‘Our work is before our skill' – Musketeers attribute five-game win streak to practice performance
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) – The Sioux City Musketeers are on the cusp of an important three home game in three day stretch with the chance to secure home ice for the first round of the USHL Clark Cup Playoffs. Sioux City, who has already locked up a Western Conference playoff spot, enters the weekend on a five-game win streak. The Musketeers have scored five or more goals in each of its last wins and boast one of the hottest players in the league in Giacomo Martino, who is tied for the most points in the USHL. He's tallied 14 points in his last six games. Sioux City is far from content with earning a playoff spot, with the Musketeers aiming to earn home ice in the opening round as the team feels its work in practice has translated to recent success. 'We're practicing like we are playing, and we've been dialing in our game at practice. It's leaned into our on-ice performance. Our work is before our skill. We're working hard, getting pucks, and letting the skill do the working,' Musketeers defenseman Liam Hupka said. 'We're generally playing on the weekends. So, we have Monday through Thursday to get your house in order to prepare to play well on the weekends,' Musketeers head coach Jason Kersner added. 'This five-game stretch, we started hot, and we had a really good stretch in January…there's no doubt that how we've gone about our business Monday through Thursday has made a significant impact on how we play on the weekend.' 'We're trying to keep momentum and we don't want to take our foot off the gas at all,' Musketeers defenseman Landon Nycz mentioned. Sioux City will face three different opponents in three consecutive games, kicking off the slate tonight at 7:05 p.m. against Dubuque. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
