<\/b><\/span>The Musketeers start their fourth decade as members of the United States Hockey League.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

League contracts from fourteen to twelve Member teams playing a fifty-six<\/b> game regular season schedule. Thunder Bay and the
\nUS National team leave the league. The Fargo-Moorehead Sharks move to Illinois joining the league as the Chicago Steel and the Twin
\nCity Vilcans move to Nebraska becoming the Tri-City (Hastings, Grand Island, Kearney) Storm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eastern Conference:\u00a0<\/b>Green Bay Gamblers, Cedar Rapids Rough Riders, Waterloo Black Hawks, Chicago Steel,<\/span>
\nDubuque Fighting Saints, Rochester Mustangs<\/span>
\nWestern Conference:<\/b>\u00a0Lincoln Stars, Sioux Falls Stampede, Omaha Lancers, Des Moines Buccaneers,<\/span>
\nTri-City Storm, Sioux City Musketeers<\/span><\/p>\n

A final season record of 27-22-7 while winning was only enough for last place place in the very tough western division.
\nHowever, this <\/span>season\u2019s play-off format\u00a0still allowed them an eighth seed and another run at the Lincoln Stars.
\nUnfortunately, this series would end like <\/span>three previous series, with the Musketeer unable to solve the Stars.<\/span><\/p>\n

New Ownership Arrives in Sioux City<\/b><\/span>
\nAfter nineteen seasons, two Anderson Cups, two Clark Cups, four National Championship showings and a National
\nChampionship Victory, local <\/span>owners\u00a0Ted and Mary Jo Carlson<\/b>\u00a0decide it\u2019s time to sell the team. The Carlson\u2019s
\nwere first instrumental in the success of the new Siouxland <\/span>Youth\u00a0 Hockey program in the early 70\u2019s. Their support
\nof youth hockey continued to grow, and in 1981 their purchase of the team rescued <\/span>the Musketeers from a certain
\ndeath in the newly formatted USHL. Ted and Mary Jo would build the Musketeers into a powerhouse team<\/span>
\nduring the early 80\u2019s and form a dynasty that will likely never be equaled in the USHL.<\/span><\/p>\n

New Owners Gary\u00a0Weckworth\u00a0<\/strong>and Associates purchased the team and added USHL veteran coach Dave
\nSiciliano<\/strong> as Head Coach <\/span>and General Manager. Dave and his Assistant Coaches, Fred Harbinson<\/strong> and Jack
\nKowal <\/strong>waste no time-bringing the Clark Cup <\/span>back to Sioux City the following season.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ncoached the Thunder Bay Flyers for seven winning seasons including Four Anderson Cup Titles and two Clark Cup Championships.<\/span>
\nAlso on board are Assistant Coaches\u00a0Fred\u00a0Harinson<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Jack Kowal.<\/strong>\u00a0 Fred bring two seasons worth of experience having coached<\/span>

\nof experience with him having played and coached at the junior, college and professional levels.
\n<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Did You Know\u2026<\/strong>Fred coached the 199902000 Fernie Ghoastriders (NAHL) through thirty-one game winning streak; a current
\nJr. A record <\/span>that could certainally stand the test of time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Between the Pipes<\/span>
\n<\/b>Goaltenders\u00a0Brian Panik<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Jake Brandt<\/b>\u00a0would eventually form this year\u2019s last defenders. After some difficulty finding a back-up<\/span>
\nfor Brian; Casey Beauvais and Bryan Smith both logged some time as back-ups, however, a mid season trade brought Jake Brandt to<\/span>
\nSioux City from Lincoln. Brain & Jake would play out the season splitting starts; both would finish among the top ten USHL goalies.<\/span>
\n
\nBrian Panik<\/span><\/b><\/span>
\nMusketeers 2000-01<\/span>
\nBy the time Brian joined the Musketeers in 2000 he has already logged two plus seasons of junior hockey experience<\/span>
\nplaying in the\u00a0North American League for the Chicago Freeze and the St. Louis Sting.<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/b>Brian would join the Musketeers for the start of the season and quickly secure the starting duties. He would garner
\nthirty games <\/span>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
\ngoalie duties the <\/span>next season, Brian was snagged in a\u00a0special draft<\/i>\u00a0by the newly relocated Tulsa Crude. Logging another
\nthirty games in <\/span>Tulsa, where the Crude rarely won, he would compile a 8-18-3 record. The following season he would
\nmove to <\/span>the America West League playing his final\u00a0season for the Wichita Falls Rustlers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jake Brandt<\/span>
\n<\/b>Musketeers 2000-01<\/span>
\nPrior to joining the USHL Jake was a stand-out goaltender for Roseau High School leading his team to the State Tournament<\/span>
\nboth in 1999 and 2000; winning the tournament in \u201999. He was a two-time\u00a0All-Minnesota State Team<\/b>\u00a0selection, a three-time<\/span>
\nAll-Conference Team<\/b>\u00a0selection and in 2000 received the\u00a0Frank\u00a0Brimsek\u00a0Award<\/b>\u00a0presented to the state\u2019s top goaltender.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nFollowing the tournament, Jake Brandt<\/strong> would spend the remainder of the season playing for the Thunder Bay
\nFlyers where <\/span>the rookie saw time in seven games posting a 2-4 record. Jake would start this following season with
\nthe Lincoln Stars; <\/span>going 6-1 in his first seven starts. However, an early-season traded moved him to Sioux City
\nwhere he settled into a <\/span>starting rotation. He saw sixteen games and finished the season with an 8-4-3 record; his

