Sioux Falls, S.D. - The Sioux Falls Stampede announced the selection of three players from the United States Hockey League (USHL) dispersal draft of protected players from the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders and Madison Capitols held Monday.
Veteran defenseman Garrett Sundquist and forwards Michael Citara and Tyler Haskins were three of the 55 available players selected with the ninth overall pick in the draft by the Herd.

The three players will join the Herd for training camp and compete for a roster spot beginning on September 28.
The USHL announced the suspension of operations of the two Eastern Conference clubs on September 18 for the 2020-21 season, citing the damage done by the August 2020 derecho storm to ImOn Ice Arena in Cedar Rapids and the COVID-19 restrictions in Madison.
All selected players rights will return to the original club during the 2021-22 season.
