Frederick didn't even tie the WCHA record, which is 9.  It's held by six
different players, most recently Bobby Joyce of UND in 1987.  This info was
current as of 1989.  National record is 23, but that's in 1944, "pre-modern".

I'm sure some people on the list have - C.J. Young, formerly of Harvard and
Team USA, scored three SHG in 1:01 on the same shift against Dartmouth over
3 years ago.  A natural, shorthanded hat trick.  I think that came in a
10-1 win in December, 1988.