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

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

\nNovember 6-13, 2000<\/span>

\nwould open the tournament with a surprise loss to the Norwegian National team by a score of\u00a0 6-2. Game\u00a0two was<\/span>
\nmore of the same; a 4-1 loss to the Swiss. Game three saw the\u00a0USHLers\u00a0skate to a four all tie with the<\/span>
\nhost team from Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nproduction <\/span>didn\u2019t stop at play-off time. Ryan would add ten more post-season points, recording four goals and six
\nassists helping lead the <\/span>Musketeers to their first Clark Cup Championship in sixteen years. Ryan would se selected
\nMusketeer Team Captain<\/b> and earn a <\/span>spots on the USHL All-Star Team<\/b> and the All-USHL First Team<\/b>.<\/span>
\n
\nRyan\u2019s arguably biggest goal came on the evening of May 12th, 2002 when he stunned the sell-out crowd in
\nOmaha, with an overtime goal that brought Sioux City their first Clark Cup in 15 seasons.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/b><\/span>
\n\u00a0Tyler Haskins<\/b> logged a single season in Sioux City. He played forty-six regular season games and another eleven
\nplay-off games where <\/span>he collected a point per game including a play-off goal that helped the Musketeers during this
\nsuccessful championshiprun – not to bad <\/span>for a fifteen year old. Althought expected to return to Sioux City for a follow-
\nup season, <\/span>Tyler made a move to the pro ranks instead.\u00a0 His <\/span>decision proved a worthy one as he would eventually play
\nsix seasons in the OHL, three more in the AHL and <\/span>eight seasons playing in Germany (DEL)<\/span><\/p>\n

\nJustin Fletcher<\/b>\u00a0played three seasons as a Musketeer. Shown here during his rookie season; he was a consistent
\ndefenseman and team <\/span>leader, he was a big part of the defensive corps that helped the Musketeers capture The\u00a0Clark
\nCup Championship<\/b>. His leadership <\/span>would transcend the seasons and during his final season, he would be selected
\nTeam Captain<\/b> and earn a spot on the\u00a0USHL All- Star Team<\/b>. Justin would play four seasons at St Cloud State
\nand then an additional eight professional seasons in the AHL and DEL<\/span><\/p>\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
\ndefensive <\/span>corps, Matt\u2019s solid play and dedication to the team made him a favorite with players and fans as well. His final
\nseason concluded <\/span>with a\u00a0Clark Cup Championship<\/b>\u00a0in Omaha. He recorded four goals for a dozen points his first season
\nand doubled his play-<\/span>making stats finishing the season with twenty points. He would also play a part in three Musketeer

*******************************************USHL Play-Offs******************************************<\/span>
\n<\/b>Four of the league\u2019s top five teams are from the western division this season and Sioux City\u2019s forty-one wins and eighty-six points<\/span>
\nis good enough for a third place finish. For the first time in four consecutive season-the Lincoln Stars will not be the Musketeers<\/span>
\nopening round foe but instead it will be the Sioux Falls Stampede.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Musketeers vs. Sioux Falls Stampede<\/strong><\/span>
\nQuarter Finals \/ Round One
\n<\/b>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<\/span>
\nadvantage as they quickly silence the latter scoring seven goals to the home teams single red-lighter. Having apparently scored all<\/span>
\ntheir allotted goals for the weekend, the Musketeers can only generate enough\u00a0offence\u00a0to score one goal. However, outstanding<\/span>
\nGoaltending\u00a0makes that one enough, and the Musketeers blank the Stampede and head back to Sioux City with a two game lead.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

Back in Green Bay for game three, the Musketeers have to again contend with the home ice\/crowd advantage, and just
\nlike <\/span>last time they use the scoreboard to quell the fans. The high scoring Musketeers grab seven goals, terrific
\ngoaltending <\/span>holds the Gamblers to just three and the game ends with Sioux City on the cusp of advancing to the finals.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Following the same game plan as the night before, this game four sees the Musketeers pile on six red-lighters. Green Bay
\ntries <\/span>to stay close scoring a respectable four goals, but the high scoring Musketeers pull away in the end winning the
\ngame <\/span>and the series. That same night they learn that their championship foe is none other than the regular season
\nchampions and <\/span>heavily favored Omaha Lancers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nMusketeers vs. Omaha Lancers<\/span>
\n<\/b>Championship \/ Round 3
\n<\/b>At the time, this is one of the most explosive rivalries in the USHL. However,\u00a0<\/b>his season\u2019s championship series
\nmatch-up leaves <\/span>many USHL fans asking the same question…will the Lancers win in three or four games.\u00a0 Most
\neveryone is already expecting and preparing for a celebratory <\/span>send-off of the Lancers iconic AK-SAR-BEN arena
\nby winning Clark Cup Championship. But not so fast\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1-Musketeers vs. Omaha Lancers-6
\n<\/span><\/b>Game One
\n<\/span>The series opener starts and finishes like most thought; the Musketeers are out-shot, out-scored and out-played by the
\nfavored Lancers. The <\/span>home crowd is relentless, as are the Lancers, they hang six goals on the visitors and everyone
\nknows that another championship <\/span>is close at hand. Brandon Schwartz<\/strong> is the lone goal scorer for the Musketeers<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

