where did the term hat trick in hockey come from
Hat-trick The term first appeared in 1858 in cricket, to describe H. H. Stephenson's taking three wickets with three consecutive deliveries. Fans held a collection for Stephenson, and presented him with a hat bought with the proceeds.[1] The term was used in print for the first time in 1865.[2] The term was eventually adopted by many other sports including hockey, association football, water polo and team handball.

Hat-trick Wayne Gretzky holds the NHL record for the most hat tricks in a career with 50. Harry Hyland scored the league's first hat trick, in the league's very first game on 19 December 1917, in which Hyland's Montreal Wanderers defeated the Toronto Arenas 10â€“9.[30]
Roughing the kicker In 1914, the term "roughing the kicker" came into use. Previously, it was known as "running into the fullback after the kick."[4]
