The practice predates hockey entirely, and goes back to English cricket. My understanding is that when a bowler in a pro-am exhibition match in the mid-19th century successfully sent off three consecutive pro batsmen, the last of the batters was so impressed he gave his hat to the bowler. Since then the term has come to be applied to any sporting endeavor in which three repetitions is especially difficult and skillful.