4-Musketeers vs. Omaha Lancers-3
\n<\/span><\/b>Game Two
\n<\/span>This one is expected to be more of the same; the Lancers come out hard, but so do the underdog Musketeers. John Zeiler<\/strong>
\nstarts out the scoring in the first, but Omaha quickly counters keeping the game tied after one. Just like last night,<\/span> Omaha
\nstarts to pour it on adding two goals in the second period. The Musketeers are able to stop the bleeding, but the Lancers
\nare nearly unbeatable going 44-1-2 when leading after two periods. However, the Musketeers dig deep; Jesse Modahl,
\nMatt Crandell<\/strong> and Brad Zancanaro <\/strong>grab red-lighters, the defence allows only nine Lancer shots and Kris Matotte
\n<\/strong> stops them all.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2-Musketeers vs. Omaha Lancers-1
\n<\/span><\/b>Game Three
\n<\/span>The series returns home to the friendly confines of the Audi, a place where the Musketeers lost just three times this
\nseason.\u00a0 <\/span>Musketeer Billy Maguson<\/strong> scores first but former Musketeer teammate Zach Klann <\/strong>ties the game for the Lancers
\nafter the first. Jeff Audino<\/strong> would grab the game winner in the second and Andy Franck<\/strong> would stop all but one of the
\nLancers twenty-six shots on net. Giving the Musketeers a chance to win it all on home ice.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1-Musketeers vs. Omaha Lancers-2
\n<\/span><\/b>Game Four
\n<\/span>The following night, game four is more of the same; two of the USHL’s best goalies going toe-to-toe as they both face
\nover fifty shots on goal. Justin Fletcher\u00a0<\/strong>would get the Musketeers only goal of the game but the Lancers would eventually
\neven the series giving them a face saving 2-1 win and one more chance to close the Historic Ak-Sar-Ben Arena as
\noriginally planned.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

4-Musketeers vs. Omaha Lancers-3 OT
\n<\/span><\/b>Game Five
\n<\/span>The championship game saw a Lancer crowd that was thirsty for a final season win. Filled to the brim, everyone knew
\ntonight was the <\/span>night they closed their old barn with, not only a win, but a championship win.\u00a0 Ahead by a pair of goals
\ngoing into the third <\/span>period, the relentless Sioux City Sucks<\/em> chants were deafening, a huge Lancer flag made its way around
\nthe rink every <\/span>two minutes and despite the frenzied crowd noise, you could almost hear the Champaign chillin’ in the
\nLancer\u2019s locker room. <\/span>However, two Sioux City goals in the last seven minutes from Matt Ciancio<\/strong> and Nathan
\nSchwartzbauer <\/strong><\/span>sent the game into overtime. Just sixty-seven seconds into the extra period Ryan Geris<\/strong>, injured ankle
\nand all, would find the back of the net stunning the Omaha crown and giving Sioux City their first Clark Cup
\nChampionship in sixteen seasons.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


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

Art\u00a0Femenella<\/span>
\n<\/b>Musketeers 2000-03<\/span>
\nPrior to the start of this third season as a Musketeer, Art had set the pace to become one of the Musketeers all-time penalty<\/span>
\nminute leaders; recording over 460 penalty minutes thus far. Fiercely competitive and loyal, none of Art\u2019s teammates need ask<\/span>
\nfor enforcement. Both a player and fan favorite he will always be remembered as one of the League\u2019s top Heavy Hitters and<\/span>
\none of the most popular Musketeer players.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nReturning for a third season, this natural team leader was selected again as one of the team\u2019s Alternate Captains. Recording his<\/span>
\ntraditional goal for the season, Art added six assists and tacked on another 197 penalty minutes; again leading the team for a<\/span>
\nthird season. Art will always be remembered as one of the top Musketeer and USHL heavy hitters of all time, as well as being<\/span>
\nremembered as one of the most popular Musketeers ever.<\/span><\/p>\n

