If a member of the home team scores a hat-trick, fans acknowledge it by throwing their own hats from the stands onto the ice, often causing a delay in play. This custom was started in Guelph, Ontario with the ]Guelph Biltmore Mad Hatters, sponsored by Biltmore Hats.
THE GUELPH BILTMORE MAD HATTERS - WERE SPONSORED BY THE GUELPH BILTMORE HAT COMPANY. Mr. Biltmore would throw his top hat onto the ice for the player that scored 3 goals. Fans soon followed his lead and offered their hats to the player as well.
