\ntotal was average, it was his dedication to his team and to his team mates that was his most valuable asset. While he was
\nan Alternate Captain his last season, there was no doubt that he was one of the team leaders during all four of those
\nseasons and he quickly became a fan favorite.
\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>

\nBrett Larson shown here at the May 23rd, 2011 Press Conference.\u00a0Prior to joining the Musketeers organization, he
\nserved as assistant coach for three years at his alma mater, the University of Minnesota Duluth, where he helped the

\n70-40-15 record and also captured the 2008 Western Collegiate Hockey Association Final Five championship.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

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

Matt Skoff<\/span>
\n<\/b>Musketeers 2009-12
\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span>
\nThird year Musketeer veteran\u00a0Matt Skoff<\/b>\u00a0was the obvious choice for starting goalie duties this season. And, like the
\nprevious two seasons he logged a full schedule playing 49 games and posting another winning record going 25-22-1.
\nFor the second consecutive season in a row he would record a leagur high six shut-outs. He would receive the
\nMusketeers\u00a0Most Valuable Player<\/b>\u00a0Award and finish with a 2.72 GAA, the 6th best in the USHL.
\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nMatt will probably be remembered as one of the Musketeers’ most popular goalies. Playing three seasons in one location,
\nrecording 148 games, all with winning records, and getting your team to the post season twice in a row, makes you a fan
\nfavorite very quickly. He would go on to play four season in the newly NCAA\u00a0 Big-10 division playing for Penn State.
\nMatt would go on to play a pair of seasons in the ECHL for the Reading Royals, Colorado Eagles and Florida Everblades.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nstill earned eleven starts and time in eighteen games. He finished the season with\u00a0 four wins and eight losses. The following
\ntwo seasons he would play in the NAHL for the Janesville Jets and the Brookings Blizzard.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nAfter splitting his final year of Junior hockey between The Brookings Blizzard and the Wenatchee Wild of the North American

\nMusketeers vs. Fargo Force<\/span>
\n<\/b>Duplicating the experimental play-off format like the previous season, the Musketeers draw the fourth seed and take the\u00a0Iron Lung<\/i>\u00a0to Fargo
\nfor a quick three game mini series. The Musketeers stay close in the defensive battle with a goal from Tim O’Brien to keep the game knotted
\nthough regulation. However, a Willie Corrin overtime goal gave the Force a one game lead. Game two saw the weary Musketeers offence
\ncontinued to sputter, scoring only one goal and losing the game 5-1.<\/span><\/p>\n

Did You Know<\/b>…Mark Abalan split the 1994-95 USHL season between the Musketeers and the Madison Capitols.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Kyle Hayton<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/b>Musketeers 2012-14
\nPrior to joining the Musketeers and the USHL,\u00a0 the Colorado native spent three seasons playing at Shattuck St. Mary’s;
\nplaying in some ninety-one games he would average a phenomenal 1.85 goals against average and a .924 save percentage.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/b>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nKyle joins the Musketeers this season as a rookie in the USHL and quickly earns the starting position. He would go
\n13-8-4 and finished the season with a impressive 2.65 goals against average and a .911 save percentage placing him
\namong the top five qualified goalies in the USHL in both categories. The following season he would lead the
\nMusketeers back to post season play and a second round showing the Clark Cup western division championship.

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

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

\nJake Guentzel<\/strong> would pave the way in scoring this season for the Musketeers this season. His twenty-nine goals and
\nforty-four assists were both team highs. Rookies Jared Thomas<\/strong> and Jake Montgomery<\/strong> would both make their first of
\nback-to-back appearances as Musketeer top scorers. Jared would record eighteen goals and twenty-three helpers for forty-one
\npoints and Jake sixteen goals and eighteen assists for thirty-four points. Another rookie and mid-season arrival Trevor<\/strong>
\nOlson<\/strong> would post ten goals also for 34 points. Jared Kolquist<\/strong> would finish the top five scorers with six goals and twenty-one

\nin a win over the\u00a0Omaha Lancers goal and added seven assists during this rookie season.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

\nMusketeers 2011-13
\n<\/span><\/span>Conor\u00a0<\/b>joined the team very late in the prior season having played forty-three games for the Oakville Blades of the
\nOntario Junior League. With time still left in the season, Connor would suit-up for the five remaining games; notching
\nhis first USHL goal as a Musketeer\u00a0in a 3-0 blanking of the Fargo Force.
\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
\nThis season Connor McGlynn<\/strong> takes on\u00a0 a much bigger role for the Musketeers, and while he only posted three goals and ten
\npoints, he\u00a0played consistently in forty-eight games and finished fifth among Musketeer Heavy Hitter with seventy-five
\npenalty minutes. He would also be selected to play in the\u00a0USHL All-Star & Prospect Game<\/b> where he scored the game
\nwining goal in a 2-1 win for the Western Division. He played three seasons for the Kingston Frontenacs (OHL) and is
\ncurrently playing at St. Mary’s University in Canada.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cliff Watson<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/b>Musketeers 2011-13
\nCliff would log a pair of seasons playing for the Musketeers. The Appleton Wisconsin high schooler would quickly adjust to

\nhelp score eight Musketeer goals. He would be the sole Musketeer selected to play in the USHL All-Star\/Prospects game.<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nVeteran and Ironman Cliff Watson<\/strong> misses only two games during this extended sixty-four game regular season. He
\nwould put his first Musketeer biscuit in a Musketeer basket on February 15th in a 5-3 win over the visiting Tri-City
\nStorm. By season’s end he would tally three goals, eight assists and sixty-five penalty minutes. Always a team leader,
\nhe was selected as one the the Alternate Team Captains. Cliff was drafted by the San Jose Sharks in the 2012 NHL

\nMost Valuable Player<\/b> and Rookie of the Year\u00a0<\/b>Awards. In\u00a0 addition he would earn a spot on the\u00a0USHL All-Star Team
\n<\/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

But Wait-there’s more…<\/b>after three seasons playing for the UNO Mavericks and another season playing for the WBS Penguins,<\/span>
\nJake would make his NHL debut on November 21st , 2016 playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins. He would find the net twice that<\/span>

\nKyle Hayton. <\/b>They would form up this seasons well experienced goaltending duo.\u00a0 Fresh off a previous season that was
\nloaded with one goal losses, this tandem looks to avenge the nearly 35 points left on the table last season. With stellar play
\nfrom Kyle, a mid-season trade moved Connor to the Brookings Blizzard of the NAHL.\u00a0Collin Olson<\/b> would join the team
\nin late December where both goaltenders would work a regular rotation.
\nBy season’s end, the duo of\u00a0Hayton<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Olson<\/b> would lead the Musketeers to a third place finish in the western division
\nas well as a long overdue return to serious post season play, with a showing in the Western Division championship series.
\nBoth goaltenders boast winning records and finish among the top ten goalies in the league; Collin with a 2.29 GAA and
\nKyle with a 2.70 GAA.

\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/b>Beginning his second season as a Musketeer,\u00a0Kyle Hayton\u00a0<\/b>quickly took over the starting duties and never looked back.
\nWith sixteen wins, he leads the 19-9 Musketeers into the winter break and would finishes the season with a 24-14-2

\n<\/span>Collin joins the Musketeers this season with junior and colligiate experience having played for both the USA National
\nDevelopement team and the Ohio State University. During the 2012 World Junior Tournament, Collin would hog up all
\nthe goalie accolades; going undefeated in five gams he would record the tournament’s best <\/span>Goals Against Average and
\nSave Percentage as well as the Tournament’s Most Valuable Player Award.<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/b>Joining the Musketeers late in December,\u00a0Collin Olson<\/b>\u00a0he would use his experience to challenge for the starting position.
\nHe surrenders only four goals in his first three winning starts with the Musketeers, including his\u00a0first Musketeer shut-out
\nin a January 3rd blanking of the Muskegon Lumberjacks. He would play in twenty Musketeer games going 12-3-1

Connor Girard<\/span>

\nConnor would play a total of three USHL seasons; starting the 2011 season in the North American League he would
\njoin the Dubuque Fighting Saints mid-campaign, posting a rookie season 5-1-1 record. The following season saw
\nhim challenge for the starting position in Dubuque; seeing time in twenty-one games recording fourteen wins, three
\nlosses and a pair of shoot-out losses. However, another mid-season trade made him a Musketeer, where he
\nfinished the season playing a dozen games; posting four wins, eight losses including a single overtime.
\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
\nThe returning veteran would start this new season competing for the starting spot between the pipes. He began the
\nseason going\u00a02-2 and earned his first shut-out of the season on October 18th against the Fargo Force. However, his
\npartner started out\u00a0the season with terrific numbers, and it was tough to get the time in net that a third year player

