After battling their way through their respective conferences, the Sioux City Musketeers and the Madison Capitols will face off in the best-of-five Clark Cup Final beginning Sunday, May 15.
Sioux City came into the postseason as the No. 2 seed and received a bye into the second round, where the Musketeers defeated Waterloo two games to one. They then swept the Anderson Cup champion, No. 1 Tri-City Storm in the Western Conference Final.
The Madison Capitols have been the Cinderella story of the postseason after earning their first playoff berth since they returned to the league in 2014. The Capitols will play in the first Clark Cup Final in franchise history. They came into the playoffs as the No. 5 seed and swept their first round matchup against the Youngstown Phantoms. They upset the No. 1 Chicago Steel two games to one to advance to the Eastern Conference Final and clinched their ticket to the Clark Cup Final with an 8-4 win over the Muskegon Lumberjacks in Game 5.
The first game of the Clark Cup Final will be played at Tyson Events Center in Sioux City on Sunday, with puck drop set for 3:05 p.m.
