| Feb 25 Rush Hour Connect - Sioux City Musketeers |
 
The Sioux City Musketeers and Tyson Events Center / Fleet Farm Arena are looking forward to hosting February's Rush Hour Connect on Thursday, February 25th at the Tyson Events Center. There will be plenty of heavy appetizers to check your hunger along with complimentary beverages and a cash bar to slash your thirst while the Muskies players practice live during the event with Head Coach Luke Strand mic'd up during practice so you can hear every word. The video scoreboard will be active to provide a true behind the scenes look.
They will have two game-used, autographed sticks, 3 Servpro Party Zone tickets (table for 2 against the glass) that will be given away. BUT, to win them you'll have to put the puck past Chris McGowan who will be between the pipes playing goalie. Don't worry, the pucks will be foam so no harm comes to Chris during this epic Rush Hour Connect. See you there!
Rush Hour Connect is your fastest meeting of the day giving you a chance to gear down and have fun. Come for 15 minutes or stay for an hour and make some great connections!
