\nTravis Shoemaker<\/span><\/b>
\nMetros 1999-02
\nTravis <\/b>would begin this senior year as the Metros starting goaltender. After two seasons of leadership from

Ryan McClennen<\/span>
\n<\/b>Metros 2000-03
\nRyan <\/b>joins the Metros for the second of three seasons as a Metro. The junior is part of an experienced goaltending
\nstaff that saw all three splitting time between the varsity and junior varsity schedule.
\n\u00a0\u00a0
\nRyan McClennen<\/strong> would record a pair of victories at the varsity level, earning a save percentage of .887. He would

\nAndy Vogt<\/b>, while not an\u00a0official\u00a0<\/i>Captain, often carried the mail from the bench to the ice. His great hockey knowledge
\nand his enjoyment of the game made him a terrific go-between. However, on occasion we could disagree. Here, Andy and
\nI have a heated discussion, while coach Landon Blatchford<\/strong> feeds him his lines. In the end though, me and Andy remains
\nbuds and he skates away knowing, I was probably right again. On the other hand…I’m not so sure about Landon.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nFinishing in the middle of the regular season pack, the Metros\u00a0are paired up against their similar in strength and record, the
\nDes Moines Oak Leafs. The Metros twenty wins and forty points was just two shy of the fourth seeded Oak Leafs. However,
\nthe Metros like their chances having beaten the Leafs in all three meetings this season out-scoring them twelve goals to four;
\nincluding a four-nothing shut-out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quarter-Final Game
\n3-Metros vs. Des Moines Oak Leafs-1<\/b><\/span>
\nMarch 1st, 2002
\nThis meeting is the fourth this season between the two teams. The Leafs that strike first in this game; they fire just seven shots
\non goal; one of them finds the back of the net for a first period lead. However, in the second period\u00a0Kyle Rogers<\/b>\u00a0will tie the
\ngame and\u00a0Alex Lukehart<\/b>\u00a0would get the game-winner for the Metros.\u00a0Kyle Rogers<\/b>\u00a0would grab his second goal of the
\ngame with just under five minutes into the final period.\u00a0 Goaltender\u00a0Beau Erickson<\/b>\u00a0stops\u00a0all but on of the Leafs
\nthirty-two shots on goal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semi-Final Game
\n0-Metros vs. Omaha Lancers-1 3OT<\/b><\/span>
\nMarch 2nd, 2002
\nRound two is going to be tough as the Metros meet the regular season champions from Omaha. The Lancers are fresh off
\na dominating campaign that saw them lose just a single game all season and finish thirteen points ahead of the runner-up. On
\npaper this one looks to be all Omaha, but by the time three periods has ended the game remained deadlocked with neither
\nteam able to find the net. It takes nearly another whole game before Omaha scores; sending the Metros to the
\nconsolation game. Goaltender\u00a0Beau Erickson<\/b>\u00a0stops all but one of the forty-six attempts including all
\ntwenty-seven in the opening two periods.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n2-Metros vs. Mason City Mohawks-3<\/b><\/span>
\nMarch 3rd, 2002
\nAfter that disappointing and draining loss on Saturday to the league’s best team, the Metros look to rebound as they take on
\nthe league’s second best team from Mason City. The Mohawks grab a goal each in the first and second periods giving them
\na two score cushion going into the final period.\u00a0\u00a0Kyle Jacobson<\/b> would cut the lead in half, just past the period’s mid-way
\npoint. Jack Brooks<\/b> would again give the Metros hope with his power play tally, with ninety seconds remaining in the
\ngame. Unfortunately, the Metros can’t muster that much needed tieing\u00a0goal and contently take the fourth place honors.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>March 8th-10th \/ Metro Ice Sports Arena Des Moines, IA
\nThe Metros pair-up with the Omaha Jr. Lancers; just a single point separated them during the regular season with both
\nteams getting twenty-wins. Both teams have a IHSHL top ten scorer; Metros\u00a0Alex Lukehart<\/b>\u00a0in second and the Lancers
\nJacob Braun in ninth place. They also boast the league’s third best goaltender. Both teams would trade goals on Metros
\ntallies from\u00a0Steve Babe<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Jon Soole<\/b>. With just over two minutes remaining in the second overtime,\u00a0Darren Rife
\n<\/b>would end the stalemate and send the Metros to the next round.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Metros would generate just a single goal by\u00a0Alex Lukehart<\/b>\u00a0falling too the regular season champs and eventual<\/span>
\ntournament winners the Des Moines Capitols. The Metros would get another chance at Des Moines, this time it’s the<\/span>
\nOak Leafs; having finished just a point ahead of the Metros.\u00a0Jon Soole<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Jack Brooks\u00a0<\/b>would keep the game even<\/span>
\nand\u00a0Darin Rife\u00a0<\/b>get the game winner with just five minutes left in the game. Winning goaltender\u00a0Ryan McClennen<\/b><\/span>

