Apparantly Gordie Howe only got one of his own Hat Tricks through out his whole career. Wendel Clark probably also has to have a few.

I heard that on tv the other day and couldnt believe it. Its ironic that they name this (meaningless) stat after someone who achieved that distinction only once. too funny.

Very hard to see that Wendel isn't on that list. You'd think with all his goals and fights he'd be up near the top!

That list could very easily be renamed "The Power Forward List" All of 'em guys any team would love to have.

That list could also just mean active players. As you notice all of them are still playing. In the Hockey News it doesn't say is it is just active players or not, but that could be the situation.

Yea, I also found that strange that they named it after him. They could just of possibly picked the best player from that time era and called it that because alot of guys back then stuck up for themselves and they didn't have a team enfourcer.
