend four seasons (99-2002) as the Musketeers player trainer and equipment manager. After ten
\u00a0years as the head athletic trainer at Northwestern College (GPAC) he would rejoin the team in 2014 and assume the
same player and equipment duties as well as serve as the team’s travel coordinator. The following season he would
take the head trainer position at the University off Minnesota at Mankato<\/span><\/p>\r\n

regular season winning records as well as among the the top eight goalies in the league.\u00a0Their consistency between the pipes
\u00a0made them a goaltending duo that arguably was one of the finest in USHL history.<\/b><\/span>

eventual USHL Clark Cup showdown against the Omaha Lancers. His stellar play would earn him both a Clark Cup victory and
the USHL Clark Cup series’\u00a0Most Valuable Player<\/b>\u00a0Award. His regular season numbers were terrific boasting 25 wins, 10
losses & a tie along with a 2.50 goals against and a .920 save percentage. His 25 wins that season places him among the top

B.J. Greaves\u00a0<\/b>would arrive in Sioux City with two seasons of junior experience playing foe the Flyers in Thunder Bay. His rookie
\u00a0season saw him play in just three games but notch his first USHL goal that season. The following season he saw a regular schedule
\u00a0where he it the lamp eight times and added six more assists. However, the second year winger was not afraid of the corners and
\u00a0his 179 was second highest on the team that season. A pre-season trade moved him to Sioux City where good things were about
\u00a0to happen. He only missed one game this season; he notched 18 goals, 18 assists and put up a team leading 187 penalty minutes.
\u00a0He would see time in all twelve play-off games; spending 37 minutes in the box…he still found the time to score five goals

Justin Fletcher<\/b>\u00a0played three seasons as a Musketeer. Shown here during his rookie season; he was a consistent defenseman and team
leader, he was a big part of the defensive corps that helped the Musketeers capture The\u00a0Clark Cup Championship<\/b>. His leadership
would transcend the seasons and during his final season, he would be selected\u00a0Team Captain<\/b>\u00a0and earn a spot on the\u00a0USHL All-
Star Team<\/b>. Justin would play four seasons at St Cloud State and then an additional eight professional seasons in the AHL and DEL<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Another rookie this season is\u00a0Matt Fetzer\u00a0<\/b>logged a pair of seasons in Sioux City. Also a part of that same Musketeer defensive
corps, Matt’s solid play and dedication to the team made him a favorite with players and fans as well. His final season concluded
with a\u00a0Clark Cup Championship<\/b>\u00a0in Omaha. He recorded four goals for a dozen points his first season and doubled his play-
making stats finishing the season with twenty points. He would also play a part in three Musketeer play-off goals. He would
go on to play for the University of\u00a0 Massachusetts at Amherst.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

USHL Play-Offs
<\/b><\/span>Four of the league’s top five teams are from the western division this season and Sioux City’s forty-one wins and eighty-six points
is good enough for a third place finish. For the first time in four consecutive season-the Lincoln Stars will not be the Musketeers
opening round foe but instead it will be the Sioux Falls Stampede.<\/span>

Musketeers vs. Sioux Falls Stampede
<\/span><\/b>Quarter Finals \/ Round One<\/span>
<\/b><\/span>Opening the best of five series with the first two games on the road the Musketeers are not effected by either the home ice\/crowd
\u00a0advantage as they quickly silence the latter scoring seven goals to the home teams single red-lighter. Having apparently scored all
their allotted goals for the weekend, the Musketeers can only generate enough offence to score one goal. However, outstanding
goaltending makes that one enough, and the Musketeers blank the Stampede and head back to Sioux City with a two game lead.

Game three sees all the pressure on Sioux Falls and they do indeed play the Musketeers close trading goals for goals in this low
scoring affair. However, It is the Musketeers who grab the game-winner sending them to the next round.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Musketeers vs. Green Bay Gamblers
<\/b><\/span>Semi Finals \/ Round Two<\/span>
<\/b><\/span>The Musketeers prepare to take-on the eastern division champions from Green Bay. Fresh off their sweep of the Buccaneers,
the Gamblers are still flying high from the previous high scoring series; scoring four goals in the game. Sioux City is caught flat
and can muster just a single goals for a home ice steal by the Gamblers. However, the next night the Musketeers rebound
and hand the Gamblers a 4-1 loss of their own tieing the series.

Back in Green Bay for game three, the Musketeers have to again contend with the home ice\/crowd advantage, and just like
\u00a0last time they use the scoreboard to clam the fans down. The high scoring Musketeers grab seven goals and terrific goaltending
holds the Gamblers to just three as the game ends with Sioux City on the cusp of advancing to the finals.

Following the same game plan as the night before, this game four sees the Musketeers pile on six red-lighters. Green Bay tries
to stay close scoring a respectable four goals, but the high scoring Musketeers pull away in the end winning the game
and the series. That same night they learn that their championship foe is none other than the regular season champions and
Clark Cup favorites, the Omaha Lancers.

<\/span>
Musketeers vs. Omaha Lancers
<\/b><\/span>Championship \/ Round 3<\/span>
<\/b><\/span>At the time, this is one of the most heated rivalries in the USHL, but unfortunately,\u00a0<\/b><\/span>his season’s championship match-up leaves
\u00a0most USHL fans asking the same question; will the Lancers win in three or four games.\u00a0 Most are already preparing for a fitting
send-off of the Lancers iconic arena by winning Clark Cup Championship. But not so fast…<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Game one starts and finishes like most thought; the Musketeers are out-shot, out-scored and out-played by the Lancers. The
home crowd is relentless, as are the Lancers, they hang six goals on the visitors and both now know that another championship
is close at hand. Game two is expected to be more of the same; the Lancers come out hard but so do the underdog Musketeers.
The Lancers score three goals, but its the Musketeers who surprise everyone scoring four; evening the series and keeping their
dream alive.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The series returns home to the friendly confines of the Audi, a place where the Musketeers lost just three times this season.
Game three quickly turns in to a defensive battle with both goaltenders holding the opponents to a single goal well into the
third period. However, it is the Musketeers who find the back of the net giving them a needed win and the series lead. On
a side note; stress balls, green tea and scented candle sales sky-rocket in the Omaha area, yoga classes west of\u00a0 72nd &
Farnam St. are standing room only and you can’t find a Fresh Aire cd anywhere.
The following night, its more of the same, two of the leagues best goalies going toe-to-toe. However, this time its the Lancers
getting the extra goal, giving them a face saving 2-1 win and one more chance to close the Historic Ak-Sar-Ben Arena with
a win.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Game five saw a Lancer crowd that was thirsty for a final season win. Filled to the brim, everyone knew tonight was the
night they closed their old barn with, not only a win, but a championship win. Ahead by a pair of goals going into the third
period, the relentless Sioux City Sucks chants were deafening, the huge Lancer flag made its way around the rink every
two minutes and despite the frenzied crowd noise, you could almost hear the Champaign chilling in the locker room.
However, two Sioux City goals in the last seven minutes and another one in overtime stunned the crown and at that
moment you could actually hear the Champaign chillin’. Sioux City defeats the Lancers for their first Clark Cup
Championship in fifteen seasons<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Clark Cup Champions
<\/b><\/span>
The Musketeers win their first post-season championship is sixteen seasons. Finishing in third place in the tough western division, the Musketeers
battled their way though the play-offs and eventually earning a chance to beat the regular season champs and heavily favored Omaha Lancers.
The series would go the five game distance with the Musketeers winning it on the road and in overtime.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

stayed in the hunt in a very strong Western Division, but a few disappointing losses saw then fall five points short of catching
the eventual Anderson Cup and Clark Cup Champions. They finish the season with a 36-18-6 record; third in the west
\u00a0division and fourth overall.

Sioux City Places a pair of players among the top ten USHL scorers;\u00a0Grant Goeckner-Zoeller<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Brandon Polich<\/b>\u00a0both

top and quickly earned the starting duties. He would play 38 games and finish with a 23-9-2 record. Eric and Jimmy started a back-up
rotation. A mid-season trade moved Eric to Tri-City where he had a chance at a starting position. Jimmy assumed the back-up position
but still logged 18 games going 6-6-2 in his rookie season. This duo provided some solid opportunities to win, and had the six ties gone
the other way, the team would have finished first in the division.

Jan Chovan<\/b>\u00a0logged a single season as a Musketeer. He would earn the starter duties; log thirty-eight regular season games played
and finish the season with twenty-three wins; second highest in the league, nine losses including a pair of overtime losses. Jan would
also take the net duties in the first round of the play-offs. however, the Musketeers could only garner one win in the best of three
series against the River City Lancers. He would end the season among the top eight goaltenders in the USHL that season including
a league leading .925 save percentage and a2.75 goals against average.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Three year veteran Art Femenella did what many can not say…he led the Musketeers in penalty minutes all three years. There was never
a close second on this category. He would finish with 197 minutes this season. Second year veterans; B.J. Greaves was a distant second
with 27 minutes and did also manage to log 35 points as well, David Deterding recorded 115, Nathan Schwartzbauer 113 and top five
Musketeers scorer Billy Magnuson also finished fifth in penalty minutes with 109.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Justin Fletcher
<\/b><\/span>Musketeers 2000-03
<\/b>Justin’s first season would see the rookie log a busy thirty-eight game schedule. Adjusting to the pace of the USHL the youngster
didn’t find the net this season but did add five helpers. He was also selected to receive the\u00a0<\/span>Musketeers Most Improved
Player Award<\/span>.

Justin would return to head-up the Musketeers defensive corps as well as help lead the team. He would record three
\u00a0goals and ten assists during the regular season and during the post season add two goals and an assist;\u00a0<\/span>helping Sioux City
win\u00a0it’s first Clark Cup Championship in 16 years.<\/span>
<\/b><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
Returning for a third USHL season in Sioux City, Justin is selected as the Musketeers team captain. He plays a complete schedule
of sixty games and more than triples his scoring: Grabbing a dozen goals and thirty-one assists; his forty-three points is fourth best
among Musketeer scorers. He is selected play in the USHL All-Star game. During the post\u00a0 he would add three more helpers to
his overall stats before the Musketeers are eliminated in the first round.\u00a0 After four seasons at St. Cloud State he would spend
four seasons in the AHL and three more playing in the German Elite League (DEL).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Justin Fletcher<\/span><\/b><\/span>
<\/span><\/b><\/span>\u00a0 Musketeers 2000-03<\/span>\u00a0
Team Captain Justin Fletcher logged three seasons for the Musketeers. A slow start his rookie season was quickly forgotten
as he became force both on and off the ice the following season. He was one of the several team leaders that helped lead Sioux City to
the Clark Cup Championship the prior season.
<\/span>
This third season he would be selected Team Captain and finish among the top Musketeer scorers. Recording a dozen red-lighters and
\u00a0thirty-one assists; his forty-three points is fourth best among Musketeer scorers. He is selected play in the USHL All-Star game. During the
post\u00a0 he would add three more helpers to his overall stats before the Musketeers are eliminated in the first round.\u00a0 After four seasons at
St. Cloud State he would spend four seasons in the AHL and three more playing in the German Elite League (DEL).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Art Femenella
<\/span><\/b>Musketeers 2000-03
Prior to the start of this third season as a Musketeer, Art had set the pace to become one of the Musketeers all-time penalty
minute leaders; recording over 460 penalty minutes thus far. Fiercely competitive and loyal, none of Art’s teammates need ask
for enforcement. Both a player and fan favorite he will always be remembered as one of the League’s top Heavy Hitters and
one of the most popular Musketeer players.
<\/span>
Returning for a third season, this natural team leader was selected again as one of the team’s Alternate Captains. Recording his
traditional goal for the season, Art added six assists and tacked on another 197 penalty minutes; again leading the team for a
third season. Art will always be remembered as one of the top Musketeer and USHL heavy hitters of all time, as well as being
remembered as one of the most popular Musketeers ever.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He always had time for his fans and his overall dedication to the team, made him a favorite among players, coaches and fans.
What he lacked in the goal scoring department, he more than made up for in enthusiasm among his fellow team mates. His 712
total penalty minutes puts him at the top of the Musketeer all-time leaders in penalty minutes, he has him name on the Clark Cup
and was a USHL All-Star player his rookie season. Drafted by The Tampa Bay Lighting in2001, Art played four seasons at
the University of Vermont before a serious hand injury playing in derailed his professional plans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0Did You Know<\/b>…Are Femenella played five seasons in the USHL. Prior to three seasons in Sioux City, he played two
seasons for the USA Hockey Developmental Team and even logged three games on the US Junior National team as
a17 year old.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A Sioux City Tradition and\u00a0 The Musketeer Curse…<\/span><\/p>\r\n

By 2002 the Musketeers has established one of the League’s few New Years Eve Game traditions; missing just four games at
home since the maiden season as a Jr. A league. Thirteen out of twenty times the Musketeers started the new year and second
half of the season, with a victory.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

However, a rare over-time loss to the Topeka Scarecrows on this season’s December 31st game would set in motion another
tradition that no-one wanted anything to do with; for the next nine seasons in a row, the Musketeers would come up short in
their annual game and over the next fifteen seasons, win only two times during the home game NYE classic.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Finally, in 2017 the New Years Eve curse would seemingly be lifted, when in 2017 Musketeer Parker Ford and in 2018 Dominic
Vidoli both scored game-winning goals against the Omaha Lancers giving the Musketeers a pair of consecutive NYE wins and
putting the Musketeers back on the New Years Eve winners track<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Brandon Polich
<\/span><\/b><\/span>Musketeers 2000-03
<\/span>Brandon Polich<\/b>\u00a0would split is rookie USHL season between Lincoln and Sioux City. After twenty games, a goal and eight assists
\u00a0with the Stars, Brandon would become a Musketeer. Playing an additional twenty-six games, he recorded three more goals and a
dozen more assists that first season.<\/span>
<\/span>Returning last season as a second year veteran, he would notch eight goals and twenty-three assists during the regular season. However,
\u00a0he would save his best for the post season where he lead all Musketeers in goals scoring ten red-lighters and five more assists; fifteen
\u00a0points that would help Sioux City defeat the Omaha Lancers and win the Clark Cup Championship.<\/span>
<\/b><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
Returning for a third season, the grizzled veteran is named one of the team Captains. Brandon plays a forty-eight game schedule,
netting seventeen goals and a team leading forty-three assists; his forty-seven points is second highest among Musketeer scorers.<\/span>
Brandon<\/span>\u00a0will also finish among the top ten USHL scorers with sixty points<\/span>\u00a0and lead the league in assists.<\/span>\u00a0His seventy-seven
\u00a0penalty minutes is a just dozen shy of\u00a0Heavy Hitter<\/i>\u00a0status. He will go on to play four seasons at Colorado College
before joining the USA Hockey Officials Development Program.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Musketeers vs. River City Lancers
<\/b><\/span>Round 1 \/ Quarter-Finals
\u00a0The best of five series starts out with a pair of tilts on home ice for the Musketeers. However, its the Lancers that come out swinging;
\u00a0scoring five goals in the opener winning 5-2. Game two is a close one\u00a0and stays tied through regulation on goals by Nathan
Schwartzbauer and Mike Curry, but a Lancers OT winner spoils the Musketeers hopes of evening-up the series.

\u00a0The Musketeers return to Omaha for a must win game-three to keep the series alive. Brandon Polich, Mike Ramirez, Ryan Hawkins
\u00a0and BJ Greaves all score goals in a 4-1 victory and getting back into the series. Unfortunately, another night in Omaha is to much the
\u00a0Musketeers offence and despite\u00a0striking first on a Billy Magnuson tally,\u00a0the Lancers\u00a0answer back four times winning the game
\u00a0and the series 4-1.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Between the Pipes
<\/b><\/span>Returning veteran\u00a0Jimmy Spratt<\/b>\u00a0and Rookie\u00a0Jeff Lantz<\/b>\u00a0carried the goaltending load this season. While Jimmy was first designated
as the starter, but Jeff’s constant play eventually worked him into regular starting rotation. Both goalies complied 19 wins; Jimmy
logged 6 losses and three shut-outs and Jeff with 9 losses and two shut-outs. Both Jimmy and Jeff finished the season as top five
goaltenders and both boasted a nearly identical GAA of 2.33 and 2.36. The also finish the season with the second best home ice
record with twenty-one wins. Like last season, ties hurt the Musketeers, and had they gone the other way,
the Musketeers could have caught the eventual Anderson Cup Champs, the Tri-City Storm.

<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
Jimmy Spratt<\/b>\u00a0was quickly becoming a goaltending force in the league. He was the first part of a solid & reliable goaltending duo that
would lead the Musketeers to a second place regular season finish and a spot among the top six best goalies in the league. While
\u00a0the starter duties were shared for most of the season, Jimmy’s play-off experience was best utilized as the post season began. He
would lead the Musketeers to a three game, quarterfinals sweep of the Lancers but the semi-finals saw the Musketeers lose to
the Tri-City Storm in four games. This would not be the last time that Jimmy would have a chance at the Clark Cup.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

North American and America West leagues. Joining\u00a0 the team as an expected back-up, his play allowed the Musketeers to establish a
starting rotation that could be counted on every night and one that would eventually lead them to a second place regular season finish.
Jeff would finish the regular season with a 19-9 record, record a pair of shut-out victories and finish among the top five goaltenders

Jim<\/b>\u00a0purchased the team in 2002 and would own it for eight seasons. Under his guidance he would usher in a new era of Musketeer
style & grace while still capturing Musketeer tradition. In 2003 Jim transitioned from the Auditorium to the new\u00a0Tyson Event Center<\/b>,
a move that brought junior hockey in Sioux City to the next level.\u00a0 In 2006 he secured Sioux City’s first\u00a0USHL All-Star Game<\/b>\u00a0and
turned it into a two day celebration that USHL players have come to expect no matter where the location. In 2007 he took over for
a very tired-out Buc Bowl pre-season tournament. Renamed the\u00a0USHL Fall Classic<\/b>\u00a0it boasts four days of non-stop USHL hockey
on two sheets of ice. Scouts from every NHL team attend along with hundreds of other professional and college scouts and coaches.

Dave<\/b>\u00a0would coach in Sioux City for 8 seasons, joining the Musketeers in 2000.He would finish his coaching career with the most wins
by a Musketeer coach with 272. Prior to that Dave coached 7 seasons in Thunder Bay (USHL) where he is also the winningest coach.
During his time in the USHL he won 4 Clark Cups (league championship), 3 Anderson Cups (regular season championship) and sits in
second place among USHL coaches for career wins with 810.

