The tournament was originally conceived by Lehigh head coach Thad Turner to honor the legendary Billy Sheridan. From 2000-2003, Lehigh hosted the Sheridan Duals, a series of duals in which the Mountain Hawks faced three opponents on the first or second Saturday in December at Stabler Arena. Beginning with the 2004-05 season, Lehigh honored its legendary former coach with a single dual against a high profile opponent. That tradition began with a February 2005 dual against No. 1 Oklahoma State that drew 5,818 fans to Stabler Arena. For the second consecutive year, the recognition of coach Billy Sheridan returns to its original tournament format. 2023 Sheridan Tournament Finals Results Dec. 22, 2023 - Stabler Arena 125 - Sheldon Seymour (Lehigh) dec.