He always had time for his fans and his overall dedication to the team, made him a favorite among players, coaches and fans.<\/span>
\nWhat he lacked in the goal scoring department, he more than made up for in enthusiasm among his fellow team mates. His 712<\/span>
\ntotal penalty minutes (664 regular season and 48 post season) puts him at the top of the Musketeer all-time leaders in penalty
\nminutes, he has him name on the Clark Cup <\/span>and was a USHL All-Star player his rookie season. Drafted by The Tampa Bay
\nLighting in 2001, Art played four seasons at <\/span>the University of Vermont and then joined Augusta Lynx (ECHL) befor a serious
\nhand injury derailed his professional hockey plans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Did You Know<\/b>\u2026are\u00a0Femenella\u00a0played five seasons in the USHL. Prior to three seasons in Sioux City, he played two<\/span>

\nA Sioux City Tradition and\u00a0 The Musketeer Curse\u2026<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

By 2002 the Musketeers has established one of the League\u2019s few New\u00a0Year\u2019s Eve Game<\/strong>\u00a0traditions; missing just four games at<\/span>
\nhome since the maiden season as a Jr. A league. Boasting a seventy-five percent\u00a0winnig\u00a0record at home or thirteen out of twenty<\/span>
\ngames the Musketeers started the New Year and second half of the season, with a victory.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, a rare over-time loss to the Topeka Scarecrows on this season\u2019s December 31st game, would set in motion another<\/span>
\ntradition that no-one wanted anything to do with; for the next nine seasons in a row, the Musketeers would come up short in<\/span>
\ntheir annual game and over the next fifteen seasons, win only two times during the home game NYE classic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, in 2017 the New Years Eve curse would seemingly be lifted, when in 2017 Musketeer Parker Ford and in 2018 Dominic<\/span>
\nVidoli\u00a0both scored game-winning goals against the Omaha Lancers giving the Musketeers a pair of consecutive NYE wins and<\/span>
\nputting the Musketeers back on the New Years Eve winners track.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

\n<\/b>The Musketeers finish the season with seventy-eight points, capturing a third place finish in the west division and a fourth

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

The Musketeers return to Omaha for a must win game-three to keep the series alive. Brandon Polich, Mike Ramirez, Ryan<\/strong>
\nHaskins<\/strong> <\/span>and\u00a0BJ\u00a0Greaves<\/strong> all score goals in a 4-1 victory and getting back into the series. Unfortunately, another night

\n<\/b>Returning veteran\u00a0Jimmy Spratt<\/b>\u00a0and Rookie\u00a0Jeff Lantz<\/b>\u00a0carried the\u00a0Goaltending\u00a0load this season. While Jimmy was first<\/span>
\ndesignated as the starter, but Jeff\u2019s constant play eventually worked him into regular starting rotation. Both goalies complied<\/span>
\nnineteen wins with Jimmy logging six losses and three shut-outs and Jeff with nine losses and two shut-outs. Both Jimmy<\/span>
\nand Jeff finished the season as top five goaltenders and both boasted a nearly identical GAA of 2.33 and 2.36.\u00a0<\/span>
\n <\/span>
\nThey also finished the season with the second best home ice record with twenty-one wins. Like last season, ties hurt the
\nMusketeers, and had they gone the other way, the Musketeers could have caught the eventual Anderson Cup Champs,
\nthe Tri-City Storm.

\nJimmy Spratt<\/b> was quickly becoming a\u00a0Goaltending\u00a0force in the league. He was the first part of a solid & reliable
\ngoaltending duo that <\/span>would lead the Musketeers to a second place regular season finish and a spot among the top six best
\ngoalies in the league. While <\/span>the starter duties were shared for most of the season, Jimmy\u2019s play-off experience was best
\nutilized as the post season began. He <\/span>would lead the Musketeers to a three game, quarterfinals sweep of the Lancers, but
\nthe semi-finals saw the Musketeers lose to <\/span>the Tri-City Storm in four games. This would not be the last time that Jimmy would have

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

\nIn addition to scoring both goals in that decisive game; he and teammate Brad Richards would lead all other players with 12 play-<\/span>
\noff goals. In game four he would take a huge hit from Calgary winger Ville Nieminen; making his return to the series questionable.<\/span>
\nFortunately, the Tank is not easily sidelined. After a game off, he would return in game six, notching an assist as the Bolts tied<\/span>
\nup the series at three apiece.\u00a0Ruslan\u00a0would save is best performance for game seven, winning his first of two Stanley Cups.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThird year veteran\u00a0Jimmy Spratt<\/b>\u00a0and rookie\u00a0Jeff\u00a0Zatkoff\u00a0<\/b>would team up to form a\u00a0Goaltending\u00a0crew that would
\ntake the Musketeers <\/span>to game five of the USHL Championship series. This is another Musketeer goaltending duo that
\ncould arguably be considered one of the best in the USHL.
\n<\/span>\"\"\u00a0\"\"
\nThe veteran earned the starter designation but the rookie provided the reliable relief & solid numbers that quickly
\nturned into a regular <\/span>rotation that clicked well for both players. The team would finish ties for second in the Western
\nDivision with a 37-18-6 record.\u00a0 This duo was just warming-up getting ready to that the Musketeer on a lengthy run
\nfor the Clark Cup. Both <\/span>Goalies would finish with a sub-3.00 GAA and Jeff\u00a0 as one of the USHL top five goalies

