USHL Sioux City Musketeers

Pair of January Hot Shots Named

December 21, 2022 - United States Hockey League (USHL)
Sioux City Musketeers News Release


Evan Brennan, son of Leo and Tiffany, has been named the January 7 Hot Shot. Evan is fun and intelligent 15-year-old that attends Le Mars Community High School. He enjoys spending time with his family, bowling, cross country, track, band and video games. His family refers to him as the animal whisperer for their cat and dogs.

Evan has been diagnosed with high-functioning autism and ADHD with a severe vision impairment (severe myopia and nystagmus). Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. While those with autism may look like everyone else, they may behave, communicate, interact and learn in ways that are different from most people. Those with ADHD may have trouble paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors (including making choices without regard to the consequences) or may be overly active.

Evan has had 3 corrective eye muscle surgeries for the nystagmus. Nystagmus is a condition that causes involuntary, rapid movement of one or both eyes. It often occurs with vision problems, including blurriness. This condition is sometimes called "dancing" eyes. He still faces the possibility of detached retinas with any head trauma and will not be able to obtain a driver's license like his peers.

Please join us in celebrating Evan, our January 7th Hot Shot!

Whitehead Announced as January Hot Shot

Marcus Whitehead, the son of Ervin and Lisa, is the January 21st Hot Shot. Marcus is an amazing 13-year-old that attends the 7th grade at Gehlen Catholic School. His favorite things include playing basketball and little league baseball, riding horses at STARS and playing Pokémon Go. He loves spending time with his family, playing with his puppy Milo and all things sport!

Marcus receives occupational and speech services through Floyd Valley Therapies. Mom said she feels the services Marcus receives have helped him not only academically but also by reinforcing the skills needed to be at his typical peer level. Speech therapy has helped him to speak more clearly so he can communicate better, and occupational therapy has helped him with strength and fine motor skills help with his writing and participation in school activities.

Please join us in celebrating Marcus, our January 21st Hot Shot!

The Sioux City Musketeers, in partnership with Floyd Valley Healthcare (FVH), announced its new Hot Shots program this summer. This program was created with the goal of honoring FVH pediatric patients who have chronic health issues. We are excited to give children an opportunity to have a fun time with their family, cheer on the team and just enjoy being a kid for a night.
