The Sioux City Musketeers Hockey Team has a strong desire to assist in promoting the importance of reading and education. We like to be involved in the community! The future of Siouxland rests on the young people of today and there needs to be a conscious effort to promote reading, specifically and education in general.

The young men on our team are 16-20 years old and have a strong desire to get to the college level. Without an education they would not be able to achieve that goal. These young men are extraordinary and have the power to impact the children in the Siouxland area.

The Musketeers’ organization hopes that you will invite us to your school to help reinforce the importance of an education as well as where it can lead you. The Musketeers are prime examples of this philosophy. The boys on our team are 16-20 years old; all of our players have a strong desire to get to the college level and without a high school education that could not be accomplished.

One lucky student gets to put on hockey gear!

These young men have the power to impact and direct the children of the Siouxland area in a positive way.
