The term hat trick started in cricket. Specifically, a match between the All-England cricket team and the Hallam XI at Sheffield's Hyde Park ground, during which HH Stephenson of the All-England XI took three wickets in three balls. It was customary at the time for outstanding sporting feats to be rewarded by a collection - and the proceeds were used to buy a hat, which was then presented to Stephenson. The tradition of throwing hats onto the ice when a player scores a third goal in ice-hockey reportedly started with a 1940s Toronto haberdasher who used to give Maple Leaf hockey players free hats when they scored three goals in a game.
Sammy Taft scored 4 goals against the Toronto Maple Leafs on January 26, 1946. He wanted to buy a hat from Chicago Blackhawks forawrd Alex Kaleta but didn't have the money, so he made a deal that if he scored 3 goals, he would get a free hat, according to both legend and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat_trick#Hockey.
