Gordie Howe, who passed away on Friday at the age of 88, will forever be remembered as one of the greatest players in the history of hockey. With a total of 1,685 penalty minutes throughout the duration of his career, he certainly was not afraid to drop the mitts and get aggressive.
It’s only appropriate, then, that when a player tallies a goal, an assist, and a fight all in the same game, they earn a Gordie Howe hat trick.
Several players in Dallas have risen to the ranks of those with such a hat trick under their belt.
