Madhatters Battle Through Four-Game Stretch, Show Offensive Spark Despite Tough Results

October 17, 2025 – Red Bank Generals 5, Atlanta Madhatters 3

The Madhatters opened the weekend at PNY Sports Arena against the Red Bank Generals, falling 5–3 in a high-tempo matchup.

Nolan Stott led the way with back-to-back goals, including one on the power play, while Louka Dorgere added the third for Atlanta. Goaltender Edin Delean was tested all night, making 51 saves on 55 shots to keep his team in it.

Despite a solid offensive push in the second period, Atlanta couldn’t contain Red Bank’s scoring depth. The Generals capitalized on turnovers and used their size to control the slot area, forcing the Madhatters to play from behind. Atlanta’s power play showed promise, but Red Bank’s late third-period goals sealed the outcome.

Atlanta rebounded the following day with a strong 4–3 win over the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Knights at Revolution Ice Centre. Ethan Finlay opened the scoring midway through the second, followed by Louka Dorgere’s tally early in the third that put the Madhatters ahead. Camden Long added an empty-netter late in the game, and Jeremy Godbee secured the win with a goal in the final seconds.

The Hatters controlled the pace for much of the night, using crisp puck movement and quick transitions to create chances off the rush. Their defensive zone coverage tightened up compared to the previous game, limiting WBS to outside shots for much of the second period. The win showed a clear bounce-back effort and solid chemistry between the top lines.

In the weekend finale, the Knights evened the series with a 4–2 win on Sunday morning. Nolan Stott continued his hot streak, scoring both goals for Atlanta — one shorthanded and another on the power play. Goaltender Edin Delean turned aside 33 shots, keeping the Hatters competitive through all three periods.

Atlanta came out strong in the opening frame, matching WBS’s speed and physicality. However, penalties and fatigue started to tilt momentum toward the Knights in the later stages. Despite several quality scoring chances, the Madhatters struggled to convert in the third period, and WBS capitalized on defensive breakdowns to pull away for the win.

October 25, 2025 – Connecticut Jr. Rangers 5, Atlanta Madhatters 3

The Madhatters wrapped up their road swing at Chelsea Piers North, where they fell 5–3 to the Connecticut Jr. Rangers. Hunter Pipe opened the scoring on a first-period power play, followed by goals from Vincent Lattarulo and Miles Shields. Goalie Foster Lavallee faced heavy traffic in front of the crease, making 40 saves in the effort.

Atlanta showed flashes of dominance, especially during the second period when puck possession and cycling created sustained offensive pressure. However, the Jr. Rangers capitalized on special teams opportunities, including a key power-play goal in the third that shifted momentum for good. The Hatters battled until the final whistle but couldn’t overcome Connecticut’s late surge.

The Madhatters return home this Saturday looking to regroup after a demanding stretch of games. With consistent scoring from players like Stott, Dorgere, and Lattarulo, the team continues to show progress as they search for more complete performances heading into November.
