Butch Bouchard's Two Goal Hat Trick

Glen Harmon was a long-forgotten Montreal Canadiens defenseman. He may be best remembered nowadays for the quirky fact that he spent his summers working in his wife's hat store.

Before a game against Detroit, Harmon brought in one particular hat that Butch Bouchard really wanted. But when Harmon informed him of the price, Bouchard scoffed. So Harmon made his team captain a deal. If Butch Bouchard scored 2 goals against Detroit that night, he would get the hat free of charge. Bouchard - who had scored just 4 goals in the first half of the season - went out and scored both goals in a 2-0 victory.

At the end of the night Bouchard happily collected his prize.