Musketeers vs. River City Lancers
<\/b><\/span>Round One \/ Quarter-Finals
For the second season in a row, the Musketeers take on their rivals from Omaha-the River City Lancers. All season long it
was a battle for the western division’s second place slot between the these two teams and the quarter-final series is expected
to be a good one. Troy Brummett records a pair of goals and Tim Kennedy’s third period tally secures a 3-1 series opening
victory for the Musketeers.
Returning home\u00a0two nights later, the fans get another close one as the Lancers challenge in the third, but Domenic Maiani’s game
winner gives the\u00a0Musketeers a 2-0 series lead. Game three is more of the same; Troy Brummett gets the Musketeers going and
Maiani and Kennedy\u00a0tie the game in the third sending it to extra periods.
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
The eventual three overtime periods remain scoreless, but not because of a lack of offence by either team. The Musketeers
launch thirty-five shots on Lancer goaltender Jeff Lerg and the opponents reciprocate with twenty-five of their own on Jimmy
Spratt. However, at 17:56 of the third overtime, with assists from Justin Bostrom and Tim Kennedy, Louis Liotti lights-the-lamp
<\/i>and the Musketeers win the series.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0the Musketeers stay with the Storm for much of the game but lose a close one 3-2 in overtime. Game two catches the Musketeers
\u00a0growing tired and while Mike Curry and Justin Bostrom score goals in the second and keep the game close after two; Tri-City gets
\u00a0two more in the third putting the Musketeers down 2-0. Returning home, the Musketeers get goals from Troy Brummett and a game
\u00a0winner from Domenic Maiani and a 2-1 victory gets the Musketeers back in the series. The following night the Musketeers run

<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\u00a0Blake’s first of three seasons was a good one for the youngster from Alaska. Joining the team at the ripe ol’ age of sixteen, Blake took
to the USHL style of play quickly. He logged forty-five games, recorded eight goals, thirteen assists and his 102 penalty minutes placed
the rookie among the top five Musketeer Heavy Hitters. He would wasted little time recording his first USHL goal on September 25th,
beating the Tri-City net minder six minutes into the third period and on January 8th he scored two goals in a win over the Chicago Steel.

The Musketeers would go deep into the post season where Blake saw time in all twelve games, notching a play-off goal and adding
\u00a0five assists, helping the Musketeers make a serious run for the Cup.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Originally thought too small for the League, Blake proved the critics wrong eventually becoming a Musketeer\u00a0Heavy Hitter<\/i>
that could still help put points on the board. Over the next three seasons fans across the league will find out that he may be small-
but he plays big!!! He was all about the team and came to play every day. Blake would spend the next three seasons becoming
a Musketeer fan favorite.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

USHL Play-Offs
<\/b><\/span>Cedar Rapids and Omaha share the Anderson Cup honors this season each finishing with 89 regular season points. Obviously, post-season
\u00a0favorites in their divisions, the Musketeers and Lincoln Stars have good odds to bid a serious run at the Clark Cup as well.<\/span>

Musketeers vs. Lincoln Stars<\/span><\/b>
Round 1 \/ Quarter Finals
The opening round finds the western divisions’ two best team doing battle for a chance to advance to the next round. Lincoln and Sioux
City finished the season with identical records making for a series that could go either way. Game one opens with a win on visitors ice
for the Musketeers. They scored twice in the first , four times in the second and held off a veiled attempt at a rally by the Stars in the
\u00a0third period.
Game two’s domination by the Musketeers was delayed a period while both goalies stayed perfect, however a pair of goals by
\u00a0Peter Lenes and another by Brian Bales put the Musketeers ahead after two periods and goals in the third by Steven Kampfer and
Blake Martin sealed the deal 5-2. The following night\u00a0 saw the Musketeers collapse on the Stars ice, surrendering nine goals and giving
\u00a0the Stars new life. Back to Sioux City game four was an offensive affair with the teams tied at five after the second period. In the third
\u00a0Kent Bostrom’s game winner and Brian Bales’ insurance goals would give the Musketeers the series win 4 games to one.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Musketeers vs.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Tri-City Storm<\/b><\/span>
Round 2 \/ Semi Finals
The Musketeers elimination of the Stars coupled with surprise upset of the League’s Co-Champions, the Omaha Lancers, by the
\u00a0Tri-City Storm, sets the table for what most think will be a Sioux City\/Cedar Rapids showdown. Game one turns into a romp for
the Musketeers. Five different Musketeers scored six goals and Jimmy Spratt stopped all 31 shots on goal. In game two, both teams
\u00a0exchanged goals each period taking the game to overtime, however, a Tri-City goal evens the series at one apiece.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Returning to Tri-City, Tim Kennedy, Brian Bales, Dennis McCauley and Kent Bostrom get the Musketeers up by three after two
\u00a0periods and the defense limits the Storm to just two shots in the third giving the Musketeer a 2-1 series lead.\u00a0 Brian Bales scores
\u00a0a pair of goals and Travis Turnbull put the icing on the cake wrapping up the series 4 games to one.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Musketeers vs. Cedar Rapids Rough Riders<\/span><\/b>
Round 3 \/ Championship
Cedar Rapids jumps to a series opening win as the Musketeers give-up five goals and can’t solve goaltender Alex Stalock. Game two is a
\u00a0defensive duel; goals by Josh Meyers and Tim Kennedy give the Musketeers a much needed win as they head back to friendly ice.

Back home, the visitors strike twice in the first, but Corey Elkins keeps the Musketeers close after the first, and pair of Tim Kennedy goals in
the second give the Musketeers the lead going into the final period. The ‘Riders get a final period tally and send the game to overtime. The
\u00a0first overtime stays scoreless but just seconds into the seconds overtime Cedar Rapids breaks the deadlock and giving them a 4-3 win and
tieing the series 2-2.

3400 fans pack the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena to see the final winner take all game. With each team winning on the other’s ice, this game
could go either way. Unfortunately, the travel and the season grind catches the Musketeers first and they give-up the first four goals of the
game and Joe Charlebois’ goal in the third is just a token. Cedar Rapids closes the series 3 games to 2 and wins their first
ever Clark <\/span>Cup Championship.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

2005-06 marked a disappointing season. Finishing with a 28-26-8 record, Musketeers would fall just three points short of a Western
Division play-off spot and miss the USHL\u00a0 play-offs for the first time in five seasons.

Sioux City would play host to the 2006 USHL All-Star & Prospects Game. In addition to the game, the two day event included a skills
competition, banquet dinner, local entertainment and a visit from the Stanley Cup.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In 2006, Sioux City native\u00a0John Cowley<\/b>\u00a0would receive the\u00a0USHL Distinguished Service Award<\/b>. The USHL couldn’t operate without
\u00a0the people who do the job behind the scenes, and almost from the beginning, John Cowley has been there. John served for many years as the
official statistician for the USHL. Today Cowley is employed by USA Hockey, serving as its junior hockey registrar. Cowley has the task of
monitoring the protected lists of all junior leagues, in all classifications, in the United States. In addition, he offers administrative support to various
\u00a0teams that represent the United States at international hockey events.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Note:\u00a0<\/b>Sioux City native and SYHA player Beau Erickson (Metros Class of ’04 \/ State Champion ’03) would join the Musketeers for the
05-06 season. The previous season found him splitting between the USHL and NAHL. He would go on to play three season for the
University of Connecticut and then six seasons in the AHL & ECHL<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
Dustin Gazley<\/b>\u00a0would join the Musketeers this season; after two seasons playing for his home state’s Detroit Compuware
U16 and U18 teams. The rookie\u00a0 would crack the\u00a0High Scorer<\/i>\u00a0list this season scoring sixteen goals, nine assists and see time in
forty-seven USHL tilts. Dustin would record his first USHL red lighter on October 1st, when he beat the Tri-City goaltender and
tied the game at four goals a piece with just under two minutes remaining. The future USHL All-Star is expected to return next
\u00a0season bringing his veteran speed, agility and experience to the team<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Kyle Follmer<\/b>\u00a0would find a spot on the Musketeer roster for this season after a successful showing at the mid-summer try-out
camp. Noted mostly for his physical game, he could also find the net and did so on nine occasions. His first two USHL goals
would come on November 4th & 5th; back-to-bank outings against the Chicago Steel. He would also rack-up ninety-six
penalty minutes, third best among the Musketeers Heavy Hitters. He would play out his remaining two USHL seasons playing
for the Lincoln Stars. After playing four seasons at Northern Michigan University he is currently playing in the ECHL.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Steven Kampfer<\/span><\/b>
Musketeers 2004-06
Steven Kampfer logs a pair of seasons for the Musketeers; the rookie scores six goals & thirteen assists in forty-seven games. He collects
\u00a0ninety-one penalty minutes. Steven would play in all twelve play-off games; recording a pair of goals and adding five assists as the
\u00a0Musketeers advanced all the way to the final championship game.
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
This following season Steven would again put up similar numbers recording six goals and nine assists. His eighty-seven penalty minutes
is third best among Sioux City\u00a0Heavy Hitters<\/i>. In 2007 he is drafted by the Anaheim Ducks (NHL) He plays four season for the
\u00a0University of Michigan & in 2010 plays his first NHL game with the Boston Bruins. He is currently playing for the New York Rangers.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Chris Minella<\/span><\/b>
Musketeers2003-06
Returning for his third season as a Musketeer, Chris Minella spent his first two seasons working into the team leadership role he
\u00a0would fulfill this season. Even as a rookie in 2003, Chris played in 53 games, posting seven goals and eleven assists. The following
\u00a0season in 2004 he only missed a pair of games during the sixty game season and recorded another seven goals and fifteen assists.
He would also grab a pair of post-season assists during the Musketeers Clark Cup Championship Runner-up season.
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
This year’s three-season veteran Chris Minella would be selected to lead the team, taking on the role of\u00a0Team Captain<\/b>. Playing a
complete schedule, his offence would increase dramatically; recording a team leading twenty-four goals and adding fourteen
more assists, his 38 points made him one of the Musketeers top three point getters. He would receive the Musketeers\u00a07th<\/b><\/span>\u00a0Man Award.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\r\n

University Notre Dame Fighting Irish<\/span>
<\/b>Letter of Intent Signing
\u00a0Having completed his best season so far, and with three solid USHL seasons behind, Chris would get the attention of Notre Dame
and sign on to play for the Fighting Irish.
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
Chris would see significant playing time right away; playing in twenty-one games as a freshman and twenty-four his sophomore year.
\u00a0His junior season was his best, playing in 38 games, scoring nine goals and seven assists, on his way to helping the Irish win their
second CCHA Championship in three seasons.

