Since leading returning scorer and captain Trevor Olson has been out with an injury, it has been up to forwards Jared Thomas, Kyle Schmidt, Jake Montgomery and Nikolas Olsson to produce offense. Thomas and newcomer Brandon Hawkins have the only two goals for the Muskies. An experienced defensive core includes Ryan Mantha, Blake Heinrich, and Neal Pionk, while the goaltending duo of Kyle Hayton and Connor Girard includes over 70 games of USHL experience. The Storm and Musketeers split their eight contests last season, each team winning four games. Friday night will be the first of six meetings between the two during the 2013-14 campaign. Johansson Shines In Opening Night Win Swedish goaltender Jacob Johansson didn’t disappoint in his first game for the Tri-City Storm, making 37 saves and coming up big late in the contest, a 2-1 shootout win at the Viaero Event Center on Saturday night. Newcomers Robbie Payne and Chris Wilkie scored for the Storm in the shootout, sending the Kearney fans home happy with a win in their first game of the season. Chase Berger also tallied his first USHL goal in the second period, which tied the game and served as the first Storm goal of the 2013-14 season. 2013-14 USHL Western Conference Standings TEAM OVR Win % PTS Sioux Falls Stampede Omaha Lancers Tri-City Storm Waterloo Black Hawks Fargo Force Lincoln Stars Sioux City Musketeers 3-0-0 2-0-0 1-0-0 1-1-0 1-1-0 0-1-1 0-2-0 1.000 1.000 1.000 .500 .500 .250 .000 6 4 2 2 2 1 0 Des Moines Buccaneers 0-2-0 .000 0 TRI-CITY STORM HOCKEY STORM IN BRIEF Season Opening Homestand The Storm begin their season with six of their first seven contests at the friendly confines of the Viaero Event Center. The homestand will keep the team in their own beds without any overnight travel until the end of October. After defeating Lincoln at home on opening night, the Storm have just one road game at Des Moines on Oct. 5 before a four-game stretch in Kearney where they’ll face Iowa foes Sioux City, Waterloo, Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. After the lone road game in Des Moines, Tri-City will not leave the state of Nebraska until Nov. 2 when they head to Sioux City. Location..................................... Kearney, Neb.

Josh Hauge Welcome To Good Berger Storm forward Chase Berger scored the first goal of the regular season for Tri-City in their win over Lincoln last Saturday night. The tally, which was his first career USHL goal, tied the game in the second period and gave the Storm momentum. The Penn State commit excelled last season with St. Louis AAA, scoring 33 goals and adding 28 assists in 36 games. A St. Louis native, Berger centered a line with other first-year forwards Dan Labosky and Chris Wilkie that worked well together during the victory. Starting With Success After a win over Lincoln in their season opener Saturday night, TriCity has now gone 5-0-1 in their last six home openers. Storm head coach Josh Hauge is 2-0 in his first game of the season at home in his head coaching career in Tri-City, defeating Sioux City 4-3 in last year’s home opener. The Storm finished with a 13-17-2 record in front of their fans at the Viaero Event Center last season. For the second consecutive year, Tri-City had an attendance of over 3,000 on opening night. Wilkie Makes It Count Known around town as the first Nebraska native to wear a Storm sweater, Omaha ‘s Chris Wilkie didn’t disappoint in his first game in Kearney. He registered three shots on goal and gelled with his linemates before converting on a shootout attempt that helped secure a victory for Tri-City. Wilkie was the second Storm shooter to beat Lincoln netminder Michael Bitzer in the shootout before TriCity goalie Jacob Johansson stopped Magnus Hoff in the third round to clinch the win. Suspensions Served The weekend’s games will mark the return for two Storm veterans who were missing during Tri-City’s opening night victory. Forward Ryan McMurphy and defenseman Nolan Gluchowski were suspended three games apiece for their role in a penalty-filled preseason contest with Des Moines last month. Both returners should play a large role for the Storm this season. Gluchowski is the leading returning scorer among the defensive corps, after potting 8 goals and assisting on 11 others last season. McMurphy eats up minutes on the penalty kill while using his speed to help on the TriCity forecheck.

Since the Storm kicked off its inaugural season in 2000 there has been plenty of drama and excitement. But the 2003-04 season will forever be remembered in Kearney. In just their fourth season, the Storm had the perfect mix of skill and toughness to delight their fans with 43 wins, a franchise record. Tri-City racked up 91 total points and brought home the Anderson Cup, the trophy awarded to the USHL franchise with the most points during the regular season. The Storm also recieved recognition as the USHL Organization of the Year for the second time in their history. It was just the first full season for Head Coach Bliss Littler, who had taken the reigns midway through the 2002-03 season. Littler remained in control of the coaching duties until the end of the 2007-08 season. Five players from the Anderson Cup winning team went on to play professionally in the National Hockey League including Bill Thomas, Steve Wagner, Jack Hillen, Peter Mannino and Christian Hanson.
