SIOUX FALLS, S.D.— The Sioux Falls Stampede is getting ready for a home-and-home series against the Omaha Lancers this weekend. The Herd heads to Omaha on Friday, Nov. 10 then is back at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center on Saturday at 6:05 p.m. for the annual Military Appreciation night! Veterans and active-duty military members are invited to stop by the Stampede office to pick up FREE tickets, compliments of local businesses and organizations. Tickets are available through the Stampede office and Ticketmaster.
The 8-5-1 Stampede and 1-9-2 Lancers have met one other time this season when the Herd went to Omaha, Neb. on October 21. Jaksen Panzer, Will McDonough, Jake Toll and Chris Pelosi all found goals in the 4-3 overtime win. Michael Chambre found the win between the pipes for the Herd, his third of the season. The Stampede currently sits in third place in the USHL Western Conference with 17 points, while Omaha is in eighth with four.
Saturday is set to be a great night celebrating the men and women of our nation’s military. The team will be wearing specialty military themed jerseys that will be raffled off during the game. Fans can purchase raffle tickets at the raffle and chuck-a-puck table at the top of the stairs in the main concourse. Funds raised from this raffle benefit the Veterans Community Project and Warriors Never Give Up. Along with a special pre-game ceremony from the South Dakota Army National Guard, guard members will be showing their skills as they rappel from the rafters before puck drop.
Next week, the Stampede host the Sioux City Musketeers on Friday, Nov. 17 for Pink in the Rink Night. Another specialty jersey night, this time benefiting the American Cancer Society. The following Sunday, the Stampede hosts Waterloo for a 4:05 p.m. game, with a post-game Skate with the Herd following. More information on Pink in the Rink Night and the following games will be released next week. Tickets for both games, plus all of the rest of the Stampede’s home season, are available through the Stampede office, KELOLAND Box Office, and Ticketmaster outlets.