Quarter-Final Game
\n10-Metros vs. Waterloo Warriors-7<\/b><\/span>
\nFebruary 28th, 2003
\nThe Metros are in for a challenge as they square-off against the Waterloo Warriors. The opening day would pit both of the
\nLeague’s middle ranked teams against each other. Fourth seeded Waterloo would finish the\u00a0season with three more wins
\nthan the Metros, but four overtime losses kept the point race close with the Metros finishing with 40 points, two shy of
\nthe Warriors. The game looks to be a good one…and it does not disappoint!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

The tournament hosts jumped all over the Metros scoring two goals in the first three minutes, however\u00a0Aaron Limoges<\/b><\/span>
\nand\u00a0Kevin Lohry<\/b>\u00a0would keep the game close with the Warriors on top after the first period 3-2.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second period brought on a furry of red-lighters with Waterloo scoring first and upping the lead to 4-2. However, Sioux<\/span>
\nCity wasn’t\u00a0going that easy and they answer back with three straight goals, one form\u00a0Alex Lukehart<\/b>\u00a0and a pair from\u00a0Cody
\nMuir<\/b>. Waterloo\u00a0ties the game, but youngster\u00a0Kevin Lohry<\/b>\u00a0adds two more goals for the Hat Trick and the second period<\/span>
\nends with the Metros on top 7-5.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nhalfway\u00a0through the third. Waterloo tries to rally scoring a pair of goals; but with nearly three minutes left remaining,\u00a0Alex
\nLukehart<\/b>\u00a0lets the air out\u00a0of the Warriors tires, giving Sioux City a 10-7 opening round victory.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semi-Final Game<\/span>
\n6-Metros vs. Mason City Mohawks-4<\/span>
\n<\/b>March 1st
\nThe Metros meet up in the second round with regular season champions and seemingly unbeatablen tournament favorites
\nfrom Mason City. Having dominated the League this season, the Mohawks lost just a single game in regulation and finished
\nwith thirty-one victories. However, the tournament favorites are seriously challenge in the opening round by Lincoln, and
\nit takes the Mohawks an extra period to dispatch the last place Stars.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 The Tournament favorites quickly jump all over the Metros; giving up a goal just 26 seconds into the period and then a couple
\nminutes later putting the Mohawks up by two.\u00a0Sammy Schweigert<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Kevin Lohry<\/b>\u00a0will help the Metros climb back in the

The Mohawks strike first again, scoring before the first minute of the period passed.\u00a0Kevin Lohry<\/b>\u00a0would retaliate minutes<\/span>

\nremainder of the period and the second ends with the Metros still behind 4-3.<\/span><\/p>\n

This period its the Metros who score first, catching the Mohawks flat-footed\u00a0Kevin Lohry<\/b>\u00a0lights the lamp five minutes<\/span>
\ninto the period; tieing the game at four goals apiece. Two Minutes later, Jack Brooks<\/b>\u00a0gives the Metros the lead and<\/span>

Championship Game<\/span>
\n5-Metros vs. Des Monies Oak Leafs-4\u00a0\u00a0 3OT<\/span>
\n<\/b>March 2nd
\nThis season’s championship features two sleeper teams; the fifth seeded Metros and the sixth seeded Des Moines Oak Leafs. Both
\nteams are fresh off top seed upsets, with the Metros beating Mason City and the Leafs defeating cross-town rivals the Capitols.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the third game in a row, the Metros spot their opponents a two goal lead and the Leafs end the first period up by two.
\nThe second period begins with the Metros surprising the Leafs with a pair of quick pair goals from\u00a0Alex Lukehart<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Chase
\nKitchen<\/b> and suddenly the game is tied. Sioux City continues the attack, with a go-ahead-goal from\u00a0Sammy Schweigert<\/b>. The
\nLeafs counter with another goal of their own, but a minute later\u00a0Daniel Limoges<\/b>\u00a0puts the Metros back on top as the
\nsecond period ends.<\/span><\/p>\n