2013 USA Hockey Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament<\/span>
\n<\/b><\/span>Originally named the the Pacific Cup, and generally refereed to as the U-18 Junior World Tournament, it began in 1991<\/span><\/span>
\nand was played in Japan, Mexico and Canada. In1997 Slovakia and the Czech Republic began co-hosting the annual<\/span>
\ntournament. It was not until around 1996 that the USHL began to have regular representation of its U-18 players.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2007, the tournament was renamed in honor of\u00a0 Ivan Hlinka; one of the first superstars in Czechoslovakian hockey – both<\/span>
\ndomestically and internationally. Following his storied player career he would take a spot behind the bench for numerous<\/span>
\nCzech National Teams. In 2000 he became just the second European to coach in the NHL. In 2007 the tournament<\/span>
\nwas renamed in his honor.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Eastern Conference:\u00a0<\/b>Bloomington Thunder,\u00a0<\/b>Cedar Rapids Rough Riders, Chicago Steel, Green Bay Gamblers
\nMuskegon Lumberjacks,\u00a0Madison Capitols, Team USA, Youngstown Phantoms, Waterloo Black Hawks
\n
\nWestern Conference:<\/b>\u00a0Des Moines Buccaneers, Dubuque Fighting Saints, Fargo Force, Lincoln Stars, Omaha Lancers,
\nSioux Falls Stampede,\u00a0<\/b>Tri-City Storm, Sioux City Musketeers<\/span><\/p>\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
\nunbeatable 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
\nMusketeers would score five unanswered goals in the third period in Sioux Falls to clinch their first Western
\nConference Championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

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

\nto be a Musketeers series one win…is anything but.\u00a0 The Musketeers offence seems to stall-out and the Stampede is play-off hot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1-Musketeers vs Sioux Falls-5<\/span><\/strong>
\nGame One
\n<\/span>The series opener does not go well for the visiting Musketeers as they can not generate any successful offence. <\/span>Both
\nteams launch seventy-seven total shots on goal. Dispite thirty-seven\u00a0 Musketeer shots on net, <\/span>Joe Snively<\/strong> is the lone goal
\nscorer for Sioux City. <\/span>Collin Olson <\/strong>has a busy night facing forty Stampede shots and stopping all but five of them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4-Musketeers vs Sioux Falls-2<\/span><\/strong>
\nGame Two
\nTwo nights later the home ice offers a chance for the Musketees seem to bounce back and they do so. A David Trinkberger
\n<\/strong> goal keeps the Musketeers deficit to one after the second period. However, the Musketeers offence ignights with thee goals
\nin the third period from Ryan Walker, Joel Janatuinen<\/strong> and Bobo Carpenter<\/strong>.\u00a0 Making thirty-one saves and seemingly
\nback on track is goaltender Collin Olson<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1-Musketeers vs Sioux Falls-4<\/span><\/strong>
\nGame Three
\n<\/span>Home ice is a moot point as the Musketeer offence sputters and they find themselves down by four goals after the second
\nperiod. A quick red-lighter from Joel Janatuinen\u00a0<\/strong>in the third period looks to spark the Musketeers but the offence continues
\nto struggle for the remainder of the game. Sioux Falls peppers Collin Olsen<\/strong> for the third game in a row, this time placing
\nthirty-seven shots on the increasingly tired goaltender.<\/span><\/p>\n

2-Musketeers vs Sioux Falls-1<\/span><\/strong>
\nGame Four
\nThe Musketeers bounce back with a road win on a first period goal from Joel Janatuinen<\/strong> and third period
\ngame-winner from Ryan Walker.\u00a0 <\/strong>However, Sioux Falls continues to bomb the Sioux City goaltender with shots
\non net. Collin Olson<\/strong> makes thirty-eight saves in this series tying game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1-Musketeers vs Sioux Falls-6<\/span><\/strong>
\nGame Five
\n<\/span>By the time this game rolls around the home team is out of gas and can generate no offence. The Musketeers fall behind
\nby three goals befor Adam Johnson<\/strong> lights the lamp mid-way in the second. This goals fails to spark the Musketeers the
\noffence is officially done for the season. Sioux Falls places a barrage of fifty-four shots on Collin Olson<\/strong> who makes
\nforty-nine saves in this loss to the eventual Clark Cup Champions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/b>Ufa, Russia \/ August 22nd-30, 2014
\n<\/span><\/span>After outscoring their first three opponents 18-4 the Musketeers would drop the next two games by a goal each. However,
\nthey would rebound in the consolation game with an overtime victory over Belarus.<\/span>\u00a0This would be the third time in as many
\nseasons that a USHL team has medaled in he world tournament (Waterloo-Silver 2012 and Dubuque-Bronze 2013).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nIn addition to their usual mid-summer camp held at the IBP Ice Center they hold a week long final try-out camp<\/span>

The Musketeers start the season looking good on paper with several returning players as well as a veteran goaltender they
\nstart the season <\/span>looking like a very solid team that will have a chance at an eventual Clark Cup run. They hold their own
\nthrough the first half of the season <\/span>going just under .500.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

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

\nAfter setting countless individual goaltending records during the regular season, leading the Musketeers to a regular season championship

