The undisputed true origins of the term âhat trickâ comes from the wildly popular sport, cricket. Interestingly, the use of the term is different than in other sports in that it is awarded for defensive play, rather than offensive.
The term hat trick was first used in 1858 to describe the accomplishment of H. H. Stephenson; taking three wickets in three consecutive balls. A collection was made, as per tradition for an outstanding achievement by a sportsman, and a hat bought with the proceeds was presented to him.
