an informal unit of quantity equal to 3. The unit is used in sports in counting goals, especially goals scored by the same player. It originated in cricket but is more familiar to North Americans in ice hockey. No one seems to know for sure why 3 goals came to be called a hat trick. According to one popular account, cricket clubs in England sometimes awarded a hat to a bowler who took 3 wickets with successive balls--but some suspect this was an effect, rather than a cause, of the expression. (In other sports, the goals of a hat trick generally don't have to be successive.)