After four seasons in South Bend, he’d played in 113 NCAA regular season games, recorded a dozen goals and added twenty-one
assists. After school it was on to the pros, splitting time between the Cincinnati Cyclones and the Wheeling Nailers of the ECHL.
He would stay in Wheeling for three seasons, during that time he also logged eight games playing in the American Hockey League
(AHL) for the Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton Penguins. In 2014 he returned to Cincinnati where he remains on the Cyclones roster.<\/span><\/p>\r\n


<\/span>Ryan Hohl<\/span><\/b>
Musketeers 2005-06
Ryan Hohl<\/b>\u00a0would play three USHL seasons in three different cities. His first two stops were in St. Louis playing for the Heartland
Eagles where he lead the team in penalty minutes with 132 and the following season in Lincoln playing for the Stars where he was a
distant second with 246 minutes in the box. Ryan would also notch his first goal that second season on January 11th when the Stars
\u00a0beat the Sioux Falls Stampede
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
<\/b>When Ryan joined the Musketeers, most though it would be more of the same. However, that wasn’t quite the case. Ryan
\u00a0still lead the team in penalty minutes with 158 and never missed a chance to\u00a0drop the mitts<\/i>\u00a0or deliver a hit that that even
hurt sitting in your seat. He was defiantly one of the toughest guys in the League and had proved it many times…
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
However, he also started to find the net more often and passed to those who also knew where it was. He would record seventeen
goals and add another\u00a0nineteen assists; his thirty-six regular season points was fourth best among Musketeers scorers and his
seventeen goals second highest among those same scorers. His toughness and his ability to justify it with offensive results,
made him a team leader and fan favorite.
\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Phil DeSimone<\/span><\/b>
Musketeers 2004-07
Phil DeSimone would eventually play three seasons for the Musketeers. The prior season, the rookie saw time in forty-four
games recording a pair of goals and seven assists. His first Junior A red lighter would come in a 4-1 win over the Green Bay
Gamblers. Scoring only nine points that first season, many a fan, player and coach would vastly underestimate Phil’s potential.
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
Returning veteran\u00a0Phil DeSimone<\/b>\u00a0would see a huge explosion in scoring success. His fourteen goals, team leading thirty-one
\u00a0 assists and forty-five points secured his first, of two consecutive seasons, as the Musketeers leading scorer. He would be selected
as one of the team’s Alternate Captains. Phil’s explosive second season really sets the table for what will become an outstanding
three-season USHL career. The last season would be loaded with success’s including Musketeer and League honors including
All-Star Team selections, Most Valuable Player and Player of the Year.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Jerry Kuhn<\/span><\/b>
Musketeers 2005-07
<\/span>Last season, the rookie net minder would grab the starting position and survive an onslaught of goalies who wanted his position.
It took almost half a season before the Musketeers could settle on a reliable goaltending duo in Jerry and Beau Erickson..

team late this season\u00a0 he would play in the remaining sixteen games, notching a goal and an assists; his first red-lighter on March 31st

Entering the play-offs the fifth place Musketeers would match-up with second seed Tri-City Storm. The top five western division
teams all finished within eight points of each other so any match-up in the west could go either way. The Musketeers like their

<\/span>Musketeers vs. Tri-City Storm
<\/b><\/span>Game 1 & 2 \/ Tri-City<\/b>
Game one opens on the road for the Musketeers and they jump all over the Storm. Jerry Kuhn stops all 37 shots on goal and
red-lighter. Kevin Lohry, Tommy Olczyk & two from Phil DeSimone give the Musketeers a series lead and an important 4-0 road
win. Max Pacioretty would have assists on both DeSimone goals. Sioux City keeps the pressure on, building a 2-0 lead after two
periods, the offence stalls and the Storm go on to even the series with a 4-3 win.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Game 3 & 4 \/ Sioux City<\/b>
Returning home for game three, Jerry Kuhn stops 37 of 39 shots on goal but Blake Martin’s lone Musketeer marker is not
enough and the Musketeers lose 2-1. Game four sees Sioux City rebound after a home defeat and records goals from Joe
Sova, Andrew Rowe and Dustin Gazley tying the series at two games apiece. Jerry Kuhn has another 35 plus save night,
stopping all but one of 37 shots.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Game 5, 6 & 7 \/ Tri-City, Sioux City, Tri-City<\/b>
With the series ties at two the teams return to Tri-City where the Musketeers offence, picks-up where it left off, last time they
were in town. Max Pacioretty scores twice and Kevin Lohry, Blake Martin, Phil DeSimone & Dustin Gazley record lamp-
lighters in this 6-3 romp taking the series lead back. Hoping to wrap-up the series at home, the visiting team scores twice in
the first and twice in the third to even the series and send the series to a game seven. Having won twice in the Tri-City ice,
the Musketeers like their chances in the final winner take all game; DeSimone and Pacioretty each score goals but its not
enough and the Musketeers fall 3-2.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span>League consists of twelve member teams playing a\u00a0sixty<\/b>\u00a0game regular season schedule.

Eastern Conference:\u00a0<\/b>Cedar Rapids Rough Riders, Chicago Steel, Green Bay Gamblers, Indiana Ice, Ohio Jr. Blue Jackets,
\u00a0Waterloo Black Hawks
\u00a0Western Conference:<\/b>\u00a0 Des Moines Buccaneers, Lincoln Stars, Omaha Lancers, Sioux Falls Stampede, Tri-City Storm,
\u00a0Sioux City Musketeers<\/span>

The Musketeers would finish fourth in the Western Division and in eighth place overall with a 32-25-3 record. Their first round
\u00a0foe would be the eventual Clark Cup\u00a0Champions Omaha Lancers. The best of five series saw Omaha hold the Musketeers
scoreless in a 3-0 victory. The Musketeers would return the previous game’s\u00a0beat-down<\/i>\u00a0with one of\u00a0 their own, a 6-2 win in
game two, game three and four would be decided by just a goal each time with the Musketeers coming a goal shy in both games.

The Musketeer organization would get some unexpected news as the season neared completion, Coach Dave Siciliano would
be stepping down from his duties as Head Coach and General Manager. He would leave behind a 273-174 record in Sioux City as well
as a Clark Cup Championship in 2002.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

At the conclusion of the 07-08 season, past Musketeers coach\u00a0Bob Ferguson<\/b>\u00a0would receive the\u00a0USHL Distinguished Service Award<\/b>.
Bob played in the USHL (77-78) when it was a pro league and would go on to coach in the junior circuit for 18 seasons, fashioning
\u00a0a 517-314-42 record. Behind the bench in Sioux City (1981-90) and Des Moines (1990-95, 2001-05), he would coach more games
than any other USHL coach (873) and set the benchmark for wins by a USHL coach (517). He was a driving force behind the creation
of\u00a0 the USHL’s pre-season tournament, originally known as the Corn Bowl, it was first held in Sioux City in the late 1980’s before moving to
Des Moines and becoming the Buc Bowl in 1990. Today, the\u00a0USHL Fall Classic<\/b>\u00a0as it is known, is one of the most heavily scouted hockey
events in North America.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Also receiving the\u00a0USHL Distinguished Service Award<\/b>\u00a0in 2008 was long-time referee\u00a0Scott Brand<\/b>. While not from Sioux City,
he lot of time here, reffing on USHL ice and sleeping on Swany’s couch. He became a fan favorite across the League and nobody
personified the USHL more than Scott Brand. This season would be his 25th in the USHL eventually serving for twenty-nine seasons.
\u00a0
Starting as an on-ice official in 1984, Scott would become one of the most popular and, eventually becoming one of the League’s
legendary Officials. He would serve as the\u00a0USHL Referee in Chief\u00a0<\/b>on two occasions from 1990-94 and again in 1998-2012 where
he was also the\u00a0USHL’s Director of Hockey Operations,\u00a0<\/b>while serving in this position he would institute the creation of the
USA Hockey Junior Officials Development Program<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Jim Kronschnabel<\/b>\u00a0was the 2008 recipient of the USHL’s\u00a0Dave Tyler Executive of the Year Award<\/b>. The prior season the League
created this new award to honoring Mr. Tyler’ years of leadership and dedication to the USHL and Junior hockey throughout the
United States. Jim was a tireless promoter of\u00a0 not only the Musketeers and the USHL but of Sioux City as well. Owning the team from
2002-2010 Jim brought on changes to the Musketeers that would no doubt extend the excitement and tenure of junior hockey in
Sioux City for another ten years. Events like the USHL Fall Classic, the USHL All-Star Game, the arrival of the Stanley Cup in Sioux
City, on two occasions, acquisition of first class facilities, staff and players as well as a total dedication to the local Musketeer faithful.

\u00a0off where he was the head coach of the Thunder bay Hurricanes but returned to the USHL the following season here he was the
Twins player-coach for the 74-75 season.

In 1986 he would take over the Head Coach and General Manager duties of the Thunder Bay Flyers. After seven season in Thunder
Bay, Dave can boast four Anderson Cup Championships, a pair of Clark Cup & Centennial Cup championships as well as three
USHL Coach of the Year Awards.