\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nThree seasoned veteran Jimmy Spratt<\/strong> would assume the starting position and see time in forty-two games. He record finish<\/span>
\nwith a 24-11-3 record and add a pair of shut-outs to this seasons stats. He would record a save percentage of .905; fifth in the<\/span>
\nleague and his goals against average of 2.82 ranked him among eight of this season\u2019s USHL\u2019s top goalies. Jimmy\u2019s experience<\/span>
\nwould carry the Musketeers through series wins over the Lincoln Stars and the Tri-City Storm, on to a final game five of the<\/span>
\nClark Cup Championship against the\u00a0heavially\u00a0favored Anderson Cup Champs from Cedar Rapids.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nthree overtime loses. He would add a shut-out to his record as well as finish among the top five goalies in the league with a<\/span>

\ngoals, including his first goal in his first game and nine assists. He is again projected to be one of the leagues premier players.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/b>Returning veteran Tim Kennedy<\/strong> delivers exactly as promised. He records a team leading twenty-nine goals and

\nthat could still help put points on the board. Over the next three seasons fans across the league will find out that he may be
\nsmall-<\/span>but he plays big!!! He was all about the team and came to play every day. Blake would spend the next three

*********************************************USHL Play-Offs**********************************************<\/span>
\n<\/b>Cedar Rapids and Omaha share the Anderson Cup honors this season each finishing with 89 regular season points. Obviously, post-season<\/span>
\nfavorites in their divisions, the Musketeers and Lincoln Stars have good odds to bid a serious run at the Clark Cup as well.<\/span>
\n
\nMusketeers vs. Lincoln Stars<\/span><\/b><\/span>
\nRound 1 \/ Quarter Finals<\/span>
\nThe opening round finds the western divisions\u2019 two best team doing battle for a chance to advance to the next round. Lincoln and Sioux<\/span>
\nCity finished the season with identical records making for a series that could go either way. Game one opens with a win on visitors ice<\/span>
\nfor 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<\/span>
\nthird period.<\/span>
\nGame two\u2019s domination by the Musketeers was delayed a period while both goalies stayed perfect, however a pair of goals by<\/span>
\nPeter\u00a0Lenes\u00a0and another by Brian Bales put the Musketeers ahead after two periods and goals in the third by Steven Kampfer and<\/span>
\nBlake Martin sealed the deal 5-2. The following night\u00a0 saw the Musketeers collapse on the Stars ice, surrendering nine goals and giving<\/span>
\nthe 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<\/span>
\nKent Bostrom\u2019s game winner and Brian Bales\u2019 insurance goals would give the Musketeers the series win 4 games to one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Musketeers vs.\u00a0<\/b>Tri-City Storm<\/b><\/span>
\nRound 2 \/ Semi Finals<\/span>
\nThe Musketeers elimination of the Stars coupled with surprise upset of the League\u2019s Co-Champions, the Omaha Lancers, by the<\/span>
\nTri-City Storm, sets the table for what most think will be a Sioux City\/Cedar Rapids showdown. Game one turns into a romp for<\/span>
\nthe Musketeers. Five different Musketeers scored six goals and Jimmy Spratt stopped all 31 shots on goal. In game two, both teams<\/span>
\nexchanged goals each period taking the game to overtime, however, a Tri-City goal evens the series at one apiece.<\/span><\/p>\n

Returning to Tri-City, Tim Kennedy, Brian Bales, Dennis McCauley and Kent Bostrom get the Musketeers up by three after two<\/span>
\nperiods 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<\/span>
\na pair of goals and Travis Turnbull put the icing on the cake wrapping up the series 4 games to one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Musketeers vs. Cedar Rapids Rough Riders<\/b><\/span>
\nRound 3 \/ Championship<\/span>
\nCedar Rapids jumps to a series opening win as the Musketeers give-up five goals and can\u2019t solve goaltender Alex\u00a0Stalock. Game two is a<\/span>
\ndefensive duel; goals by Josh Meyers and Tim Kennedy give the Musketeers a much needed win as they head back to friendly ice.<\/span><\/p>\n

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<\/span>
\nthe second give the Musketeers the lead going into the final period. The \u2018Riders get a final period tally and send the game to overtime. The<\/span>
\nfirst overtime stays scoreless but just seconds into the seconds overtime Cedar Rapids breaks the deadlock and giving them a 4-3 win and<\/span>
\ntieing the series 2-2.<\/span><\/p>\n

3400 fans pack the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena to see the final winner take all game. With each team winning on the other\u2019s ice, this game<\/span>
\ncould go either way. Unfortunately, the travel and the season grind catches the Musketeers first and they give-up the first four goals of the<\/span>
\ngame and Joe Charlebois\u2019 goal in the third is just a token. Cedar Rapids closes the series 3 games to 2 and wins their first<\/span>
\never Clark Cup Championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

