“The Hat Tricks are a perfect organization for me to start my broadcasting journey post-graduation,” said Lattuca. “Knowing the history and support of hockey in Danbury has me super excited to get started. I want to keep the strong and positive tradition going as a member of the Hat Tricks family, especially coming off the team”™s first championship.”
