\nGrabbing theeighth seed slot. The Des Moines Oak Leafs win the regular season championship losing just three games,
\nincluding a shoot-out loss, all season. Waterloo and Kansas City both win their divisions, posting twenty and

Quarter-Final Game
\n2-Metros vs. Des Moines Oak Leafs-5<\/b><\/span>
\nFebruary 22nd, 2013
\nThe Metros start the tournament facing the league’s best team. The Oak Leafs looked unbeatable most of the season and
\nin the teams two meeting during the regular season saw the Leafs out-score the Metros nine to two. The Leafs would grab
\na pair of goals in the first and second periods, keeping the Metros scoreless until A.J. Boose<\/b>\u00a0finally found the net in
\nthe third.\u00a0 After another Leafs goal,\u00a0\u00a0Sam Bauer<\/b>\u00a0would give the Metros their second goals of the period, however,
\nits not enough to beat the mighty Oak Leafs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semi-Final Game
\n4-Metros vs. Omaha Lancers-3<\/b><\/span>
\nFebruary 23rd, 2013
\nThe Metros meet-up with, the recently up-set, Omaha Lancers in the consolation round. Finishing nine points ahead
\nof the Metros in the west division, the teams did split their regular season meetings with the home team winning
\nboth weekends. A.J. Boose <\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Sam Bauer<\/b>\u00a0would grab first period tallies giving the Metros a one goal lead. It
\nwas more Metros in the second when Bradon Cherkas<\/b>\u00a0put them up by two and\u00a0Brandon Carlson<\/b> up by three.
\nOmaha would mount a rally, but fall short.\u00a0 Goaltender Josh Stoos<\/b> stopped twenty-two Lancer attempts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fifth Place Game
\n3-Metros vs. Lincoln Stars-5<\/b><\/span>
\nFebruary 24th, 2013
\nHaving fell the the Metros the prior weekend, the Lincoln Stars jump out to a two goal lead in the first period. A
\nBraden Cherkas <\/b>goal gets the Metros back in the game but the Stars answer back quickly giving them a two goals
\nadvantage as the first ends. Two more Stars tallies in the second seems to put the game out of reach.\u00a0\u00a0Sam Bauer<\/b>\u00a0and
\nLuke Keeble\u00a0<\/b>would score just sixty-nine seconds apart in the third and look to make the remainder of the game
\ninteresting…but time would run out before the Metros could get that much needed momentum changing goal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/b>Briar Burns<\/b>\u00a0would bring his prior experience to the Sioux City goaltenders convention and grab the initial starting duties
\nfor the Metros. However, sophomore\u00a0Ben Morehead\u00a0<\/b>would also shine during the season and both tenders made a solid duo
\ngiving the coaching staff a reliable starting rotation. Freshman Logan Tejral would take on the junior varsity duties but
\nwould also see some time in several varsity games.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span>Briar Burns<\/b>\u00a0would garner most of the stars this season as the senior saw time in sixteen games. He would post four wins
\nincluding a shut-out against the Dubuque Devils compared to nine losses. He would also see some JV time playing in eight
\ngames surrendering just eleven goals and recording shut-outs against the Des Moines Oak Leafs and Lincoln Stars.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Returning for his second season, sophomore\u00a0Logan Tejral<\/b> would assume split the junior varsity starting duties. Seeing
\ntime in a dozen games he would record eight wins, a pair of regulation losses and a tie. Three of those wins were shut-outs
\nagainst Ames, Lincoln and the Oak Leafs. Surrendering only seventeen goals during the regular season, his 1.54 goals
\nagainst average was one of the top five among JV goaltenders.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also a returning sophomore\u00a0Benny Morehead<\/b>\u00a0would grab time in both JV and Varsity games. He would get the
\nnod a dozen times at the varsity level recording three wins, including a shut-out against the Lincoln Stars, but come
\nup short in five other regular season tilts. Also splitting the JV duties, he played in thirteen games but could only
\nmuster three wins as the JV squad played couldn’t over come seven one-goals losses.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nJunior Jordan Reynolds<\/strong> destroys the previous Metros penalty minutes record of 140 minutes held by Jacob Wilde.
\nAmassing a whopping 183 penalty minutes, Jordan was not afraid of the corners nor afraid to let you know his
\nthoughts. Playing four seasons for the Metros he racked-up some 322 minutes in the box. A record that will probably
\nstand the test of time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Quarter-Final Game
\n3-Metros vs. Des Moines Capitols-4<\/b><\/span>
\nFebruary 27th, 2015
\nThe Metros enter the opening round of the tournament as the seventh seeded team and are matched-up the
\nregular season runners-up the Des Moines Capitols. Skyler Beller<\/strong> and Tanner Frerichs<\/strong> red-lighters keep the
\nMetros within striking distance. A second goal from Skyler \u00a0with just over a minute remaining in the game,
\ngives the Metros hope, but eventually run out of time losing this one goal heartbreaker.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semi-Final Game
\n<\/b><\/span>3-Metros vs. Mason City Mohawks-4<\/b><\/span>
\nFebruary 28th, 2015
\nThe Metros meet up with similar in strength Mason City Mohawks. Like the game before, goals from Tanner Frerichs<\/strong>,
\nSkyler Beller <\/strong>and a short-hander by Trent Harsma<\/strong> keeps the Metros competitive and the game deadlocked after a pair
\nof periods. However, an early Mason City goal three minutes in to the period, changes the momentum and another one
\nfour minutes later puts the game out of reach for the Metros.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Metros start the season with a win over the Oak Leafs and a very close contest the next week with the league
\nleading, and eventually undefeated Des Moines Capitols, however, the Metros have a tough time maintaining the
\nmomentum and finished the season with a 14-12-1-1- record, a third place finish in the west and a 6th place
\nfinish overall.<\/span><\/p>\n

