I recently reported in my Maine/LSSU recap that Dan Shermerhorn, who
scored three goals in the second period, scored a natural hat trick.
 
I am not familar myself with what constitutes a natural hat trick,
but both the broadcast yesterday and this morning's paper note that
Shermerhorn's three goals in the second, they were not in succession
either, was indeed a natural hat trick.
 
So what is the definition of a "natural hat trick"?  Is it three
goals in a row, regardless of period, three goals in succession in
the same period, or is it just three goals in a period?
