This photo appeared in the Sioux City journal promoting the start of the 75-76
youth hockey season. In just four seasons, the newly
formed Siouxland Youth Hockey Association (SYHA) has grown from 50 original
skaters to 165 youth players ranging from Mites
to High School. Bryan & Brent Hartman and Clayton Wiffen would all go on to play
for the Sioux City Musketeers (USHL)
Did You know...
That for the first 4 years of Sioux City hockey we didn't have a Zamboni!!!
Left: An Auditorium staff member
preparing the edges by hand. No gas edger yet!!! Right: Staff
members shovel away all the snow
from the ice. As tradition, this was done at the start of every game and between
every period.
Two hot water carts sponsored by the Black
Knight, a men's clothing store located in Sioux City and owned by then team
owner
Gary Lipschutz, provided the hot water that prepared the ice for the next
period. Note: Notice the fence in place of glass.
2011
Inaugural
Sioux
City Musketeers
Billy Danderand Cup
Held in
honor of long time Sioux City Musketeer trainer & equipment manager Billy Danderand.
A native of Jefferson, S.D., Billy has been part of the
Musketeer organization for 40 seasons!!! He joined the team during the
Musketeers first season in USHL Senior League in 1972. Billy has been a
long time
friend and supporter of SYHA & Metro hockey. He also served the same duties with
International Softball Congress's powerhouse teams Penn Corps &
National Health Care.
This
trophy is awarded to the winning team of the annual Musketeer's All-Star
Summer Camp Green vs. Gold try-out game.
T.J. Reinsch Youth Hockey Foundation
In June of 2010, many of us hockey players lost a good
friend!!! T.J. Reinsch was one of hockey's good guys!!! He was a SYHA and Metro
player for
ten seasons and capped his high school career with a state championship for the
Metros. After playing at the USHL and College levels, T.J. was not done giving
to
the hockey world. He moved to Sioux Falls where he became instrumental in the
re-building and the current success of the Sioux Falls Flyers youth hockey
program.
He was indeed a great player, great coach and above all a great friend!!!
Dr.
Steven Noel Memorial
In 2007 Siouxland Youth Hockey lost a terrific supporter of youth hockey and
just an all round terrific guy!!! At the time, Steve and
his wife had three youth hockey players in the program. The Metros honored Steve
by wearing the below helmet stickers for the remaining two
years of their oldest son's high school seasons.
The hope of the Stephen H. Noel Memorial Fund is
to commemorate these qualities of Steve by inspiring and assisting
young people to pursue a career in medicine.