\nGoaltender\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
\nposting a 2-2 record. He would finish his short stint with the Musketeers with a.891 save percentage and a 2.59 goals against
\naverage.\u00a0He would spend the remainder of the season playing for the New Jersey Jr. Titans
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

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

5-Musketeers vs. Des Moines Buccaneers-0
\n<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>Game Two
\n<\/span><\/span>This second match-up is more of the same with Sioux City continuing to dominate the struggling Bucs. Five different Musketeers
\nfind the back of the net including Brady Ferner, Carson Vance, Odeen Tusto, Kristian Pispisil<\/strong> and Jackson Keane. <\/strong>Des
\nMoines is able to generate twenty-three shots on goal,however, tonight Matiss Kivleneiks is perfect tonight stopping anything

\nfirst, but a quick Sioux City counter by Charlie Kelleher<\/strong> ties the game. The game stays even untill the mid-third periord
\nwhen Kristian Pospisil<\/strong> burries the eventual game winner. Again, Matiss Kivlenieks<\/strong> is almost perfect getting beat just one time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/b><\/span>The top two teams of the season meet in the second round. After a game one win 5-2 by Sioux City , Waterloo gained the home

\nMusketeers vs. Chicago Steel (Final)
\n<\/b>The final series is a fight to the end; The Musketeers win a 5-4 nail biter in overtime but the Steel respond with a 5-1 beat-down
\ntwo nights later. The series returns to Chicago where the Steel would dominate; finding the net three times and blanking Sioux City
\nfor 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,
\ntwo Musketeer goals with in the last minutes of the third period, set the table for a pivotal game five. A record 6300 Musketeer fans
\nfill the Tyson; liking their chances with the recently defeated and road weary Steel. The Musketeers dominate the entire game, but both
\nteams can only muster a single goal in regulation. The Musketeer domination continue through the OT\u00a0 period, but with nine minutes
\nremaining, Chicago slips a errant puck into the net for a game five victory.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Sioux City Tradition and The Musketeer Curse<\/span>

\ngames at home since the maiden season as a Jr. A league. Thirteen out of twenty times the Musketeers started the

…however, a rare over-time loss to the Topeka Scarecrows on December 31st, 2002 would set in motion another
\ntradition that no-one wanted anything to do with; for the next nine seasons in a row, the Musketeers would come up short in

*************************************2019 USHL Play-Offs***********************************<\/span><\/b><\/span>
\nThe Musketeers start out well this season, however early in December they lose top players to the World Junior Challenge,
\nsuspensions and never ending injuries and thay fail to gain any momentum as the season progresses..\u00a0 USHL high scorers;
\nBobby Brink<\/strong> and Martin Pospisil<\/strong> started to heat up as the season neared it’s completion and with just a few games
\nremaining, the Musketeers find themselves in a battle with Omaha for the final play-off spot.\u00a0 The odds looked stack against
\nthe Musketeers, who face a tougher remaining schedule than the Lancers, however, a surprise victory over the league leading
\nTri City Storm, clinches the final spot for the Musketeers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nGame 1<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/strong>April 16th, 2019
\n<\/span><\/span>Clark Cup play-off first round action features a best of three series played consecutively on the higher seeded team’s home ice.
\nSioux City draws Sioux Falls, a team they could only solve one time in eight meetings. However, game one is a nail-biter with
\nboth teams remaining tied at one goal each on a Blake Biondi<\/strong> tally in the second period. A two-man power play, just past
\nthe 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><\/span><\/p>\n

\nGame 2<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/strong>April 17th, 2019
\n<\/span><\/span>Game two is a barn burner and after three regulation periods, the game remains tied at two goals a piece on Musketeer red-lighters
\nfrom Blake Biondi<\/strong> and Albin Nilsson<\/strong>. Both goaltenders continue dominate the next three overtime periods, facing a combined
\nninety-three shots. The two-day affair didn’t end until Wednesday morning, when just under three minutes gone in the seventh
\nperiod, four minutes shy of the League’s longest game, Sioux Falls would find the back of the net and advanced to the second round.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nand recording a loss to Russia. An overtime goal sends USA to the finals again, meeting up with the same Russian team
\nthat beat them two days prior.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In a match-up between the tournaments two highest scoring teams, Russia and USA, this one is a defensive battle. Musketeer
\nBobby Brink gets USA on\u00a0the board first. That single goal lead would hold for most of the game as both goaltenders seem
\nunbeatable. However, Trevor Janicke would score with\u00a0 just forty-six seconds remaining and giving Team USA another

Team USA would open the tournament with preliminary wins over Sweden, Slovakia, Russia and Latvia outscoring their
