On Tuesday, March 7th the Cheyenne Mountain High School hockey team hoisted the Class 4A State Championship trophy for the second-straight year.

With about four minutes left in the third OT period, senior Hank Walsh stepped up and scored the only goal of the game to seal the 1-0 win over No. 1 ranked Glenwood Springs.