University Notre Dame Fighting Irish<\/span>
\n<\/b>Letter of Intent Signing<\/span>
\nHaving completed his best season so far, and with three solid USHL seasons behind, Chris would get the attention of
\nNotre Dame <\/span>and sign on to play for the Fighting Irish.<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nChris would see significant playing time right away; playing in twenty-one games as a freshman and twenty-four his
\nsophomore year. <\/span>His junior season was his best, playing in 38 games, scoring nine goals and seven assists, on his way
\nto helping the Irish win their <\/span>second\u00a0CCHA\u00a0Championship in three seasons.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nRyan Hohl<\/b>\u00a0would play three USHL seasons in three different cities. His first two stops were in St. Louis playing for
\nthe Heartland <\/span>Eagles where he lead the team in penalty minutes with 132 and the following season in Lincoln playing for
\nthe Stars where he was a <\/span>distant second with 246 minutes in the box. Ryan would also notch his first goal that second
\nseason on January 11th when the Stars <\/span>beat the Sioux Falls Stampede<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/b>When Ryan joined the Musketeers, most though it would be more of the same. However, that wasn\u2019t quite the case. Ryan<\/span>
\nstill 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<\/span>
\nhurt sitting in your seat. He was defiantly one of the toughest guys in the League and had proved it many times\u2026<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nHowever, he also started to find the net more often and passed to those who also knew where it was. He would record
\nseventeen <\/span>goals and add another\u00a0nineteen assists; his thirty-six regular season points was fourth best among Musketeers
\nscorers and his <\/span>seventeen goals second highest among those same scorers. His toughness and his ability to justify it with

\ngames 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<\/span>
\nGamblers. Scoring only nine points that first season, many a fan, player and coach would vastly underestimate Phil\u2019s potential.<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nReturning veteran\u00a0Phil DeSimone<\/b>\u00a0would see a huge explosion in scoring success. His fourteen goals, team leading
\nthirty-one <\/span>assists and forty-five points secured his first, of two consecutive seasons, as the Musketeers leading scorer.
\nHe would be selected <\/span>as one of the team\u2019s Alternate Captains. Phil\u2019s explosive second season really sets the table for
\nwhat will become an outstanding <\/span>three-season USHL career. The last season would be loaded with success\u2019s including
\nMusketeer and League honors including <\/span>All-Star Team<\/strong> selections, Most Valuable Player<\/strong> and Player of the Year<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jerry Kuhn<\/b><\/span>
\nMusketeers 2005-07<\/span>
\nLast season, the rookie net minder would grab the starting position and survive an onslaught of goalies who wanted his position.<\/span>
\nIt took almost half a season before the Musketeers could settle on a reliable\u00a0Goaltending\u00a0duo in Jerry and Beau Erickson..<\/span>

\nhighs; including twenty-seven wins, a .921 save percentage and 1476 total saves. His 2.67 goals against average if fifth best<\/span>
\namong his fellow backstops. In the play-offs, he would earn another shut-out; stopping all thirty-seven Tri-City shots in game<\/span>
\none. The series would go seven games, but four one-goal losses to the Storm, would be the end of the season for the Musketeers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nJosh Robinson:<\/b>\u00a0Joining the team as a rookie this season Josh would still find time to play in eighteen games where he posted a<\/span>
\nrecord of\u00a0 7-2-2. He would record his first three victories on his first three outings; the first on October 28th against the Indiana<\/span>
\nIce and get his first shut-out on March 25th when he stopped all thirty-seven Lincoln shots on goal. His learned experience<\/span>

\nDes Moines and becoming the\u00a0Buc\u00a0Bowl in 1990. Today, the\u00a0USHL Fall Classic<\/b>\u00a0as it is known, is one of the most heavily scouted hockey<\/span>
\nevents in North America.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also receiving the\u00a0USHL Distinguished Service Award<\/b>\u00a0in 2008 was long-time referee\u00a0Scott Brand<\/b>. While not from Sioux City,<\/span>
\nhe lot of time here, reffing on USHL ice and sleeping on\u00a0Swany\u2018s couch. He became a fan favorite across the League and nobody<\/span>
\npersonified the USHL more than Scott Brand. This season would be his 25th in the USHL eventually serving for twenty-nine seasons.<\/span><\/p>\n