In 2000 he would join the Musketeers in hopes of reviving a storied franchise that desperately need a winner. He did the job bring
home his third\u00a0 Clark Cup Championship in just his second season. Even after his retirement in 2008 from the Musketeers he would
stay active as a USHL board member and hockey Operations<\/span>\u00a0advisor.<\/p>\r\n

First Annual USHL Fall Classic<\/strong>
September 27th-29th, 2007 \/ Sioux City, IA
The traditional USHL pre-season tournament held annually in Des Moines gets a\u00a0first-class upgrade,<\/em>\u00a0moving back to its
\u00a0original home after seventeen years in the Capitol City. Musketeers Owner\u00a0Jim Kronschnabel\u00a0<\/strong>transforms the worn-out
tournament into an epic three-day event including a skills competition, player banquet, street parties and participation
of all twelve USHL teams.<\/p>\r\n

Originally started in Sioux City, the pre-season tournament concept was introduced by then Head Coach\u00a0Bob Ferguson<\/strong>\u00a0and
christened the Corn Bowl.\u00a0 In 1990 when Bob moved to Des Moines, the tournament went with him, where the Buc Bowl
became a seventeen year USHL tradition. That would change in 2007 when Kronschnabel and his Staff offer up a pair of
first class playing venues and a list of proposed events that would give a county fait board a run for their money.<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0The Fall Classic continues to improve over the next six seasons, continuing its participation of all the teams, even as the league
swells to sixteen teams. Hundreds of\u00a0 NHL, College, Junior, Semi-pro and European coaches, general managers and scouts,
\u00a0make\u00a0The Classic<\/em>\u00a0most scouted hockey event in the world. For the next six seasons, this would become the USHL’s signature
event and for three days in September, one only needed to visit Sioux City, Iowa to see a gathering of the the best junior
\u00a0hockey players in the world.<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0Chicago Steel, and two more assists and lead the Bucs in Penalty minutes with 115. He would also record a play-off goal and another
twenty-six minutes in the box.

The following season saw a trade move him to the league’s newest team, the Ohio Blue Jackets. He would put up similar numbers
\u00a0in Ohio getting a goal and four assists and a whopping eighty-seven penalty minutes before a mid-season trade made him a
Musketeer. Playing in twenty-four Musketeer games in just thirty-three games. A mid-season trade would move Donnie to Sioux

\u00a0the best in the league<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Donnie’s third season, and first full one with the Musketeers, saw his game change dramatically; his scoring was up and his
penalty minute down. Finding the net eleven times and adding fourteen more helpers-he found himself among the top ten
Musketeer scorers. And while still one of the toughest guys in the league, his time in the box decreased to seventy-five minutes.

minutes second best. He was chosen as one of the Musketeer Captains this season. His gritty style of play made him
a feared competitor and a fan favorite.

his first season with 115 minutes. During his second USHL season Donnie played for two teams and lead both of them in
average penalty minutes per game.\u00a0I bet You Didn’t Know…<\/b>over his final two seasons, he would triple his scoring

Danny Wurden<\/span><\/b>
Musketeers 2006-10
Danny was one of the rare USHL players; logging four seasons, let alone all with the same team. Joining the team late into
the 2006-07\u00a0season, he would play in the team’s remaining sixteen games notching a goals and an assists. His first red-lighter
on March 31st against the Sioux Falls Stampede. Retuning the following season he would put the biscuit in the basket
again and add in eleven assists.

<\/i>\u00a0Shown here in his third season as a Musketeer. Playing just two games shy of a full 60 game schedule and stepping up as one
of the Musketeers leading defensemen, Danny was well on his way to being one of the team leaders. He would record a pair
of Ginos\u00a0<\/i>and ten helpers as he patrolled the blue line with his size & strength. Never shying away from a challenge, he did
play a conservative game, limiting his time in the box and maximizing his time on the ice.<\/span>

Clemmenson. His would be the only red-lighter for the Habs as they lose to the Devils 4-1.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Max would play three seasons splitting time between the Canadians and the Hamilton Bulldogs (AHL); scoring forty-nine
NHL points and forty-seven AHL points. Staring the 2011 season, with the minors in the rear-view mirror, Max starts a six
season run as the Canadians leading scorer recording 362 total points; including 189 goals and 173 assists.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In 2012 he receives the NHL’s Bill Masterson Trophy, two seasons later he scores a League leading eleven game-winners

<\/b><\/span>League consists of fourteen member teams playing a\u00a0sixty<\/b>\u00a0game regular season schedule. Team USA and Youngstown join the league.

Another disappointing season for the Musketeers missing the play-off for a second season in a row. They would make a run for
the final play-off spot but fall just a single point short just behind the Tri-City Storm. Again, over-time losses were a factor and
saw the Musketeers leave nine over-time points on the table by the time the season ended. They would finish the season
\u00a0with a 27-24-9 record.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0Rookies\u00a0Matt Skoff\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0&\u00a0Willie Yanakeff<\/b>\u00a0would start the 2009-10 season as the Musketeer goaltending due. Matt\u00a0 would
secure the starting position and carry much of the scheduled starts. He would play fifty games and earn twenty-one wins and
nine ties. Another rookie, back-up\u00a0Willie Yanakeff<\/b>\u00a0 provided solid skills and relief in net. He would see time in a dozen games;
posting a five & four record before a trade moved him to Waterloo. Another rookie\u00a0Jake Hildebrand<\/b>\u00a0would arrive to finish
out the regular season playing in four games and recording\u00a0 a win, a loss and a tie. The duo would finish the season with
a 27-24-9 record, a single point short of clinching the final play-off spot in the western division.

nineteen with nine\u00a0additional over-time\/shoot-out losses. He would record two shut-outs; his first coming on January 16th
against the Indiana Ice.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Matt would end his maiden season among the League’s top goaltenders; his 2.59 goals against average is sixth best in the
league and his .903 save percentage seventh best among\u00a0 all qualified goaltenders. From Musketeer\u00a0Rookie of the Year
<\/b>to Musketeers\u00a0Most Valuable Player,\u00a0<\/b>his three seasons as a Musketeer would prove most successful. He would go
on to play for Penn State in the newly formed Big-10 Hockey League.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Willie Yanakeff
<\/b><\/span>Musketeers 2009-10
Before joining the Musketeers, the Michigan native spent three seasons playing in the Honeybaked and Victory Honda

four starts during his rookie season finishing with a win, loss and a tie. His second season saw him working a steady rotation
with veteran goaltender Matt Skoff. Jake played 21 games for the Musketeers that season and finished with a 8-9-1 record
and a 2.69 GAA. The following season his reliable numbers and continued solid play resulted in a trade Cedar Rapids
(USHL) where he took over the starting goalie duties for the Roughriders.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

to the Musketeer organization and the Sioux City community.<\/span>
<\/b><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
Over his four seasons in Sioux City, Tommy would notch twenty-five goals and thirty-five assists and while his point total was
average, it was his dedication to his team and to his team mates that was his most valuable asset. While he was an Alternate

\u00a0\u00a0
Brett Larson shown here at the May 23rd, 2011 Press Conference.\u00a0Prior to joining the Musketeers organization, he served as
assistant coach for three years at his alma mater, the University of Minnesota Duluth, where he helped the Bulldogs to their first ever
NCAA men’s ice hockey championship in 2011. In his tenure (2008-11), UMD compiled a 70-40-15 record and also captured the
2008 Western Collegiate Hockey Association Final Five championship.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Before embarking on his coaching career, Larson, who was selected by Detroit in the 1990 National Hockey League Entry Draft, played
professionally for 12 years in various domestic and international leagues. As a four-year (1991-95) blueliner for Minnesota Duluth, he
recorded 67 points in 133 games and captained the team his senior season.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

2011 Musketeers Summer and Try-Out Camp
<\/b><\/span>Held each June in Sioux City, the Musketeers Summer & Try-Out Camp has always been mid-way point for fans and players that a new
season was just a few short months away. This five day camp collimates with an All-Star Game featuring the most exciting players at camp.
It is regularly attended by Musketeers fans looking for their hockey fix even though summer is just arriving. In 2011 Billy Danderand was
honored by the naming of the cup with his name presented to the winning team.

Between the Pipes
<\/b><\/span>While third year veteran\u00a0Matt Skoff\u00a0<\/b>returned to the Musketeers, an off-season trade moved Jake Hildebrand to Cedar Rapids
\u00a0where he had a chance at the starting position. Rookie\u00a0Austin Priebe<\/b>\u00a0would arrive and take over the back-up duties. Matt would finish
the season as one of the top six USHL goaltenders and with a winning record, but the team would finish just a single game under .500.
However, the goaltending duo still secured a first round play-off spot, a meeting with the Fargo Force.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Matt Skoff
<\/span><\/b>Musketeers 2009-12
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/span>
Third year Musketeer veteran\u00a0Matt Skoff<\/b>\u00a0was the obvious choice for starting goalie duties this season. And, like the previous two
seasons he logged a full schedule playing 49 games and posting another winning record going 25-22-1.\u00a0 He would receive the
Musketeers\u00a0Most Valuable Player<\/b>\u00a0Award and finish with a 2.72 GAA, the 6th best in the USHL.
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
Matt will probably be remembered as one of the Musketeers’ most popular goalies. Playing three seasons in one location,
recording 148 games, all with winning records, and getting your team to the post season twice in a row, makes you a fan favorite
very quickly. He would go on to play four season in the newly NCAA\u00a0 Big-10 division playing for Penn State. Matt is currently
playing for the Reading Royals in the East Coast League.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Austin Priebe
<\/b><\/span>Musketeers 2011-12<\/span>
\u00a0\u00a0
<\/b>Rookie\u00a0Austin Priebe<\/b>\u00a0played a single season as a Musketeer. He assumed back-up duties to a three seasoned veteran, but
still earned eleven starts and time in eighteen games. He finished the season with\u00a0 four wins and eight losses. The following
\u00a0two seasons he would play in the NAHL for the Janesville Jets and the Brookings Blizzard.

