No, a hat trick is 3 goals. A natural Hat trick is 3 goal in succession without anyone scoring goals in between. Hat tricks are not exclusive to hockey. They originated in the game of cricket.
It comes from the English game of cricket and refers to a bowler who takes three wickets with three successive balls. For those more familiar with baseball, this is an impressive achievement, similar to a baseball pitcher striking out three batters in a row, but much less common. It seems to have been the custom in the nineteenth century for such a paragon of the art to be awarded a new hat by his club as a mark of his success. However, it is sometimes also said that the phrase alludes to a distinctly more plebeian reward in which the bowler was permitted to take his hat around the crowd for a collection (not necessarily a bowler hat, of course: that was named after a couple of completely different chaps, Messrs Thomas and William Bowler, hatmakers). Hat trick was first recorded in print in the 1870s, but has since been widened to apply to any sport in which the person competing carries off some feat three times in quick succession, such as scoring three goals in one game of soccer.

a hat trick can only be 3 goals. There are 2 kinds of hat tricks. One kind is just a hat trick which is three goals in a game. the other is called a natural hat trick, which is three goals scored consecutively with nobody else on the same team scoring between them.

A hat trick is one player scoring three goals.
A natural hat trick is when one player scores his three goals with no goals scored by anyone else in between.
A "Gordie Howe hat trick" is a goal, an assist and a fight. But that's more of a joke thing and not a real statistic.

Two goals and an assist is not a hat-trick. It usually has to be three goals. There are exceptions though. If you get one goal, one assist, and one penalty, it is called a "Gordie Howe Hat Trick". You can also get a natural hat-trick (or nat-trick) which is three goals in a row. The "Ultimate Hat-Trick" is scoring in all 5 possibe game situations (shorthanded, power play, even strength, penalty shot, and empty-net). Mario Lemieux has done this, scored a 5 goal hat-trick, and even has his own unofficial "Mario Lemieux Hat-Trick", which is undergoing radiation therapy, and then scoring a goal and an assist the same night.

No. A hat trick is one player scoring 3 goals. Its even better if he scores 3 goals consecutively.

It needs to be three goals, it comes from some guy who offered a free hat to anyone that could score three goals in a game.
There's a Gordie Howe hattrick, named after the legend, that is a goal, assist and a fight.
