A natural hat trick is when a player scores three straight goals in a
game, without any one else on his team scoring.

I thought it was just when a player scored three goals, with no empty-net
goals.

Its when you score 3 goals in a row, none of them short handed or any of
them from powerplays, or any of them empty netters. Just three normal
goals in a row during the same regulation length game.

This was hashed out a while back and I think it boiled down to this:

Hat trick - player scores three goals in a game.

Natural hat trick - player scores three goals in a row (no one else
on either team scores in between these goals).

Perfect hat trick - player scores three goals in a row in a single period.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Keep your stick on the ice.

Seems about right.
The original 'HAT TRICK' was awarded to the players who scored 3 goals
in a period. They got a Free hat from a Toronto hat maker who worked
across from the gardens. That is the origin of the term, for the whole
world.
At least according to the CBC.

The brits also claim to have invented the "hat trick". They claim that
the term was originally a cricket term. Allegedly, if a bowler took 3
wickets in a row, then the rest of the players would give the bowler
their hats, or something like that.

That is incorrect. It does not matter when the goals are scored or what
the situation is so long as the goals are scored in a row.

Alright I'll join this goofy debate!

Natural Hat Trick: Three goals in a row, same game, without anyone else
scoring from either side. That's it. It doesn't matter when, just as
long as they're in the same game.

Here ya' go, (Random House Dictionary)....

hat' trick n.
1. the knocking off by one bowler of three
wickets with three successive pitches in
a game of cricket.
2. three goals or points scored by one
player, as in a game of ice hockey or
soccer.
3. a clever or adroitly deceptive maneuver.
[1875-80]

Personal note: I would like to see a lot more of #3 these days; I think
that finesse in hockey has been greatly diminished by the various
fights/fair-weather fans/etc...

huh? just how do fights impact the level of finesse in hockey? especially
since there has been fighting in nhl hockey since it's inception. i
suppose guy lafluer, bobby orr and gilbert perreault had so much more
finesse because there was no fighting back then? and wayne gretzky was a
far better player on the oilers where they had no fights at all. or that
doug harvey never had to contend with fisticuffs? we won't even get into
eddie shore or howie morenz, rocket richard or others, since obviously
fighting wasn't part of the game then.

for that matter i'm at a loss to see how fair-weather fans have any effect
either on talent level.

now, if yoiu want to bring up talent dilution due to expansion, you might
have a point.

and please, drop the html.
