I have been working on this Musketeer History Project for several years, but it really started way back on October 20th, 1972<\/span>
\nwhen the Musketeers played their first game in the Auditorium against the Chicago Warriors.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nLeague consists of eight Member teams playing a\u00a0forty-eight<\/b>\u00a0game regular season schedule.
\n<\/span>
\nNorth Division:<\/b>\u00a0Austin Mavericks, Bloomington Stars, Green Bay Bobcats, St. Paul\u00a0Vulcans
\nSouth Division:<\/b>\u00a0Waterloo Black Hawks, Dubuque Fighting saints, Des Moines Buccaneers, Sioux City Musketeers<\/span><\/p>\n

This season the Waterloo Black Hawks move to Dubuque to become the Fighting Saints. The Hennepin (MN)\u00a0Nordiques\u00a0would<\/span>
\nrelocate to Waterloo and become the Black Hawks. This series of moves, makes Sioux City the only remaining \u201coriginal\u201d USHL team.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Musketeers could only muster a mere twelve wins during the 48 game season and finished fifty-three points behind the<\/span>
\nAnderson, Clark and Gold\u00a0Cup Champions, the Dubuque Fighting Saints.\u00a0\u00a0It was a dark time in the Musketeer history and<\/span>
\nas the season ended, the Musketeer franchise teetered on the brink of\u00a0 disaster.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

\u00a0Note:<\/b>\u00a0Sioux City native and\u00a0SYHA\u00a0player, Mike Bennett (Metros Class of \u201980)\u00a0 would join the Musketeers this season\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe series opens in Des Moines and the game starts out with a surprise presentation of Bob Ferguson\u2019s USHL Coach<\/span>
\nof the Year Award by his parents in from Kingston, Ont. Brian Williams scores four goals and adds three assists, tieing<\/span>
\na Musketeer scoring record of eight points in a game, and Doug\u00a0Spedding\u00a0stops 26 shots on goal to secure a convincing<\/span>
\ngame one win.\u00a0 Game two saw Fred Kaminska\u2019s coast-to-coast-tie breaking goal, with just a minute left in regulation,<\/span>
\nsecure a 7-4 victory and a 2-0 series lead.<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0offence\u00a0continues to put pucks in the net with both teams putting seven goals on the board, however an overtime goal<\/span>
\nby Des Moines Jeff Ulrich keeps the\u00a0Bucs\u00a0hopes alive. Sioux City launches 66 shots on goal, but only finds the back of<\/span>
\nthe net twice; the\u00a0Bucs\u00a0fire 40 shots of their own, lighting the lamp three times and taking the series back to Sioux City<\/span>
\nfor a final winner take all game.<\/span><\/p>\n

In front of a record setting crowd of 2802 Musketeers fans, they packed the Audi hoping for the franchise\u2019s first Clark Cup<\/span>
\nChampionship. Game five tensions were high on both sides and even before the National Anthem, a pair of fights erupted<\/span>
\nduring the warm-ups resulting in penalties to both teams including Musketeers Brian Williams, Jeff Jacobs and Fred Kaminska.<\/span>
\nThis set the table for a barn-burner. However, the Musketeers jump all over the\u00a0Bucs\u00a0in the first period, putting nineteen<\/span>
\nshots on goal and scoring five times. The Musketeers kept the pressure on scoring another two goals in the second and<\/span>
\none in the third\u00a0 for a final 8-2 Musketeer victory and their first USHL Clark Cup Championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWorst to First\u201d<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe Musketeers wrap-up a Cinderella season; going from a team that previous season so bad, they almost suspended<\/span>
\noperations \u2013 to winning both the United States Hockey League Anderson and Clark Cup Champions.

1<\/b><\/span>982 NHL Draft<\/span>
\n<\/b>Held on June 9th at the Montreal Forum<\/span>
\nIn just the second season as a Junior League, the USHL places four players among the NHL draftees. One of them in the first round<\/span>
\nwhen St. Paul\u00a0Vulcans\u00a0player Phil Housley is selected sixth by the Buffalo Sabres. He would become the League\u2019s first great player,<\/span>
\nlogging twenty-one seasons in the NHL, playing in 1580 plus games and recording 1288 total points.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nLeague consists of seven Member teams playing a\u00a0forty-eight<\/b>\u00a0game regular season schedule. Green Bay leaves league. One division.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/b>Austin Mavericks, Bloomington Stars, St. Paul\u00a0Vulcans, Waterloo Black Hawks, Dubuque Fighting Saints, Des Moines Buccaneers, Sioux City Musketeers<\/span><\/p>\n

