This has no roots in college hockey, but a "Texas hat trick" is 4 goals in
one game by one player. It was a term coined during a Dallas Stars game a
couple of year ago when (I believe it was) Dave Gagner who scored 4 goals.
I was there. It was an exciting high scoring game . Everything's supposed
to be bigger in Texas, including hat tricks. :)
