Jaromir Jagr recorded the 15th hat trick of his storied career when the New Jersey Devils took on the Philadelphia Flyers on January 3rd. As with any hat trick, fans tossed their hats on to the ice which caused a short stoppage in play.
Do you wonder how many hats landed on the ice? What colors were they? Were they all hockey or baseball hats or were there some oddballs? The Devils provided some answers to questions no one was really asking, but we all enjoyed reading.

Where did that Boston Red Sox World Series hat came from? Did the person with the autographed Devils lid mean to throw it over the boards? Alas, some questions won’t be answered, but it’s pretty fun to see the Devils embrace advanced stats when it comes to hat tricks.