<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
After splitting his final year of Junior hockey between The Brookings Blizzard and the Wenatchee Wild of the North American
League he would join the US Air Force Academy where he is currently playing in net for the Fightin’ Falcons.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The 2012-13 season was again another disappointing season. After performing well at the Fall Classic, the Musketeers started out the
first few games strong, but soon had a hard time finding the win column ending the season with a 23-30-11 record and missing the play-offs.
The Musketeers lost 25 games by only one goal and lead the League with 11 Overtime losses.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Did You Know<\/b>…Mark Abalan played for the Musketeers during the 1994-95 season<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Between the Pipes<\/b><\/span>
First year Musketeers\u00a0Kyle Hayton\u00a0<\/b>and\u00a0Joey Ballmer<\/b>\u00a0would start as this season’s goaltending duo. Kyle would earn the starting
position\u00a0and Joe would provide the relief as the season progressed. However, as the Musketeers struggled for wins, Joe was traded
to the Jamestown Ironmen of the NAHL. Second year veteran\u00a0Connor Girard<\/b>\u00a0would arrive from a Dubuque where he would challenge
for the starting position.\u00a0While the team’s goaltenders were solid, 25 one-goal losses & 11 Overtime losses meant that the Musketeers
were in every game this season.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Kyle Hayton
<\/span><\/b>Musketeers 2012-14
Prior to joining the Musketeers and the USHL,\u00a0 the Colorado native spent three seasons playing at Shattuck St. Mary’s; playing in
some ninety-one games he would average a phenomenal\u00a0 1.85 goals against average and a .924 save percentage.<\/span>
<\/span><\/b>\u00a0\u00a0
Kyle joined the Musketeers this season as a rookie to the USHL and quickly gained the starting position. He would go 13-8-4 and
finished the season with a impressive 2.65 goals against average and a .911 save percentage placing him among the top five qualified
goalies in the USHL in both categories. The following season he would lead the Musketeers back to post season play and a second
round showing the Clark Cup western division championship.

Connor Girard
<\/span><\/b>Musketeers 2012-2014<\/span>
\u00a0\u00a0
A late-season trade would bring second year USHL goalie Connor Girard to Sioux City from Dubuque.\u00a0He would assume the
back-up duties and challenge for the starting spot. Arriving late in the season, he still played 12 games, but finished with a
disappointing\u00a0 4-7-1 record. However, his 2.49 GAA was the second best (Tie) in the USHL.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Joey Ballmer
<\/span><\/b>Musketeers 2012-13<\/span>
<\/b><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
After two seasons in the North American Hockey League (NAHL), Joey would secure a heavy rotation with starting goalie Kyle
Hayton. He did grab 26 starts in net, but finished with a disappointing record of 5-15 and had 6 overtime losses that could
have really helped his overall numbers. However, he did finish the season with a solid 2.88 goals against average placing
him among the League’s top ten best averages.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Youngster\u00a0Joe Snively<\/b>\u00a0would join the Musketeers in 2012 with his new drivers license and a will to compete with the older
guys. As a rookie he would still record 48 USHL games and post nine goals and seven assists; his first USHL goal as a
Musketeers came on January 5th, in a 5-4 loss to the Sioux Falls Stampede. His\u00a0 play over the season earned\u00a0him the team’s
Most Improved Player\u00a0<\/b>Award. The following season his scoring would nearly triple as he recorded 14 goals and 31 assists
for 45 points and his last season finish as one of the team top two scorers with 27 goals and37 assists. He would have several
\u00a0multi-goal games over his three seasons and scored his first hatrick on January 11th in a 7-3 win over the Chicago Steel.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Cedric Lacroix\u00a0<\/b>logged a pair of seasons as a Musketeer and is shown here during his rookie season. He lead by example
when it came to physical play. Always ready to set the pace with the first big hit of the game or defend one of his team mates,
he would lead the team in penalty \u00a0minutes this season with 155 and the following season with 141. As a rookie his did find
the net six times; scoring his first goal in a 6-2 win over the Stars and later on his first multi-goal game a 7-2 victory over the

Ryan Mantha<\/b>\u00a0arrived in Sioux City as a highly anticipated USHL star and as a suspected high ranking NHL draft selection.
The huge defenseman played a busy rookie schedule, seeing time in fifty-two games. He grabbed his first goal on March 30th,
in a win over the\u00a0Omaha Lancers goal and added seven assists during this rookie season.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He would return next season where the veteran defenseman saw time in twenty-nine games, adding a goal and five assists, before a
mid-season trade moved him to Indiana where he finished the season playing for the Ice. There he added a pair of goals and seven
helpers during the regular season and three more assists during the post season. That spring he would be selected in the fourth
\u00a0round of the NHL draft by the New York Rangers.\u00a0 After playing three season in the OHL for the Niagara Ice Dogs he is
currently playing his third season in the AHL with the Bakersfield Condors.
<\/span>
Michael Holland<\/b>\u00a0logged two seasons in Sioux City. Drawing twenty-six games his rookie season and while he only posted
just a handful of points, he did collect fifty-two penalty minutes and provided some big defense at the blue line. This second
season he\u00a0 has similar numbers with five points and forty-six penalty minutes before a mid-season trade moved him to
\u00a0Chicago (USHL). He played four seasons for the R.I.T. Tigers (NCAA) and is currently playing in the SPHL.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
\u00a0This season Connor takes on\u00a0 a much bigger role for the Musketeers, and while he only posted three goals and ten
points, he\u00a0played consistently in forty-eight games and finished fifth among Musketeer Heavy Hitter with seventy-five
penalty minutes. He would also be selected to play in the\u00a0USHL All-Star & Prospect Game<\/b>\u00a0where he scored
the game wining goal in a 2-1 win for the Western Division. He played three seasons for the Kingston

help score eight Musketeer goals. He would be the sole Musketeer selected to play in the USHL All-Star\/Prospects game.<\/span>
\u00a0\u00a0
Cliff’s second season saw him continue on with his Ironman tendencies, again, missing only two games during the extended 64 game

would eventually put in two full seasons as a Musketeer and land among the Musketeer’s\u00a0High Scorers<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Heavy Hitters<\/i>\u00a0list
both seasons. He would return for a third season, logging an abbreviated schedule scoring a pair of goals and four assists.

<\/span><\/b><\/span>Musketeers 2012-13<\/span>
<\/b><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
Jake was a Musketeer for just a single season, but he would leave his mark in Sioux City!!!\u00a0 He lead the team in scoring with
seventy-three points; twenty-nine goals and forty-four assists. He received both the Musketeer\u00a0Most Valuable Player<\/b>\u00a0and
Rookie of the Year\u00a0<\/b>Awards. In\u00a0 addition he would earn a spot on the\u00a0USHL All-Star Team\u00a0<\/b>and be selected as the
USHL’s<\/b>\u00a0Rookie of the Year.\u00a0<\/b>He would go on to play at UNO (NCAA) and in the 2013 NHL draft was selected
by the Pittsburgh Penguins.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Did You Know…<\/b>with the naming of Jake Guentzel as the USHL Rookie of the Year, Sioux City became the first team in the USHL
to have three players claim this Award; Max Pacioretty (06-07) and Tyler Palmiscno (98-99) are the other two Musketeers.

But Wait-there’s more…<\/b>after three seasons playing for the UNO Mavericks and another season playing for the WBS Penguins,
Jake would make his NHL debut on November 21st , 2016 playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins. He would find the net twice that
first period; scoring just a minute into the game on his very first shot as an NHLer, he would add his second goal 13 minutes later.
His goal at 1:02 of the first period is now a Penguins record beating the old record by a minute and seventeen seconds. His two
goals were not enough though to beat the New York Rangers and the Pens fell 5-2.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But Wait-there’s still more…<\/b>See more of Jake’s NHL success during the 2016-17 NHL Regular season and Stanley Cup victory.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Musketeer’s penalty minutes leader. Add in his 25 penalty minutes during the play-offs, and left his mark with 321
total minutes during his stay in Sioux City.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

him score nine goals and a pair of assists including his first multi-goal game; a 4-2 win over the Roughriders.\u00a0 He
would play his final USHL season in Lincoln where he would record 16 goals and 24 assists. He would go

playing for the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders, the rookie forward lead the team in penalty minutes and recorded four goals and
four assists. The following season an injury cut his playing time in half but he still scored four goals & seven assists and was

Billy Danderand Musketeers 1972-2011
<\/span><\/b><\/span>May 29th, 19<\/span><\/span>41 – September 26th, 2013<\/span><\/span><\/span>
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
<\/span>Prior to the start of the season, the Musketeers lose a great friend, Billy Danderand.<\/span>\u00a0A native of Jefferson, SD, he joined
the team during its first season in 1972 and never looked back!!! He would put in 40 seasons\u00a0<\/span>serving as the
team’s equipment manager.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Between the Pipes<\/span><\/b>
Starting his third USHL season,\u00a0Connor Girard\u00a0<\/b>would return to the Musketeers alongside second year Musketeer\u00a0Kyle Hayton.<\/b>
They would form up this seasons well experienced goaltending duo.\u00a0 Fresh off a previous season that was loaded with one goal losses,
this tandem looks to avenge the nearly 35 points left on the table last season.
With stellar play from Kyle, a mid-season trade moved Connor to the Brookings Blizzard of the NAHL.\u00a0Collin Olson<\/b>\u00a0would join the
team in late December where both goaltenders would work a regular rotation.\u00a0
By season’s end, the duo of\u00a0Hayton<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Olson<\/b>\u00a0would lead the Musketeers to a third place finish in the western division as well as a long
overdue return to serious post season play, with a showing in the western division championship series. Both goaltenders boasted winning
records and\u00a0 finish among the top ten goalies in the league; Collin with a 2.29 GAA and Kyle with a 2.70 GAA.

