Rylan Gibbs has his first-ever hat trick with the Parkland U18 Rangers.

Kicking off the preseason on Saturday night in Swan River, Gibbs scored three times in a big 8-1 win against Norman in the first of two straight against the most northern team in the league.

Gibbs is preparing for his second season with the team after he produced 19 points last year.

Five other skaters scored singles for the Rangers including Matthew Munro, Carter Zalischuk, Kyan Grouette, Keanu Woodhouse, and Steven Arp.

Parkland will go for the weekend sweep on Sunday afternoon.
