what happens to the hats after a hockey player gets a hat trick?

Some arenas give the hats to charity if they're not too nasty and sweaty.

Players who were selected to represent their countries were in fact given a cap similar to a schoolboys cap.  Each time the player appeared he got another cap.  At any stage, someone might ask 'how many caps has he got'................

The goal posts aren't anchored very well. Most schools prohibit fans from ruching the field after big games now. The pulling down of goal posts has killed and injured many people. I don't don't know when it started. I don't know when coaches and players cut down the net either. They do it after they win the championship or other huge games. It is kind of a tradition now.

Unllike most other sports, hockey players can only play for about 2 minutes straight before getting EXTREMELY tired. Changing players often has to be done "on the fly" if there has not been a stoppage in play for a while and can be tricky -- it can lead to a defensive error or a penalty for too many men on the ice. A goal however, is a stoppage in play and an opportunity to get fresh legs out there!

A hat-trick in sports is associated with succeeding at anything three times in three consecutive attempts. In North America it is often rendered as hat trick, with no hyphen. (The Oxford English Dictionary has it unhyphenated and gives a variety of examples published in the 19th and 20th centuries both with and without the hyphen.)\n\nThe term was originally used in cricket, and was connected with the custom of giving a hat or cap to a bowler who achieved the feat of taking three wickets in a row. It may be connected with the concept of giving someone their "cap", i.e. acknowledging them as a regular member of a representative team. Another school of thought mentions that a bowler was challenged if he could take three in three. Hats were passed around to collect the odds. The bowler succeeded and collected the large amount of cash. Thus the term hat-trick could have been also derived from this event.

YES! the players that score in the shootout do not get a goal added to there stats, as of the other night Huet of the Habs and Auld of the Panthers both received shutouts, but Auld also gets a 1 in the lose column.\n\nalwaysmoo...>>>> and it doesn't go on as a GWG only if he would score in overtime. and the only thing it affects on a goalie is in the Win, lose column if the team scored 2 of 3 it will not be added to the goalies GAA stats.\n\nGO HABS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Only if the league introduces a salery cap like the NFL and the NHL

When a player is on the ice, they record the number of goals for and against his team. If his team scores more than they are scored against while he is on the ice, he has a postive number.

1. No more two-line passes...basically the elimination of the red line \n\n2. Overtime goes 5 minutes..if not winner..a shoot out format is now in place\n\n3. Goals were moved forward a bit\n\n4. Goalies may not handle the puck behind the goal line unless it is directly behind the net, in a clearly marked area\n\n5. A 1-inch reduction in goalie pads\n\n6. A new definition of "hooking" and "interference"\n\n7. Sending the puck over the glass unimpeded from your defensive zone is now a 2 minute minor penalty..

It's not an official stat anymore.  There will be a stats geek somewhere that keeps it though, Try the hockey news they are usually good at keeping things like that.

I was out of town with my girls team and was in net.  Someone shot the puck and I made an awesome save.  I covered it and waited for the whistle.  Finally it blew and I stood up.  I left the puck on the ice because I was in an unusual position.  So the ref came over and picked it up.  I was just standing there with my arm on the top of the net when I slip.  My skate just slips on the ice.  I was standing there are cool and show-offy and I slip.  The ref (young, and very cute) saw it and starting laughing.  I did too, but not before blushing.\n\nI know it may not sound very funny, but at the time it was.

Like many of the others said, it depends on what level you're playing at.  At the professional level, it'll take a game or match misconduct, waaaay illegal equipment, or something boneheaded like spitting on the ref.\n\nI ref league games by my house and I've thrown people out for hitting me, tripping me, refusing to go to the sin bin, and much more.  I've ejected high schools players for racial slurs, swearing at the opposing coach, and telling me I need glasses.\n\nIf an NHL player told me I need glasses, I'd tell him his wife was a lot of fun last night.\n\nBasically, the higher up the game is, the less likely you'll see an ejection.  High school - frequent.  NHL - rare.  At the lower levels, it's more about babysitting than reffing.

It's the pine tar players use for their bats for better grip...it gets on their helmets everytime they adjust it, take it on, take it off...some playesr likd vlady use the same helmet every year, game in and game out so it looks pretty nasty...like Trot Nixon of the red sox, and ozzie guillen used to do the same when he played

The +/- stat is for individual players. When a player is on the ice and his team scores a goal, he gets +1. When he is on the ice and the other team scores a goal, he gets -1. So if a player has a +20 rating, his team scored 20 more goals than they gave up while he was on the ice.

A team dresses one back-up goalie. Conklin just so happened to be the back-up that night.\n\nBesides, I think the Oilers had lost that game already by the time Conklin came in.  They had blown a huge lead; it was their game to lose no matter who was in net.