That sixth place finish does qualify them for the League Tournament where the Metros defeat Dubuque in the first round
\nbut fall to the eventual champions Kansas City. In the Consolation game they would defeat a heavily favored Des Moines
\nOak Leafs.\u00a0James Page<\/b> scores two goals in regulation and adds a third in the shootout’s first goal.\u00a0Conner Sands<\/b>\u00a0would

\nin several varsity games. He would garner most of the junior varsity starts finishing with an even record of five wins,
\nsix losses and five ties. His regular season .913 save percentage was eight best in the league. He also saw time in three
\nvarsity games grabbing a win against the Ames Lil’ Cyclones on December 19th. Blake is in position to transition into
\nthe eventual starter as a junior. After watching successful senior and junior goaltenders this season, he should be ready

Skyler Beller\u00a0<\/b><\/span>
\nMetros 2012-16
\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>
\nSkyler Beller<\/b> would finish his third season as a Metro, grabbing the team’s top scoring honors. His thirty-one goals, including
\na pair of game-winners, is tops among Metros scorers. His additional twenty-five assists, also placed him among the League’s top
\nseven scorers with fifty-six points. This is his third consecutive selection to the\u00a0IHSHL All-Star Team<\/strong>. Skyler could boast sixteen
\nmulti point games; half of which he scored three or more points. He was held scoreless only two times during the entire regular season.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/b>
\n<\/b>Skyler Beller<\/strong>\u00a0<\/b>becomes only the fourth Metro player to lead the team in scoring for three consecutive seasons. His freshman season was
\na busy one, playing a full JV schedule and three games shy of a complete varsity season; he netted eighteen JV goals and nine assists
\nand added just one varsity assist. After that…it was off to the races for the three-time varsity leading scorer, recording eighty-four
\ngoals & fifty-six assists. His eighty-four career red-lighters is the second best among all Jr. Musketeer\/Metros players.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nTanner Frerichs <\/b>is\u00a0shown here during his junior season where he would finish the season as the Metros second leading
\nscorer with nineteen goals and twenty-nine assists enough points to also make him one of the League’s top ten scorers. This
\nwould be his second time as a Metro top five scorer and his first appearance in the Metros Heavy Hitter list. Tanner would go