The remaining periods are a flurry of fast breaks, great shots and terrific saves as the League’s two hottest goalies do battle.<\/span>
\nWith the exception of a tieing Oak Leaf goal seven & a half minutes into the third period, both goalies will remain flawless for<\/span>
\nnearly 48 minutes. However, just 29 seconds into the third overtime<\/strong>, Sioux City’s Kevin Lohry<\/b>\u00a0tips in an\u00a0Aaron Limoges<\/b><\/span>
\nshot on goal and the Metros are the 2003 IHSHL Champions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ntougher than the last two, in which the Metros easily outscored their opponents.
\n<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0This championship game would take three over-time periods, before Kevin Lohry<\/strong> would redirect a pass from Aaron Limoges
\n<\/strong><\/span>giving the Metros their sixth IHSHL State Tournament win.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nforty-seven attempts, the Metros can’t light the light. They couldn’t cash-in on a pair of Leaf penalties in the second

\nJohnny Adam<\/b>\u00a0played there seasons a a Metro. Shown here as a junior, he lit the lamp six times and helped on eight other goals but
\nhis biggest contribution was that of leadership. He came to play every game & used his size and strength to open up the ice for his
\nteam mates. The following season as a senior, he would score eight goals and add sixteen assists and finish as a Metros top three
\nscorer. Most notably would be his 114 penalty minutes, a Metros record that stood for exactly one season. Johnny would go on to
\nplay football\u00a0 four seasons in the GPAC for the Northwestern College Red Raiders<\/span><\/p>\n

\nseason with a 13-20-3 record grabbing the eighth and final play-off spot. All five of the Metros goalies spend time in the
\njunior varsity net with\u00a0Alex Wankum<\/b>\u00a0logging the most time with a 5-12 record and\u00a0Justin Decker<\/b>\u00a0finishing with

\nThe Metros wallow at the button of the MHSHL for much of the season. However, they catch fire; winning nine of their remaining
\nten games and grabbing the eighth and final tournament slot. The Des Moines Oak leafs win the regular season; losing just a pair
\nof regulation games this season and they are definitely the tournament favorites.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quarter-Final Game
\n1-Metros vs. Des Moines Oak Leafs-10<\/b><\/span>
\nFebruary 29th, 2008
\nFinishing in eighth place has its consequences and its usually having to play the league champions. Just under two minutes into
\nthe game,\u00a0Ryan Thorsland<\/b>\u00a0stuns the favorites, when\u00a0 he beats the Leafs goaltender on assists from\u00a0Justin Thiele<\/b>\u00a0and
\nKyle Lierman<\/b>. The tournament’s first up-set in on…not!!! Des Moines proceeds to score the next ten unanswered
\ngoals; four in the first,\u00a0two in the second and four more in the third.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Semi-Final Game
\n4-Metros vs. Des Moines Capitols-3 2 SO<\/b><\/span>
\nMarch 1st, 2008
\nDrawing another Des Moines team, this time it the equally dangerous Capitols. Sioux City grabs a goal in each period on tallies
\nby\u00a0Jacob Wilde<\/b>,\u00a0Ryan Thorsland<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0B.J. Jackson<\/b>.\u00a0<\/b>Goaltender\u00a0Lee Noel\u00a0<\/b>stops twenty-two of the Capitols attempted shots.
\nThe game remains ties after three periods and heads to a shoot-out. As the ninth shooter,\u00a0Zach Hagaman<\/b>\u00a0finds the back of the
\nnet giving the Metros a much needed win.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fifth Place Game
\n0-Metros vs. Mason City-5<\/b><\/span>
\nMarch 2nd, 2008
\nThe Metros third foe of the weekend is Mason City. Finishing just ahead of the Metros during the regular season, the Mohawks
\namassed seven more wins this season than the Metros. In a game that could go either way on paper…didn’t. The Mohawks
\nwould\u00a0 record five unanswered goals on the weary Metros, handing them a sixth place finish; their best tournament
\nfinish in the last three seasons.<\/span><\/p>\n
