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

And if you noticed he wasn't even the first to do it. That distinction goes to a guy named Harry Cameron . He fought a guy named Couture to go with a five point night, three of them goals, as the St. Pats beat les Habitants 7-6. 24.83.3.54 00:10, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Hmm. that got me wondering, how many players have had hat tricks and GH Hatters in the same game? 24.83.3.54 00:13, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List Article?

I wonder, why can't we create a seperate article titled, List of National Hockey league players with Gordie Howe hat tricks ? Im new to this.

I'd be willing to help compile this, but it will require much research as most clubs don't officially record them. IrisKawling 15:24, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Roy hat-trick, the goaltender's equivalent?

I wonder if Patrick Roy or anyone else did this type of hat trick. Which entails goaltenders to: 1. Get into a fight (Roy gets a lot of them in his time, and he even alleged to instigate his son to do it).

2. Record an assist or a goal

3. Record a shut-out.TimHowardII (talk) 09:38, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