\ntwenty goals, including a pair of game winners, and twenty-one assists his forty-one points was third best among team
\nscorers. He would also be selected as one of the League’s Honorable Mention All-Star<\/strong> Forwards.\u00a0 He could have made
\na run at being a Metro High Scorer for four seasons-but would leave Sioux City and move to Sioux Falls. There he will
\nbe finishing his remaining two high years playing for AAA for the Sioux Falls Stampede.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>
\nJerett Heyl\u00a0<\/b>will be entering his third season as a Metro; and while only a junior, he will take on the leadership role among the
\nyoung Sioux City defense corps. Scoring a goal and adding eleven assists, his twelve points placed him sixth on the scoring list
\nand first among defensemen. He plays a very smart physical game limiting himself to minimal penalty minutes but still maintaining
\nhis reputation as a player who can dish-out the punishing checks. He would be selected to the MHSHL All-Star Team<\/strong> as well as
\nthe Western Division All-League Team<\/strong>. He is also a multi-season MHSHL Academic Achievement Award<\/strong> recipient.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ndraw a tough start for a freshman goalie, as the Metros took on the League dominating Kansas City Jets. Skyler, who
\nwould lead the team in scoring for the third season in a row, just couldn’t get any offence going against the Jets.
\nBlake would face thirty-three shots, from the high scoring Kansas City team that would only lose two games this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n3-Metros vs. Dubuque Devils-2<\/b><\/span>
\nFebruary 26th, 2016
\n<\/i>Sioux City enter the tournament taking on the eastern division’s top team the Dubuque Devils. However, both teams finish with similar
\nrecords and the game is evenly matched.\u00a0 The Metros score the first period’s only goal and the game stays that way until the third period
\nwhen the Metros pull ahead 3-1 on a pair of Skyler Beller goals. With five minutes remaining, the Devils will try to rally scoring\u00a0 twice
\nwith time still remaining in the period. However, Carter Manthorne is able to thwart the extra-man attack and the Metros win 3-2.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semi-final Game
\n0-Metros vs. Kansas City Jets-7<\/b><\/span>
\nFebruary 27, 2016
\nWith two dominate teams this season, any chance of winning the tournament will include a stop in either Des Moines or Kansas City.
\nThe Metros would draw the Jets, the lesser of two evils. The game is no contest at all. the Jets are clearly the better team launching
\nthirty-one shots on goal and finding the net seven times. The Metros couldn’t solve the Kansas City defense and the eventual 7-0 game
\nended right after it started<\/span><\/p>\n

Consolation Game
\n4-Metros vs. Des Moines Oak Leafs-3<\/b><\/span>
\nFebruary 28th, 2016
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Trying to put yesterdays beat down behind them, the Metros prepare to take on the Des Moines Oak Leafs for the
\ntournament’s third place finish. The Leafs would strike first in the first period for an early lead going into the second
\nperiod. However, James Page and Skyler Beller would grab a goal each before the Leafs could tie it up at the end of
\ntwo. The teams alternated red-lighters with the Metros getting the first and third goals of the period and the 4-3
\nwin for third place.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nopening rounds being single elimination. Tournament March 2nd-5th\u00a0 in Ames, IA.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Many people think this could be the Metros year for success in the League Tournament. Returning high scorers
\nTanner Frerichs<\/b>, James Page<\/b>,\u00a0Chase Lewison<\/b>,\u00a0Sam Chadwick<\/b>\u00a0&\u00a0Drake Beller<\/b>\u00a0all can put points in the board; a top
\ndefensive corps with\u00a0Jerett Heyl<\/b>, Logan Visser<\/b>\u00a0&\u00a0Grant Newman<\/b>\u00a0and solid goaltending in\u00a0Carter Manthorne<\/b>\u00a0&
\nBlake Beller<\/b> make a terrific combination for tournament high hopes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Metros start the season looking like one of the teams to beat this season winning ten of their first eleven games of<\/span>
\nthe season. They would\u00a0take three heat breaking losses to teams they should have beat, but still win a majority of the<\/span>
\nremaining games; finishing in fourth place \u00a0with a 19-7-2 regular season record.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Earning the fourth seed in the tournament the Metros would defeat the Des Moines Oak Leafs in the first round. Connor<\/strong>
\n Sand’s<\/strong> two empty net goals iced the game. They would draw the Des Moines Capitols in the second round; stunning
\neveryone in attendance and handing the Caps just their second regulation loss of the season when James Page<\/strong> scored
\nwith 47 seconds remaining in the game. Sioux City entered the championship with high expectations taking on the
\nWaterloo Warriors. However, a successful penalty shot ended the Metros run for a Tournament Championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