After last seasons success the Musketeers look to rebuild a seriously depleted squad including forwards,\u00a0Defensemen\u00a0and goaltenders. Sixty some hopefuls 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. Returning from last years championship team are forwards Pete\u00a0Ryskamp, Duane Fonger, Dave Witham & Mike\u00a0Sellke\u00a0and\u00a0Defensemen\u00a0Mark Hagen and Jeff Jacobs. Absent is a veteran goalie have lost both of their starters from the prior season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\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<\/span>
\nDubuque 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\u00a0it\u2026Dubuque. And just like last year, just one goal short.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

\u00a0 6- Musketeers vs. Dubuque-8<\/b><\/span>
\nGame 1 \/ April 13th<\/span>
\nThe tournament favorites meet right away and the Saints hit the Musketeers quickly-lighting the lamp four times in the first<\/span>
\nminute of all three periods and often-launching 42 shots on goal. Scott Dub scored twice and Al\u00a0Ericksson\u00a0once in the final<\/span>
\nminutes of\u00a0 the third, but the Musketeers couldn\u2019t close the gap and opened the tournament with a 8-6 loss.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nGame 2 \/ April 14th<\/span>
\nThe Musketeers\u00a0offence\u00a0roared back in game two; putting 52 shots on goal and scoring four times in the first period. However,<\/span>
\nthe Chicago Jets\u00a0 were up for the challenge from one of the USHL\u2019s best teams; also scoring four times in the first and turning-<\/span>
\naway 46 potential red-lighters. Each team added\u00a0 a pair of goals as the final horn sounded ending the game in a tie.<\/span><\/p>\n

10- Musketeers vs. Lowell Chiefs-3<\/b><\/span>
\nGame 3 \/ April 15th<\/span>
\nTerry Jensen scores three goals, Thor Bolstad & Al\u00a0Ericksson\u00a0score two and Dana\u00a0Orent\u00a0stops 27 shots in an offensive<\/span>
\nout-burst not seen since the middle of the season when they beat Des Moines back in January 11-3. The Musketeers have<\/span>

\nApril 17th \/ Championship<\/span>
\nIn a much expected and anticipated all USHL National Championship showdown it would be the defending USHL champs taking<\/span>
\non the current USHL Champs. With the Saints dominating the Musketeers over the last games they have been victorious eleven times in<\/span>
\nthirteen outing against the Musketeers. However, when it comes to one single game-anything can happen. Sioux City jumped out<\/span>
\nto an early lead scoring twice in the first and shutting down the Saints in the second period, however, the defense faltered and the<\/span>
\noffence\u00a0stalled in the third and the Saint scored twice, giving them the victory and \u201cTriple Crown\u201d bragging rights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

USHL All-Star Game
\n<\/b>January 25th, 1983
\n<\/b>The USHL All-Star game Scheduled to be played in Sioux City is canceled because of the Nation\u2019s overall poor economic<\/span>

1<\/b><\/span>983 NHL Draft<\/span>
\n<\/b>Held on June 8th at the Montreal Forum<\/span>
\nThe USHL places three players among the NHL hopefuls; the Dubuque Fighting Saints offer up two players and the Des Moines<\/span>
\nBuccaneers the third. Among those drafted in the opening round are Hall of\u00a0Famers\u00a0Steve\u00a0Yzerman, Pat Lafontaine and Cam Neely,<\/span>
\nalso selected at number twelve in Dave Gagner; he would go on to a seventeen season NHL career. Dave\u2019s son, Sam would eventually<\/span>
\nplay a season for the Musketeers before embarking on a twelve season NHL careers himself.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>
\nLeague consists of eight Member teams playing a\u00a0forty-eight<\/b>\u00a0game regular season schedule. North Iowa joins the League.<\/span>
\n
\nAustin Mavericks,\u00a0<\/b>Bloomington Stars, St. Paul\u00a0<\/b>Vulcans, Waterloo Black Hawks,\u00a0<\/b>Dubuque Fighting Saints,<\/span>
\nDes Moines Buccaneers, North Iowa Huskies, Sioux City Musketeers<\/span><\/p>\n

The Musketeers would consider this a rebuilding season with only seven returning veterans; Dana Orent<\/strong> is back for
\na second season and looks to build <\/span>on his\u00a0prior season\u2019s honors of\u00a0 the USHL\u2019s best goaltender. Also returning are forwards
\nScott Dub, Rick\u00a0Swarbrick<\/strong>\u00a0& Keith<\/strong><\/span>Schermele<\/strong> and\u00a0defensemen\u00a0Jerry Viti, Tom\u00a0Shinabargar<\/strong>\u00a0& Keith\u00a0Savaire<\/strong>.
\nThe Musketeers perform well during the season <\/span>posting an overall third-place finish\u00a0with a 31-14-2 record.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the Musketeers would excel during the\u00a0second season<\/i>\u00a0and find themselves playing in the Clark Cup final.\u00a0 After the<\/span>
\nunderdog Musketeers would build a 3 game- to-one lead on the St. Paul\u00a0Vulcans, they would lose three in a row for another<\/span>
\nsecond place finish.<\/span><\/p>\n

