Sheridan Hawks
ice hockey team in Sheridan, Wyoming
The Sheridan Hawks are a USA Hockey-sanctioned Tier III junior ice hockey team in the North American 3 Hockey League (NA3HL). The team plays home games at the Sheridan Ice M&M’s Center in Sheridan, Wyoming.
History
The team previously played at The River's Edge Ice Arena in Davenport, Iowa, where it was known as the Quad City Express and the Quad City Jr. Flames. In May 2013, the team announced that the Quad City Jr. Flames were granted approval by the NA3HL Board of Governors and the USA Hockey Junior Council to relocate to Madison, Wisconsin, for the 2013–14 season and play out of Hartmeyer Ice Arena as the Wisconsin Whalers. The team began playing out of the Oregon Ice Arena in nearby Oregon, Wisconsin, in the 2015–16 season.
Following the 2018–19 season, the Whalers were sold to the Sheridan Hawks Junior Hockey Club, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, based in Sheridan, Wyoming. The team was then branded as the Sheridan Hawks.
The players, ages 16–20, carried amateur status under Junior A guidelines and would hope to earn a spot on higher levels of junior ice hockey in the United States and Canada, collegiate, and eventually professional teams.

Why this record matters
“Sheridan Hawks” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Sheridan, Hawks and hockey provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7268272. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2013, 2015 and 2018.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