Starting as an on-ice official in 1984, Scott would become one of the most popular and, eventually becoming one of the League\u2019s<\/span>
\nlegendary Officials. He would serve as the\u00a0USHL Referee in Chief\u00a0<\/b>on two occasions from 1990-94 and again in 1998-2012 where<\/span>
\nhe was also the\u00a0USHL\u2019s Director of Hockey Operations,\u00a0<\/b>while serving in this position he would institute the creation of the<\/span>
\nUSA Hockey Junior Officials Development Program<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jim\u00a0Kronschnabel<\/b>\u00a0was the 2008 recipient of the USHL\u2019s\u00a0Dave Tyler Executive of the Year Award<\/b>. The prior season the League<\/span>
\ncreated this new award to honoring Mr. Tyler\u2019 years of leadership and dedication to the USHL and Junior hockey throughout the<\/span>
\nUnited 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<\/span>
\n2002-2010 Jim brought on changes to the Musketeers that would no doubt extend the excitement and tenure of junior hockey in<\/span>
\nSioux City for another ten years. Events like the USHL Fall Classic, the USHL All-Star Game, the arrival of the Stanley Cup in Sioux<\/span>
\nCity, on two occasions, acquisition of first class facilities, staff and players as well as a total dedication to the local Musketeer faithful.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe traditional USHL pre-season tournament held annually in Des Moines gets a\u00a0first-class upgrade,<\/em>\u00a0moving back to its<\/span>
\noriginal home after seventeen years in the Capitol City. Musketeers Owner\u00a0Jim\u00a0Kronschnabel\u00a0<\/strong>transforms the worn-out<\/span>
\ntournament into an epic three-day event including a skills competition, player banquet, street parties and participation<\/span>
\nof all twelve USHL teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

Originally started in Sioux City, the pre-season tournament concept was introduced by then Head Coach\u00a0Bob Ferguson<\/strong>\u00a0and<\/span>
\nchristened the Corn Bowl.\u00a0 In 1990 when Bob moved to Des Moines, the tournament went with him, where the\u00a0Buc\u00a0Bowl<\/span>
\nbecame a seventeen year USHL tradition. That would change in 2007 when\u00a0Kronschnabel\u00a0and his Staff offer up a pair of<\/span>
\nfirst class playing venues and a list of proposed events that would give a county fait board a run for their money.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nswells to sixteen teams. Hundreds of\u00a0 NHL, College, Junior, Semi-pro and European coaches, general managers and scouts,<\/span>
\nmake\u00a0The Classic<\/em>\u00a0most scouted hockey event in the world. For the next six seasons, this would become the USHL\u2019s signature<\/span>

\nRight:<\/b> Brothers Justin and Drew Daniels stake out the front of the Lancers net. Drew would grab the game winner in
\nthe third and Justin would record <\/span>pair of assists in this 3-2 victory over the Lancers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Donnie Hallmark<\/span>
\n<\/b>Musketeers 06-09
\n<\/b>Donnie played four USHL seasons, most of them in Sioux City. However, his USHL path would start in Des Moines for the
\n2005-06 <\/span>season\u00a0 where he won a Clark Cup Championship. He notched a pair of goals, his first coming in a season-opening
\nvictory over the <\/span>Chicago Steel, and two more assists and lead the\u00a0Bucs\u00a0in Penalty minutes with 115. He would also record a
\nplay-off goal and another <\/span>twenty-six minutes in the box.<\/span><\/p>\n

The following season saw a trade move him to the league\u2019s newest team, the Ohio Blue Jackets. He would put up similar
\nnumbers <\/span>in Ohio getting a goal and four assists and a whopping eighty-seven penalty minutes before a mid-season trade
\nmade him a <\/span>Musketeer. Playing in twenty-four Musketeer games in just thirty-three games. A mid-season trade would
\nmove Donnie to Sioux <\/span>City, assuming the same role he would add increase his scoring adding three more goals and
\nfive assists and an impressive eighty <\/span>more minutes in the box in just twenty-four games. His combined total of 167
\nregular season penalty minutes was by far <\/span>the best in the league.<\/span><\/p>\n

Donnie\u2019s third season, and first full one with the Musketeers, saw his game change dramatically; his scoring was up and his<\/span>
\npenalty minute down. Finding the net eleven times and adding fourteen more helpers-he found himself among the top ten<\/span>
\nMusketeer scorers. And while still one of the toughest guys in the league, his time in the box decreased to seventy-five minutes.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0
\n<\/span>Left:<\/b>\u00a0Donnie Hallmark and Matt Ferris battle along the boards. The previous season, Matt Ferris would win the first<\/span>

