Sheridan Hawks Junior Hockey: The Sheridan Hawks have established themselves as the team to beat in the NA3HL’s Frontier Division, and now the team is preparing to face some other top level competition.
The team will compete in the 3-day NA3HL Showcase Event beginning on Sunday in Blaine, Minnesota, which is a northern suburb of Minneapolis.
All teams in the league will play 3 games against teams from other divisions that are in the same position that they’re in.
For Sheridan, that means the team will take on 3 other top tier teams, and first up on Sunday at 5:15pm, is the undefeated Louisiana Drillers, based out of Lafayette, who lead the Southeast Division and are also the defending NA3HL Champs.
The Hawks then play on Monday at 5:30pm, against the Long Beach Sharks, who are based out of Long Island, New York and are in 1st place in the East Division.
Sheridan will conclude the Showcase Event on Tuesday at 11:15am, against the host team, the Minnesota Moose, who are in 1st place in the West Division.
Hawks Head Coach J.J. Santagata says these next 3 opponents should be able to provide the different type of challenges that the team has been looking for.
In the NA3HL’s weekly 10 rankings, the Hawks are ranked #7.
The Drillers are ranked #1, the Sharks #5 and the Moose #2.
The Louisiana Drillers lead the league in goals scored with 263 after 23 games, and have only allowed 19 pucks into their own net.
Goalie T.J. Wonnacott says Sheridan just needs to worry about themselves and not get caught up in the hype regarding their opponents.
After the Showcase Event, Sheridan will return home, take a break for the holidays and then play again on January 2nd and 3rd at Bozeman, Montana.
The next scheduled home games are not until January 16th and 17th, also against Bozeman.
