A 'hat-trick' - email jksw

"A hat-trick or hat trick in sport is the achievement of a positive feat  three times or more during a game, or other achievements based on threes.

The term was first used in 1858 in cricket to describe HH Stephenson's feat  of taking three wickets with three consecutive deliveries. A collection was held for Stephenson, and he was presented with a hat bought with the proceeds.[1]

The term was used in print for the first time in 1878.[2] The term was eventually adopted by many other sports including association football, water polo, and team handball, but did not become popular in North America until the mid-1940s in the National Hockey League.[citation needed]?
