The term itself has origins in the 19th century and it is now a common feature of football's everyday lexicon. Goal takes a look at the meaning of hat-trick, when it first came into use, records and more.
The term 'hat-trick' is used to define when a player achieves the feat of scoring three goals in a single game. Goals do not need to be scored in succession and it does not matter whether they are scored during normal regulation time or extra time. Due to the relative rarity of the feat, it has become tradition for players who score a hat-trick of goals to be given the match ball as a symbolic reward or memento. When a player has scored two goals in a game - which is sometimes known as 'a brace' - they are often described as being "on a hat-trick" due to the fact that another goal will complete a hat-trick.
It later was transferred to ice hockey, soccer, and baseball, where it denotes three consecutive successes goals, hits , and then to more general use. New Word List Word List.

Kerrick Elementary School Oct 27, Some of us had never heard of the term "hat trick" We discussed times that we have done something spectacular in a sporting event, like scoring touchdowns or making tackles 3 times in a football game.
We also had some basketball stories about making a basket 3 times. We all like playing sports and talked about times we had to be good sports. If someone scores a touchdown and isn't a good sport, it may make others around them feel nervous, sad, and mad.
It may even cause fights, which we do not want! We like playing sports for the lessons we learn about life, but also because it helps us in school to be good students.
Our coaches encourage us to get good grades.
