Musketeers kick off main camp at IBP Ice Center
Blending a mix of draft picks and tryout players vying for a spot on this season's roster, the first day of Musketeers main camp brought plenty of excitement as four teams took the ice during the session.
Battling alongside a few current Musketeers, Day One gave the staff a lot to evaluate as they work toward molding the final roster.
'We're looking for guys that are competitive hockey players, first and foremost. We really take to heart the blue collar mentality of Sioux City and in our community.,' Musketeers general manager Sean Clark said. 'We want a good, hard working group, first and foremost. I think for us, more than anything, it's really guys that can make plays, possess the puck, find their way to the interior of the ice and create scoring chances,'
'This year, we're trying to add some practices and put the guys in different situations so you can learn about how they process the games and board. I think we're off to a good start, one skate in,' Musketeers head coach Jason Kersner said.
Main camp at the IBP Ice Center ends on Saturday with the all-star festivities.

Chiefs vs. Seahawks: QB Gardner Minshew finds veteran TE Robert Tonyan for TD in Seattle
The Kansas City Chiefs are in the midst of a tight game against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2 of the 2025 NFL preseason. After a slow start that saw the Chiefs down 14-0 in the first quarter of Friday's tilt, Kansas City's offense began to claw its way back as the game approached halftime. Trailing with only ten minutes left in the half, quarterback Gardner Minshew manufactured a near-perfect drive that ended in a touchdown pass to veteran tight end Robert Tonyan in the red zone. Take a look at the connection, which was posted to Twitter by the Chiefs' official account: Despite a close game, Kansas City's defense has staggered against a much-improved Seattle team and will need to rely on its experience to stop quarterback Sam Darnold and company. Stay tuned to see if the reigning AFC champions can recover from last week's loss and head back to western Missouri with a win.

A special win: How the Brewers tied their franchise record with 13 straight victories
CINCINNATI (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers just keep streaking, and now they've matched the franchise record for consecutive wins at 13. The Brewers rallied from seven runs down through two innings Friday night by scoring nine unanswered runs in thumping the Cincinnati Reds 10-8. Milwaukee opened the 1987 season winning the first 13. 'It's just a special win,' said Christian Yelich, who had two homers among four hits driving in five runs. This latest streak in a season in which the Brewers just don't lose very often or bash their way back to one big win after another has them atop all of Major League Baseball with a 77-44 record. That's six better than Toronto, and Milwaukee has opened up a nine-game lead inside the NL Central over Chicago. That success has fed their confidence. Yelich told manager Pat Murphy they were going to win even when trailing 8-1 after two innings. He played with a bat honoring Bob Uecker, the Brewers' former announcer who died in January at the age of 90, down to his signature home run call. Yelich said the Brewers have been in this situation before and always find a way to make it close. 'Just with the way that our team is I knew we weren't going to get our doors blown off,' Yelich said. "You know we're going to find a way to get our way back into that thing. We just got a roomful of fighters and guys who just don't care what the scoreboard says or anything like that.' Uecker, nicknamed Mr. Baseball, broadcast Milwaukee games for over half a century. Murphy said they just have to convince themselves that Uecker is still with them after what he meant to the organization. 'Somehow it seems like he's watching over us,' Murphy said. "I said he's not going to miss a game. Well, he was definitely here tonight. Yelly proved it. Special." Yelich nearly put his bat away after an opening home run only to keep swinging it the rest of the game. He was supposed to use the bat honoring Uecker last year, and Uecker loved the bat when he saw it. Yelich called this kind of a full-circle moment. 'If you know Ueck, you know like crazy things like that are going to happen when he's involved,' Yelich said. 'It just adds to like how special tonight was.' ___ AP MLB:
