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.
This phenomenal feat is known as a âhat-trick,â a term used in a handful of sports to indicate three individual achievements in a given game. But where did the phrase come from, and what does scoring three goals in a game have to do with hats? The origins of the phrase donât have anything to do with hockey at all. In fact, the first use of the term âhat trickâ comes from a specific cricket match from 1858.