Between the Pipes<\/span>
\n<\/b>The Metros are set to start the season with another solid goaltending duo. Returning youngsters; a junior
\nCarter Manthorne<\/b> and freshman\u00a0Blake Beller\u00a0<\/b>are both potential varsity starting goaltenders. Finishing last regular
\nseason around .500 and a third place finish at the tournament this duo would lead the Metros back to the tournament
\nagain this season. Both starters would finish the season among the leagues top ten goalies in goals against and save
\npercentage. Waiting in the wings and learning the ropes under these two experienced goalies is freshman\u00a0Will Stokes<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nDid You Know…<\/b>both Metros goaltender\u00a0Carter Manthorne<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Blake Beller<\/b>\u00a0would finish the season with a varsity five<\/span>
\ngame winning streak. This was only bested by three other goalies in the league this season. Both goalies would finish in the<\/span>
\nwins top ten;\u00a0Blake in the top five with twelve wins and Carter in the top ten with ten wins.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carter Manthorne<\/span>
\n<\/b>Metros 2014-17
\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nCarter Manthorne<\/b>\u00a0will join the Metros for his third season. After a nice showing at the MHSHL Tournament the prior season

\nsuccess this season. Carter would record as 7-3 varsity record. His 2.61 goals against average and his .884 save percentage
\nwere both in the top ten among league’s active goaltenders. He is also a multi-season MHSHL Academic Achievement
\nAward recipient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Blake Beller<\/span>
\n<\/b>Metros 2015-19
\nBlake Beller\u00a0<\/b>is returning for just his second season; the sophomore is the other-half of a goaltending duo expected to expand
\non last season’s successful third place finish in the MHSHL tournament. He would grab a majority of the starts this season

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0Blake Beller<\/strong> would be voted the Metro’s Rookie of the Year\u00a0<\/b>during this first full season of varsity play; he would

Willie Stokes<\/b><\/span>
\nMetros 2016-19
\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>
\nWill Stokes\u00a0<\/b>would take his spot among a very deep goaltending corps this season. The freshman would garner a majority of the
\njunior varsity starts and finish the season with a 7-8 record. He did work his first shut-out as a junior varsity goaltender;\u00a0 a 3-0
\nwin over the Quad City Blues. He will have one more season working a rotation with two very experience goaltenders. This time
\nwill be well spent setting Will up to take on the challenge of earning a starting spot his junior & senior seasons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\u00a0Senior\u00a0Tanner Frerichs<\/b> will lead the way for the Metros putting up sixty-five points; twenty-six goals and thirty-nine

The Metros Junior Varsity would struggle this season failing to put any winning streaks together when they need. They
\nwould finish the season just two points out of the final qualifying slot finishing with 12 wins, 14 losses and a pair of shoot-out
\nlosses that could have made the difference as the season wrapped up.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Tanner Frerichs<\/b><\/span>

Midwest High School Hockey League (MHSHL) Tournament Championship<\/b><\/span>
\nMarch 3rd-5th \/ Ames, IA<\/span><\/p>\n

