Hatters Sweep Atlantic Division Weekly Honors in USPHL Elite

The United States Premier Hockey League (USPHL) Elite announced its Division Stars of the Week for February 9–15, 2026 — and the Atlanta Madhatters made a statement across the Atlantic Division.

Three Hatters were recognized for their standout performances, highlighting a dominant week for the program.

Ethan Finlay – Forward

Finlay led the Atlantic Division with a massive offensive surge, recording 8 points (4 goals, 4 assists) in three games. His ability to finish and create offense powered the Madhatters attack and set the tone in key moments throughout the week.

Ben Craft – Defenseman

From the blue line, Craft was a difference-maker, tallying 5 assists in three games. His puck movement and offensive instincts consistently sparked transition play and created scoring chances.

Foster Lavelle – Goaltender

Lavelle was flawless between the pipes, posting a 27-save shutout and finishing the week with a 1.000 save percentage. His composure and control anchored the MadHatters defensively in a critical matchup.

Head Coach Jason Linsay praised the trio’s impact, “It’s great to see Ethan, Ben, and Foster recognized. They earned it. Each of them stepped up in big moments and competed the right way all week. When your leaders drive performance like that, it elevates the entire locker room.”

With three players earning Division Stars of the Week honors, the Madhatters continue to build momentum as the season pushes forward.
