The cricket term hat trick appeared first in British print in 1858. It refers to one player scoring three times in a row. In cricket jargon, one bowler takes three wickets with three balls in a row. That player was then permitted to pass around his hat and collect a few modest "rewards" such as pennies. So runs one story. Another says the cricket club bought the hat-tricking player a new hat. There are many versions of how the hat trick became connected to soccer, hockey, etc. most of which don't have supporting evidence.

What are the best ear warmers for running in the cold?
A nice lightweight hat should do the trick. If you are in an important race, and you get too warm while wearing the hat, then just toss the hat (unless it is expensive or of great importance to you). Your ears should not get cold for the rest of the race.
