It is impossible to count how many players have gotten a hat trick, as many occur every month. Sometimes, there are numerous hat tricks in a single week or day. Also, the NHL has been around for many decades, and in the beginning, hat tricks were not recorded.
As of my last update in October 2023, Lionel Messi is known for being one of the few players to have scored multiple hat tricks in a single calendar year, with a remarkable record of scoring 10 hat tricks in 2012. This achievement contributed to his incredible tally of goals that year, where he also set the record for the most goals in a calendar year. Other players may have also reached similar milestones, but Messi's performance remains one of the most notable in football history.
