Beats NHL Record for Hat Trick

CLARINGTON -- A Clarington boy was on a hockey high after scoring a natural hat trick, three goals, in just 19 seconds during a tournament last weekend.
Ten-year-old Aiden Cupelli, a centre for the Clarington atom A Toros, was playing in the Avalanche Minor Sports Thanksgiving Tournament at York University on Oct. 11 against the Goulding Park Rangers when it happened.
“In the second period he came on for a shift and he scored a goal and another goal and a third, the time from the first goal to the third goal was just 19 seconds,” said Aiden’s proud grandfather, Allan Kirby.

Almost a World Record

Aiden had an amazing hockey game at the York University Campus today. He scored 3 goals in one shift. According to the official game sheet it was just 19 seconds between the first goal and his third goal.
A quick internet search tells us that the quickest hat-trick in minor hockey was 35 seconds then a boy from Cobourg broke that record at 14 seconds three year's ago, and I guess it still stands because Aiden's were 19 seconds apart. That all happened in the second period. In the third period Aiden scored another 2 goals on the same shift just seconds apart. Final score 6 to 0 with Aiden scoring 5 of them.