Having qualified for the Nation Championship Tournament a third time in a row, the two-time Tournament Runner-ups hope the<\/span>
\nthird times a charm. Musketeers head to St. Clare Shores for their third appearance at the Junior A National Championships. The tournament<\/span>
\nfeatures six teams representing Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Massachusetts, Illinois and New York. The Musketeers would lose the opening<\/span>
\nround game to Frasier Flags of Michigan but rebound with a win over Lowell, however it was downhill from there as the Musketeers<\/span>
\nposted losses to St. Paul and Buffalo and skating to a tie with eventual tournament champions the Chicago Jets.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe Musketeers start the series on the road again posting a game one win; bombing the Mavericks on their home ice 9-3. Don Elland<\/span>
\nrecorded three of those goals and Dana\u00a0Orent\u00a0stopped 39 Austin shots on goal. Austin would answer back with a hometown<\/span>

Musketeers vs. St. Paul\u00a0Vulcans<\/span>
\n<\/b>USHL Championship Series<\/span>
\nLooking for their second Clark Cup victory since the new League formation, the Musketeer have an uphill battle taking on the regular<\/span>
\nseason champions from St. Paul. The League\u2019s hottest goalie Dana\u00a0Orent\u00a0stops all but one of 33 Vulcan shots for an opening series<\/span>
\nroad win. Building on the previous game\u2019s success he only allows three goals on 44 shots and Mike\u00a0Sparago\u00a0notches a pair of goals<\/span>
\nand three assists secures another road win for the Musketeers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scheduling conflicts with the Auditorium force the Musketeers to play their home games for the championship series at the old Bubble,<\/span>
\nnow called the Marina Inn Convention Center. The Musketeers return\u00a0 \u201chome\u201d for game\u2019s three and four. Almost unbeatable at<\/span>
\nAudi the unfamiliar surroundings plays much like a travel game and the Musketeers lose game three 3-1 but rebound for a<\/span>
\n5-4 win giving the Musketeers a 3 games to 1 edge.<\/span><\/p>\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\u2019t<\/span>
\nget the\u00a0offence\u00a0going and lose a nail biter in overtime 3-2. With the pressure still on the\u00a0Vulcans\u00a0the teams return to Sioux City\u00a0 but they<\/span>
\ncan\u2019t finish the job, losing a second time in a row at \u201chome\u201d. Game seven is a nail-biter going into the third but the Vulcan light the lamp<\/span>
\nthree times in the final period for a 5-3 championship win.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nshot at the St. Paul\u00a0Vulcans.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Musketeers stumble right out of the blocks losing game one to Frasier Flags of Michigan 7-5. They would rebound with a win over<\/span>
\nLowell Mass but follow it up with a pair of losses to St. Paul 3-2 and Buffalo Jr. Sabres 7-4. The Musketeers would wrap-up their fifth<\/span>

Game Three<\/strong> brought together two very familiar teams; until Wednesday\u2019s upset loss to St. Clare, the Mustangs
\nwere the other <\/span>tournament favorite. Successful against the Musketeers only once in thee last eight meetings they
\nstill had something to prove; with <\/span>a chance for a win in this game three the results would mean a rematch in the
\nchampionship the next night. The Musketeers would <\/span>own the first period, jumping out to a three goal lead and
\nsending the impression that the game was over. Rochester wasn\u2019t going away <\/span>and scored four unanswered second
\nperiod goals taking the lead and setting the stage for final period nail-biter.\u00a0 However, it was time <\/span>for the Musketeers
\nto do what they did best all season…and that\u2019s put pucks in the net; scoring five times in the third period the
\nMusketeers would cement a victory and a shot <\/span>at a National Championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nWith identical tournament records, a pair of wins and a tie, the Musketeers would again meet up with the St. Clare Shores<\/span>
\nFalcons. In game two the Musketeers would have to come from behind to tie the game. This time, the Musketeers jump out<\/span>
\nto a commanding 3-0 lead after two periods and look to leave the challengers in the dust.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the game\u2019s momentum quickly changes when the Falcons score a quick pair of goals less than two minutes in the<\/span>
\nthird period. The Musketeers are able to answered back, but St. Clare isn\u2019t done yet and the Falcons add two more goals<\/span>
