Willow White had the Westside opponents feeling blue.
White scored her first hat trick of the season to help the Vernon U10 Ice Breakers beat the hosts 16-1 in recent Thompson Okanagan Ringette League play at West Kelowna’s Royal LePage Arena.
Fiona Penner, Ezra Toplov and Shenna Phelans each had hat tricks, Danika Vienneau dialed in a deuce while single goals went to Kaylee Mellors and Sienna Vanderlinde. Tanner Jackson gave up just the one goal in the Ice Breakers’ net.
Rhea O’Brien and Erica Williamson outmaneuvered the competition, Jordyn Torrens, Morgan Sindlinger and Reese Bailey did a great job intercepting passes and keeping the pressure on.
The Ice Breakers take part in the annual Kelowna Ringette Sweetheart tournament this weekend.
