Broadway Hat: Fashion Forward Thinking

The guy you see in this snazzy hat is Ryan Callahan, but it isn't Callahan that this piece is about, but rather the hat that he is wearing.  This season, the hat, known as the Broadway Hat, is worn by the Rangers player that does the most in every Rangers victory.  The origins of this hat?

Following the Rangers' first victory of the season, Henrik Lundqvist was seen sporting a black fedora for post-game interviews. Asked about the hat, Lundqvist said: "(Brad Richards) gave it to me. Someone bought it in Europe, and it's going to be our winning hat this year! We call it the Broadway Hat! Someone has to wear it after each win, and today was my turn. I am going to try and wear this hat every game. That's going to be my goal!" Check out all the different Rangers who have earned the hat to date this season.

For a team that is based out of New York, this hat is about as appropriate as it gets.  They're not the first team to introduce apparel to be worn after every victory (the gold jacket from the Bruins last playoff season and the hard hat that the Calgary Flames passed around during their Stanley Cup Final run in 2004), but fashion forward suits the Rangers perfectly.  Now, when will we see Sean Avery sport this hat?
