Ironically, it appears that Gordie Howe never actually had a Gordie Howe hat trick in any game. This is currently being researched by Liam McGuire in Ottawa but so far apparently he has been unable to find a Gordie Howe game which meets this criteria (goal, assist, won fight).

According to "The Myth of the Gordie Howe Hat Trick", Monday, April 10, 2006, Gordie Howe did earn a "Gordie Howe Hat Trick" on December 22, 1955 against Boston's Lionel Heinrich. See: http://www.640toronto.com/station/blog_jeff_marek.cfm?bid=74