Kyle Hayton
<\/span><\/b>Musketeers 2012-14
Kyle joined the Musketeers last season as a rookie to the USHL and quickly gained the starting position. He would
go 13-8-4 and finished the season with a 2.65 goals against average and a .911 save percentage; placing him among
the top five goaltenders in the league\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
<\/b>Beginning his second season as a Musketeer,\u00a0Kyle Hayton\u00a0<\/b>quickly took over the starting duties and never looked back.
\u00a0With sixteen wins, he leads the 19-9 Musketeers into the winter break and would finishes the season with a 24-14-2
record. He would log a pair of shut-outs and finish the regular season as one of the top ten goalies in the league with
\u00a0a 2.70 goals against average. He would also be selected to the Western Conference USHL All-Star Team.<\/span>

Collin Olson
<\/b><\/span>Musketeers 2013-15
Prior to joining the Musketeers in 2013, Collin was already well educated in the speed of the USHL and even that of the
NCAA. Having played previous seasons for the U17 & U18 USA Hockey Development Teams.

During the 2011World Junior Tournament, Collin would hog up all the goalie awards including the tournaments leading
Goals Against Average, Save Percentage as well as the Tournament’s Most Valuable Player Award.

The 2012-13 season the college the\u00a0freshman would log nine games playing for the Ohio State University. The following
\u00a0season, after a slow start for the Buckeyes, Collin would rejoin Team USA before finding a home in Sioux City.
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
<\/b>Joining the Musketeers late in December,\u00a0Collin Olson<\/b>\u00a0he would use his experience to challenge for the starting position.
He surrenders only four goals in his first three winning starts with the Musketeers, including his\u00a0first Musketeer shut-out
in a January 3rd blanking of the Muskegon Lumberjacks. He would play in twenty Musketeer games going 12-3-1
during the regular season helping the Musketeers to a third place western division finish. Collin would end the season
among the league’s top goaltenders; recording the second highest save percentage of .921 and the fourth best goals
\u00a0against average of 2.29.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Connor Girard<\/span>
<\/b>Musketeers 2012-14
Connor would play a total of three USHL seasons; starting the 2011 season in the North American League he would
\u00a0join the Dubuque Fighting Saints mid-campaign, posting a rookie season 5-1-1 record. The following season saw
him challenge for the starting position in Dubuque; seeing time in twenty-one games recording fourteen wins, three
\u00a0losses and a pair of shoot-out losses. However, another mid-season trade made him a Musketeer, where he
finished the season playing a dozen games; posting four wins, eight losses including a single overtime.
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
The returning veteran would start this new season competing for the starting spot between the pipes. He began the
season going\u00a02-2 and earned his first shut-out of the season on October 18th against the Fargo Force. However, his
partner started out\u00a0the season with terrific numbers, and it was tough to get the time in net that a third year player
wants. He was traded to the Brookings Blizzard (NAHL) where he could assume the starting duties.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span>League consists of seventeen member teams playing a\u00a0sixty<\/b>\u00a0game regular season games. Indiana leaves the league.
Bloomington and Madison join the league.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Sioux Falls Stampede,\u00a0<\/b>Tri-City Storm, Sioux City Musketeers<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Musketeers finish the season with a 38-17-5 record and remained in first place for most of the season. They were almost
unbeatable at home with a 23-5-2. Despite a challenge for first place in the west on the final day of the season from Tri-City, the
Musketeers would score five unanswered goals in the third period in Sioux Falls to clinch their first Western
Conference Championship.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

For the second year in a row the Musketeers would have three players, Adam Johnson, Joe Snively & Robert Carpenter,
among the league’s top ten scorers\u00a0as well as the league’s leading defenseman Neil Pionk.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Musketeers would draw the fourth seed (and eventual Clark Cup Champions) Sioux Falls Stampede in the first round
of the Clark Cup play-offs. The five game series would go the length, but the Musketeers just couldn’t find the net and
generate the offence to stop the choking defensive play of the Stampede. (Ironically, both Conference Champions
would be eliminated in the\u00a0first round of the play-offs this season.)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Musketeers represent the USHL and the United States in the 3rd annual Junior Club World Cup hockey tournament
held in Ufa, Russia August 22-30th. As well as the United Stars and Russia, Canada, Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic,
Belarus, Austria and Latvia will be represented. An overtime victory against Belarus gives the Musketeer a Bronze
medal finish as they go 5-2 for the tournament.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Colin, with tons of experience assumes the starting position and back-up goaltender Cam prepares to gain from his experience and
expertise. Colin and Cam start the regular season with international experience having placed third in the Junior World Cup
Tournament. Both goalies record goals against averages and save percentages that place them among the top goaltenders
in the league this season. By the time the post-season wraps-up, one that\u00a0started six months earlier in Russia, this duo would
bring Sioux City another Western Conference Championship.

Returning Musketeers Ryan Zuhlsdorf is named team Captain and Jacob Wilson and Jake Durflinger are named Alternate Captains for next
seasons campaign. In addition to their usual mid-summer camp held at the IBP Ice Center they hold a week long final try-out camp
and team orientation in Villars, Switzerland on August 3rd-10th, 2015. This is just a small example of the opportunities that the USHL can
\u00a0make possible to its participating players.

The Musketeers start the season looking good on paper with several returning players as well as a veteran goaltender they start the season
looking like a very solid team that will have a chance at an eventual Clark Cup run. They hold their own through the first half of the season
going just under .500.\u00a0 They place a veteran and rookie scorer among the leagues top players as well as five players on the USHL All Star
roster;\u00a0 C.J. Dodero, Jackson Keane, Matt Steeves, Michael Boyle and Jake Ryczek

However, the return to the ice after the Christmas break is disastrous for the Musketeers. The team gives up a league leading amount
of goals and the offence falters; they unable to generate enough goals to win the close games. They finish the season with a 20-39-1 record.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

compile a disappointing 16-35 regular season record. Many of those games were low scoring affairs and on occasion the Musketeers
couldn’t\u00a0 get enough offence going to win those close ones. Leading the league in minutes played with 3040 he did\u00a0 record a pair of shut-
out victories as well as two shoot-out wins. The following season he will be playing for the Harvard University Crimson (NCAA)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Musketeers ready for the new season hosting try-out camps in both Sioux City and St. Louis. They will start the season with several
returning veterans including the highly scouted\u00a0Eeli Tolvanen<\/b>; widely expected to go in the early first round of the 2017 NHL draft.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The 16-17 regular season is a success; winning 40 games, collecting 87 points (60 game schedule), finishing with a 40-13-5-2 record
and bringing home the Anderson Cup for the first time in 30 seasons. High scorers Eeli Tolvanen, Odeen Tufto, Kristian Pospisil &
Charlie Kelleher provide the nightly scoring punch. On nights the scoring slows, the defensive corps of\u00a0 Matt Hellickson, Jacob Wilson,
Brady Ferner, and Carson Vance limited the opponent’s shots on goals and USHL Most Valuable Player and USHL Goalie of the
Year Matiss Kivlenieks stops the remaining .923 percent of those shots.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Musketeers entered the Clark Cup finals as favorites, but face a pair of teams both capable of beating the League Champs. After
dispatching\u00a0the Des Moines Buccaneers in three games, it was on to the second round taking on the Waterloo Blackhawks. The series
would go the distance with teams trading road wins. The final game saw the Musketeers overpower the Hawks in the decisive game five.
The final match-up came against the best in the eastern division, the Chicago Steel. Again the teams traded road wins and it was back for
\u00a0a winner take all in Sioux City. Game five\u00a0was a goaltenders battle with each team finding the net only once. The Musketeers dominated the
Steel for much of the game and most of the overtime period, however, half way through the period, an errant shot\u00a0slipped by Kivlenieks
for a Steel victory.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Manager\u00a0Mark LaRose<\/b>\u00a0will take his position as Assistant on an interim basis.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

World\u00a0Junior A Challenge Tournament Challenge Tournament.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Between the Pipes<\/span><\/b>
The Musketeers this season will be pressed to start the season with two rookie goaltenders.\u00a0Matiss Kivlenieks\u00a0<\/b>will join the
team with a prior season of junior experience playing in the North America League. A native of Latvia he would play two
seasons in the\u00a0 Minnesota junior league before spending the prior season playing for Coulee Region.\u00a0Ryan Ferland<\/b>\u00a0will arrive
with\u00a0three seasons of Massachusetts high school hockey under his belt and a promise to play at Princeton University following his
time in the USHL. Youngster\u00a0Todd Scott\u00a0<\/b>joins the team as part of a long-term goaltending plan for the Musketeers over the
\u00a0next few seasons.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Matiss Kivlenieks<\/span>
<\/b>Musketeers 2016-17
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
In just his first and last USHL season\u00a0Matiss Kivlenieks<\/b>\u00a0would make his mark on the Musketeer organization. Carrying the mail
for most of the season he would lead the Musketeers to their first Anderson Cup (League Championship) in 31 seasons. Matiss
would add his name to the Musketeer and USHL record book; breaking Sioux City goalie records for: Wins in a season (36),
shut outs in a season (5), lowest goals against average (1.85) and a League leading save percentage of .932. He would also lead
the League in wins, saves, goals against and tie with four other league goalies with five shut-outs.

