The Biltmore Hat Company in Guelph, Ontario used to reward members of the Guelph Biltmore Mad Hatters (a junior hockey team in the OHA) with their choice of hats from the factory for scoring 3 goals in one game. Fans were also encouraged to throw their hats onto the ice as a show of appreciation. This is frequently referred to as the origin of the term, although some contend that the term originated in cricket where a hat trick refers to a bowler retiring three consecutive batsmen on three consecutive balls. This feat was traditionally rewarded with a hat. According to this version, the Biltmore Hat Company would have imported the tradition from cricket.
