A quartet of Imperial Stormtroopers threw a new twist into the tradition of tossing hats after a hat trick on Friday. Literally.

Since Halloween is less than 24 hours away, four New York Rangers fans decided to attend their team's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs in Stormtrooper costumes. How they managed to drink beers with those helmets on is another matter entirely.

By the end of the game, Rangers forward Mats Zuccarello had scored a hat trick. So one of the Empire's finest decided to join in the hat-tossing festivities.

Unfortunately, that's against Imperial regulations. The Stormtrooper has since been discharged and banished to moisture farming on the outskirts of Anchorhead.