Matiss would finish the season with 36 victories and just seven losses over the Anderson Cup season. Twice he was the USHL’s
goaltender of the week. His 1.85 goals against average is the lowest in USHL Tier 1 history and his.932 save percentage the
second highest in USHL Tier 1 history.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Matiss Kivlenieks
<\/b><\/span>
Musketeers 2016-17
Matiss Kivlenieks becomes the first Musketeer player to secure both the USHL Player of the Year and Goaltender of the Year awards.\u00a0<\/span>
After setting countless individual goaltending records during the regular season, leading the Musketeers to a regular season championship
and a trip to the final championship game, Matiss easily secures both these top honors. He would be named to the All-USHL First Team.

Goaltender\u00a0Ryan Ferland\u00a0<\/b>and\u00a0Todd Scott\u00a0<\/b>both log some limited time in the Musketeer’s net. Ryan would see time in five games
posting a 2-2 record. He would finish his short stint with the Musketeers with a.891 save percentage and a 2.59 goals against
average.\u00a0He would spend the remainder of the season playing for the New Jersey Jr. Titans\u00a0

Todd Scott\u00a0<\/b>would join the Musketeers well aware of his long-term plans with the Musketeers. Joining the Musketeers behind a
veteran goalie that rarely faltered; his main job was to provide some occasional rest and sit back and learn from the veteran. He first
entered the Musketeers radar when he provided those in attendance to a stellar week of goaltending during the team’s annual summer
try-out camp; he played nearly perfect hockey, only letting a few goals past him in some eight games. He is perfectly positioned
to take over the Musketeers future goaltending duties for multiple seasons.

Returning Veteran Eeli Tolvanen leads the way in scoring this season notching 30 goals for a season high 54 points. The Musketeers
made several trades this season to bolster their offence well into the season; Charlie Kelleher and Odeen Tufto both arrived two-thirds
in to the season sporting 33 and 28 points, as Musketeers they would build on these numbers. Charlie would finish with 17 goals and
34 assists while Odeen did so a goal & a pair of assists behind him. Another veteran Phil Knies would finish in the fourth spot notching
21 goals and 20 assists. Rookie Kristian Pospisil will round out the high scorers with 15 goals and 25 assists in just 48 games played.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

two nights later. The series returns to Chicago where the Steel would dominate; finding the net three times and blanking Sioux City
\u00a0for the fifth time in six periods. Game four looks to be more of the same as the Steel lead by 2 goals twice during the game. However,
two Musketeer goals with in the last minutes of the third period, set the table for a pivotal game five. A record 6300 Musketeer fans
fill the Tyson; liking their chances with the recently defeated and road weary Steel. The Musketeers dominate the entire game, but both

A Sioux City Tradition and The Musketeer Curse<\/span>
By 2002 the Musketeers has established one of the League’s few New Years Eve Game traditions; missing just four
games at home since the maiden season as a Jr. A league. Thirteen out of twenty times the Musketeers started the
new year and second half of the season, with a victory…<\/span><\/p>\r\n

…however, a rare over-time loss to the Topeka Scarecrows on December 31st, 2002 would set in motion another
tradition that no-one wanted anything to do with; for the next nine seasons in a row, the Musketeers would come up short in
their annual game and over the next fifteen seasons, win only two times during the traditional home game NYE classic.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

2019 USHL Play-Offs<\/span><\/b>
The Musketeers start out well this season, but starting in December they lose top players to the World Junior Challenge,
suspensions and never ending injuries, keeping the team from gaining any momentum.\u00a0 USHL high scorers; Bobby Brink and
Martin Pospisil did start to heat up as the season neared it’s completion and with just a few games remaining, the Musketeers
find them selves in a battle with Omaha for the final play-off spot.\u00a0 The odds looked stack against the Musketeers, who face
a tougher remaining schedule than the Lancers, however, a surprise victory over the league leading Tri City Storm,
clinches the final spot for the Musketeers.

Divisional Quarter-Final Game<\/span><\/b><\/span>
Musketeers vs.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span>Sioux Falls Stampede
<\/b><\/span>Clark Cup play-off first round action features a best of three series played consecutively on the higher seeded team’s home ice.
Sioux City draws Sioux Falls, a team they could only solve one time in eight meetings. However, game one is a nail-biter with
both teams remaining tied at one goal each on a Blake Biondi tally in the second period. A two-man power play, just past
the mid-way point of the third, was all the Stampede needed for the game winner and the first of two of their necessary wins.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Game two is a barn burner and after three regulation periods, the game remains tied at two goals a piece on Musketeer red-lighters

4-Musketeers vs.\u00a0 Tri-City Storm-3<\/strong><\/span>
Game Three<\/span><\/p>\r\n

With Sioux City in the driver\u2019s seat, this game turns to a defensive battle between two of the league\u2019s best goaltenders. The games stay scoreless until midway through the second when Grant Slukynsky<\/strong> eventual game winner gets the Musketeers on the board. TC launches a barrage of shots on Goaltender Alex Tracy<\/strong> but he remains unbeatable, stopping all thirty-one shots on goal. Ben Doran<\/strong> spreads some icing on the cake with an empty netter that gives the Musketeers the Western Conference Championship and a trip to the Clark Cup finals.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Clark Cup Final
<\/strong>May 15th<\/sup>, 16th<\/sup>, 20th<\/sup> & 21st<\/sup>
<\/strong>The championship series pits the Musketeers against the Madison Capitols. The fifth place Caps have deservedly earned their way to the final series, beating the number four, three and one seeded teams in the East Conference. The Caps are hot having poured in eight goals in their most recent win as the series underdogs.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

2-Musketeers vs.\u00a0Madison Capitals-3<\/strong><\/span>
Game One<\/span>
However, the Caps with just three days rest, hit the Musketeers hard with two first period goals. Dylan James<\/strong> grabs the momentum when he scores early the second period but the Caps answer back later in the period. Sioux City dominates the third period, launching fourteen shots on goal compared to Madison\u2019s single attempt. Sam Deckhut<\/strong> makes it close midway through the period but SC takes a penalty late in the game, dashing their chances at a game one win.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

3-Musketeers vs.\u00a0Madison Capitals-2<\/strong><\/span>
Game Three<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The series moves to Madison with the Musketeers in a position to win the Cup on visitor\u2019s ice just like they did twenty seasons ago. Dylan James<\/strong> gets the Musketeers going early in the first but the Caps do answer back twice after one period of play. However red lighters by Ben Doran<\/strong> and a second one by Dylan<\/strong> in periods two and three give the Musketeers a series lead.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

2-Musketeers vs.\u00a0Madison Capitals-1 OT<\/strong><\/span>
Game Four<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Bob Suter arena looks to be a home game for the Musketeers as hundreds of faithful fans have made the trek to Madison hoping to watch their Musketeers clinch the championship. The series turns defensive again with both goaltenders playing at the top of their game. Neither team can find the back of the net until the third period when Charlie Schone<\/strong> scores to game\u2019s first goal. However the Caps are not out yet and answer back four minutes later sending the game to overtime. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Just like last time the Musketeers won the Cup, they needed an overtime hero and this time its Nick Pierre,<\/strong> just shy of six minutes gone in the OT, giving the Musketeers a victory and their first Clark Cup in twenty seasons. Once again, Alex Tracy<\/strong> is amazing between the pipes, stopping twenty three shots on goal. He allows the high scoring Caps only six goals and turns away ninety attempts during the series.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

*******************************2023 USHL Play-Offs*******************************<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The play-off format remains the same this season; top two teams in each division will get a bye. The remaining four teams will play a three game miniseries, all on the home ice of the higher seeded team. However, the only change is the quarter-finals will also be a three game series with all games at the higher seeds home rink. The remaining semi-finals and the final match-ups will both be a traditional 2-2-1 series.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Starting in January, the Musketeers become the hottest team in the league. Recording only eight losses before season ends thirty five games later, they finish second in the west division with a 41-16-4-1 record. They have a first round bye as they wait to see who their quarter-final opponent will be.\u00a0 <\/em><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Game One

Tri-City capitalizes early in the first period, but twelve minutes later, Ben Steeves<\/strong> ties the game at one apiece. The Storm strikes first again in the opening minute of the period and adds two more goals before the period is even half over. However, the maybe down-but never out Musketeers score the game\u2019s next four goals; two in the second by Dylan James<\/strong> and Charlie Schone<\/strong> and two in the third; Nick Pierre<\/strong> ties the game and Bennett Schimek<\/strong> stuns the home town crowd when he stuffs in the game winner with just five seconds on the clock.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/span><\/p>\r\n

It\u2019s more of the same, this time it\u2019s the Musketeers who break out with a four goal first period on red-lighters from Dylan James<\/strong>, Nick Piere<\/strong> and two from Ben Steeves<\/strong>, his second with just two seconds remaining. TC mounts a comeback bid with a goal in the second and two in the third but goaltended Alex Tracy rises to the occasion, stops twenty-one shots and give the Musketeers a pair of road wins.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Game Three<\/em><\/span><\/p>\r\n

With Sioux City in the driver\u2019s seat, this game turns to a defensive battle between two of the league\u2019s best goaltenders. The games stay scoreless until midway through the second when Grant Slukynsky<\/strong> eventual game winner gets the Musketeers on the board. TC launches a barrage of shots on Goaltender Alex Tracy<\/strong> but he remains unbeatable, stopping all thirty-one shots on goal. Ben Doran<\/strong> spreads some icing on the cake with an empty netter that gives the Musketeers the Western Conference Championship and a trip to the Clark Cup finals.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\r\n
