Men used to wear hats.That's why we have this thing called the hat trick in hockey. Almost every hockey fan knows that the term hat trick comes from stories of old-time fans being so impressed with the performances of men on the ice scoring three goals in one game that they threw their hats on the ice.Now men don't wear hats, and, if they did, they would have to throw them on the ice at women's hockey games.
