HAT TRICKS SIGN DEFENSEMAN
The Danbury Hat Tricks announced today that the team has signed defenseman Mitchell Berens for the remainder of the 2025-2026 season.
Berens, 21, joins Danbury after playing the 2025-2026 season with the Meaford Knights in the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League (GMHL). Competing in the Ontario-based junior league, Berens notched 19 points and 7 assists across 27 games. He played his final game for Meaford on February 20th. Before this season, the Plainfield, IL native played for the Bold City Battalion in the USPHL (44 games, 13 goals, 35 assists) during the 2024-2025 season.
Commenting on the signing, Hat Tricks General Manager A.J. Galante said “Mitch is someone I identified early on this season, playing his last year of junior hockey. He is a young prospect with good size and is a true playmaker on the blue line. I believe his game will translate to the FPHL and excited for his progression.”
