SHERIDAN — Regular season statistics, records and 2020-21 series histories with certain teams did not influence the high school Under-18 Sheridan Hawks practice Tuesday night. Nor do the players allow their “ups and downs” from the regular season to affect their mindset before puck drop Friday begins Sheridan’s campaign to win the Wyoming Amateur Hockey League’s “B” State Championship.

“And we all want to win,” freshman Jesse Wilson added.