\nRight:<\/b>\u00a0Donnie Hallmark looks for the loose puck in his feet.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The 2008-09 season, his fourth and final one, would be his best yet. Donnie would elevate his total game focusing on<\/span>
\nhis offensive play and still maximizing his time in the box.\u00a0 He would bring lots of leadership and increased\u00a0offence\u00a0to<\/span>
\nthe table the season, netting eighteen goals and fourteen assists in addition to taking care of the necessary business in<\/span>
\nthe tough guy department.<\/span>
\nHe would finish among the top seven team scorers; his eighteen goals was the third best on the team and his 93 penalty<\/span>
\nminutes second best. He was chosen as one of the Musketeer Captains this season. His gritty style of play made him<\/span>
\na feared competitor and a fan favorite.<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nDonnie Hallmark takes on Robert Shea in this game which saw the Musketeers lose to Green Bay. Friday the 13th,
\ncoupled <\/span>with the traditional New Year\u2019s Eve game, spelled disaster for the Musketeer in this 5-2 loss the the Gamblers.
\nDonnie would <\/span>finish his USHL career with 267 Musketeer penalty minutes and a whopping 496 USHL penalty minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m Sure you Knew\u2026<\/b>Donnie joined the league with a\u00a0Tough Guy<\/i>\u00a0reputation and lived up to it. He would lead the\u00a0Bucs<\/span>
\nhis first season with 115 minutes. During his second USHL season Donnie played for two teams and lead both of them in<\/span>
\naverage penalty minutes per game.\u00a0I bet You Didn\u2019t Know\u2026<\/b>over his final two seasons, he would triple his scoring<\/span>
\nnumbers, netting a total of\u00a0 twenty-nine goals and twenty-eight assists, all while continuing to maintain his implied<\/span>
\nenforcement duties.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tommy\u00a0Olczyk<\/span>
\n<\/b>Musketeers 2007-11<\/span>
\nTommy-O played four USHL seasons for the Musketeers. Over those seasons he would eventually become one of<\/span>
\nthe most popular Musketeers ever. Tommy would record his fist two of five USHL assists in a 4-1 win over the Waterloo<\/span>
\nBlackHawks\u00a0and on March 10th, tally his first USHL goal against the Ohio Blue Jackets.<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0Shown here during his second season is Tommy Olczyk<\/strong> scoring one of his five goals this season in this 4-3 win over
\nthe Cedar Rapids RoughRiders. <\/span>Tommy would also add nine assists for a season total of\u00a0 fourteen points. However, more
\nimportantly, he is turning into one <\/span>of the leaders that will take the Musketeers into the next few seasons.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nTommy will become one of the most popular Musketeers during his time in Sioux City and will eventually remembered as one of<\/span>
\nthe great Musketeer players for his total commitment to the Musketeers organization and the Sioux City community. He will go on<\/span>
\nto collect several\u00a0 Musketeer and USHL awards & honors, culminating\u00a0 with one of the USHL top honor the\u00a0Curt Hammer Award<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\nperiods. Adam\u00a0Janecyk<\/strong>\u00a0stops all ten Steel shots as the Musketeers fire-back with fifteen attempts of their own.<\/span>
\nHowever, but both goalies stay perfect in the third period sending the game to overtime. It doesn\u2019t take long<\/span>

Did You Know\u2026<\/b>long time USHL official Scott\u00a0Zingerman<\/strong>\u00a0worked his first USHL game when he was 14 years old; a
\nmatch-up <\/span>between the Musketeers and the Twin City Twins at the Sioux City Auditorium. Scott had some thirty-five years
\nof officiating in the USHL, three of those seasons he was also the USHL Referee-in-Chief\u00a0 and over the years mentioned a
\nlot of young officials…one of them was me. Thanks, Scott!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Danny\u00a0Wurden<\/b><\/span>
\nMusketeers 2006-10<\/span>
\nDanny was one of the rare USHL players; logging four seasons, let alone all with the same team. Joining the team late into<\/span>
\nthe 2006-07\u00a0season, he would play in the team\u2019s remaining sixteen games notching a goals and an assists. His first red-lighter<\/span>
\non March 31st against the Sioux Falls Stampede.\u00a0retuning\u00a0the following season he would put the biscuit in the basket<\/span>
\nagain and add in eleven assists.<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/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<\/span>
\nof the Musketeers leading\u00a0Defensemen, Danny was well on his way to being one of the team leaders. He would record a pair<\/span>
\nof\u00a0Ginos\u00a0<\/i>and ten helpers as he patrolled the blue line with his size & strength. Never shying away from a challenge, he did<\/span>
\nplay a conservative game, limiting his time in the box and maximizing his time on the ice.
\n<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nSeasoned veteran\u00a0Danny\u00a0Wurden<\/b>\u00a0mixes it up on New Year\u2019s Eve with Omaha Lancer Joe Tolles. Shown here during
\nhis third <\/span>season as a Musketeer, he would record a pair of goals for twelve regular season points. Danny would save his
\nbest for next season-his fourth; <\/span>more than doubling both this points and penalty minutes. Again, his leadership and
\ncompetiveness could be counted on every time he took <\/span>the ice. During his final season he would win the Musketeers
\nBooster Club Scholarship<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Linesman Judson Ritter<\/b> spent three seasons working as a USHL official. He would work both the 2009 and 2010<\/span>

\ngame as a referee with Judson and another veteran official Scott Bokal on the lines. A nerve-racking experience made eventually
\nsuccessful by two great partners!!! Thanks, Guys!!!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\nsecure the starting position and carry much of the scheduled starts. He would play fifty games and earn twenty-one wins and
\nnine ties. Another rookie, back-up\u00a0Willie Yanakeff<\/b>\u00a0 provided solid skills and relief in net. He would see time in a dozen games;

\nout the regular season playing in four games and recording\u00a0 a win, a loss and a tie. The duo would finish the season with

\nrotation with veteran goaltender Matt Skoff. Jake played 21 games for the Musketeers that season and finished with a
\n8-9-1 record and a 2.69 GAA. The following season his reliable numbers and continued solid play resulted in a trade