Quarter-Final Game
\n5-Metros vs. Des Moines Oak Leafs-1<\/b><\/span>
\nMarch 3rd, 2017
\nThe Metros enter the tournament earning the fourth seed in the tournament and drawing the Des Moines Oak Leafs, a team that finished
\njust three points behind the Metros. As expected, it is a evenly matched pairing and one that sees the Metros outplayed and out scored
\nas the first period ends. However, after that…it’s all Sioux City. Drake Beller<\/strong> and Connor Sand<\/strong> each grab a pair of goals and Tanner<\/strong>
\nFrerichs <\/strong>gets the game winner for a 5-1 victory.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semi-Final Game<\/b>
\n<\/i>6-Metros vs. Des Moines Capitols-5<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/i>March 4th, 2017
\nThe win puts the Metros in the semi-finals pitted against the 25-1 regular season champions and seemingly unbeatable Des
\nMoines Capitols. Sioux City jumps on the Caps scoring twice in the opening minute & a half of the game, on Logan Visser<\/strong> and
\nTanner Frerichs<\/strong> red-lighters.\u00a0<\/span> Des Moines answers twice, but Chase Lewison<\/strong> and Brake Beller<\/strong> put Sioux City up by two as the
\nfirst period ends. It’s all Caps in the second as they tie the contest at four goals apiece. The Metros, again, stun the Caps with a
\nConnor Sand<\/strong> goal in the first minute of the period, and it takes the Caps most of the period to even the score. As time winds
\ndown and the Capitols killing a major penalty, the Metros pull the goalie and with just over a minute to go, James Page
\n<\/strong> buries the game winner, for the tournament’s most surprising upset of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Championship Game
\n1-Metros vs. Waterloo Warriors-2<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/i>March 5th, 2017
\nBoth teams enter the championship game with second round upsets and brimming with confidence. Both teams have similar records
\nbut the Metros have the mental edge having beat the Warriors both time at the start of the season. The game remains deadlocked
\nduring until six minutes into the second when Reece McDonald<\/strong> put the Metros on the board. Waterloo answers back with just
\nover four minutes remaining in the second. The game remains tied through the third and Sioux City gets a chance to win it when a
\nWaterloo penalty puts the Metros on the power play with less than just two minutes remaining. However, an errant pass,
\na lucky bounce and a trip from behind, give Waterloo a successful penalty shot opportunity, winning the game 2-1.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quarter-Final Game<\/span>
\n2-Metros vs. Waterloo Warriors-1 (2OT)<\/span><\/b>
\nMarch 2nd, 2018
\nThe Metros return to the Tournament as the the number one seeded team, drawing a rematch of last year’s championship
\nduel with the Waterloo Warriors. Just like last year’s game, a single goal would determine the outcome. In a defensive duel,
\nboth teams could only muster a single goal.\u00a0\u00a0Drake Beller<\/b>\u00a0with a tally in the second period and a third period Waterloo shot
\ngot past Blake Beller just at the halfway point of the final period. The game remained knotted as regulation ended and it
\nwould take two extra periods before\u00a0Conor Sand<\/b> found the net and sent the Metros to the quarter finals with a 2-1 victory.
\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nDrake Beller<\/b>\u00a0takes a pass from James page on a Grant Newman break-out and beats the Waterloo goaltender; tieing

\nwas the Metros who played spoiler to the Caps, as they derailed the one-loss regular season champions and tournament
\nfavorites 6-5. Like Friday’s game, it was another defensive struggle, this time neither team could light the lamp. The Metros
\nlaunched forty shots on goal and\u00a0Blake Beller<\/b> stopped twenty-six attempts, before…
\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\n…Walt Werden’s<\/b>\u00a0shot from the point, whizzes past the Capitols goaltender-sending the Metros to the tournament finals for

\nMarch 4th, 2018
\nThe Metros would meet up with fourth seed Mason City; one of only three teams that could muster wins against the Metros
\nduring the regular season. This game would provide more offence than the previous two games and the Metros would have to
\ncall on some different scorers this time. With Mason City able to contain Sioux City’s high scorers, it was sophomore Tanner
\nFrerichs<\/b>\u00a0who put the Metros on the board first, Senior grinder\u00a0Chase Lewison<\/b>\u00a0gets the game winner and junior\u00a0Reece
\nMcDonald<\/b>\u00a0scores twice, giving the Metros their first Tournament\u00a0Championship in fifteen seasons.

\nand puts the Metros up by three goals. Reece would go on to finish the game with a pair of goals and an assist for a
\nthree point championship game outing.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Metros start the season and are again expected to be one of the top teams in the League. Reece McDonald,<\/strong>
\nTaylor Frerichs, Max Beller<\/strong> will provide the firepower and goaltender Blake Beller<\/strong> will protect the net. As the season
\nprogressed, it looked to be a battle between Waterloo and Sioux City for the regular season championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two teams meet in December with each grabbing a win, further building the anticipation of another meeting during<\/span>
\nthe final tournament. However, Waterloo looks unstoppable for the remainder of the season and the Metros lose a pair<\/span>
\nof\u00a0 heartbreakers to Freemont & Kansas City and leave three overtime losses on the table; nixing their chances at a<\/span>
\nrepeat regular season championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the post season tournament gets underway everyone is looking to the assumed championship game match-up between
