You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

In ice hockey, a Gordie Howe hat trick is an unofficial variation on the hat trick, wherein a player scores a goal, records an assist, and gets in a fight all in one game. It is named after Gordie Howe, who is known for both his scoring ability and his fisticuffs.

The Gordie Howe hat trick is not an official statistic. Its conception is relatively recent; The Hockey News has statistics on it only since the 1996–97 NHL season. The San Jose Sharks, Calgary Flames, Nashville Predators, Edmonton Oilers, Ottawa Senators, Pittsburgh Penguins, and the Montreal Canadiens are the only teams in the NHL that record their franchise's Gordie Howe hat tricks.

The first known Gordie Howe hat trick was recorded by Hall of Famer Harry Cameron of the Toronto Arenas on December 26, 1917. Howe's only two occurrences were on October 10, 1953, and March 21, 1954.
