All those sick kids in the Childrens Hospital would appreciate a cleaned up hat. Get some players signatures on it and you end up doing something good.

Speaking of the Oilers, I don't think this is true. As far as I know th hats go to homeless shelters. Why would they get stored at Rexall when they have nothing to do with that place anymore? Seems weird.

When I worked at the dome, the hats went into a box which fans had access to after the game. This was up to '92, so if this is true something changed.

I think one hat from every home hat trick in club history should be memorialized with the players autograph and placed in a permanent display case in the arena.

Throwing them in the trash is asinine who is responsible for this?

I'm thinking this list is probably 2-3 years old at least.
I actually thought they'd try to repurpose them as sweatpants somehow.

They are just hats...
I’m sure no one is banging on their door demanding a thousand used hats a year.

Has anyone on this board ever thrown their hat to celebrate? If so, did you regret doing it when you realize a replacement hat may be as much as $40 and the fact you have to finish the night with hat hair?

I tossed my one and only last year for Janko. It wasn't my favourite hat and didn't mind. It's the fun of it all. Since they were having a sale I promptly bought a replacement at intermission. That one I like more and won't be tossing it.
I like the display idea...they could all go in the back of the half tons. It would give the trucks a reason to be there.

I was in attendance when Cammy got his first career hat trick in Vancouver in 2008. I really wish I had a hat to toss on the ice, I was only a few rows away from the Flames bench too...

Vegas is on the list, so it can't be too old.

For the less fortunate having a hat to have some sort of shade while being out in the sun would be a far better use then throwing them out.

I am surprised that people try to reclaim their hats after the game. I always assume that you are saying goodbye the second it leaves your hand.

When reading the Oilers saving them for future use, did anyone think that was just a code for banner raising ceremony?
How about "#1 team with the most branded merchandise (hats, jerseys) thrown on the ice or into urinals"? That would hang nicely in Rogers Arena.

^ just like I can’t believe that someone seemingly took the time to contact all 30 NHL teams, find out what they do with the he hats, and then set up all the answers on a nicely prepared document

And I’m sure if there was an organization that wanted this, that would have been arranged. On top of the millions the Flames spend in charity work a year, maybe they donate enough brand new hats that no one needs used one.
